Maintenance
DRIVE BELTS
POWER STEERING (IF EQUIPPED)
Drive belts should be checked periodical-
ly for proper tension and adjusted if nec-
essary. At the same time, belts should be
examined  for   cracks,  wear,  fraying   or
other   evidence   of   deterioration    and
replaced if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be
sure there is no interference between the
belts and other parts of the engine. After
a belt is replaced, the new belt should be
adjusted again after two or three weeks
to  eliminate  slack  resulting  from  initial
stretching after use.
In the event the power steering system
requires  frequent  addition  of  fluid,  the
vehicle   should   be   inspected    by   an
authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
To avoid  damage  to the  power steer-
ing pump,  do not  operate  the vehicle
for   prolonged   periods   with   a  low
power steering fluid level.
Never start the engine when the reser-
voir tank is empty.
When  adding  fluid,   be  careful  that
dirt does not get  into the tank.
Insufficient     fluid     can    result    in
increased   steering   effort;   excessive
noise may also be present as the steer-
ing wheel is turned.

Have  the  drive  belts  checked  in  accor-
dance with the maintenance schedule.
level
With the vehicle on level ground, check
the fluid level in the power steering reser-
voir  periodically.   The  fluid   should  be
between  MAX  and  MIN  marks  on  the
side of the reservoir at the normal tem-
perature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thor-
oughly clean the area around the reser-
voir cap to prevent power steering fluid
contamination.
•  The   use  of   the   non-specified   fluid
could  reduce the  effectiveness  of  the
power steering  wheel and cause dam-
age to it.
Use  only  the  specified  power  steering
fluid.
(Refer
to
"Recommended
Lubricants" later in this section.)
Powersteering  hose
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.
Check the hoses and hose connections
for  leaks  or  damage  before  driving  the
vehicle.
