In case of an emergency
OVERHEATING  
If your  temperature  gauge  indicates
overheating, if you experience  a loss
of power, or if you hear a loud knock-
ing or  pinging noise,  the engine  has
probably  overheated. Should  any  of
these  symptoms  occur, use  the  fol-
lowing procedure:
If coolant  is not  boiling  out, allow
the  engine  to  idle  and  open the
hood to  permit the  engine to cool
gradually.
If  the  temperature   does  not   go
down with  the  engine idling,  stop
the   engine  and   allow   sufficient
time for it to  cool.
The  coolant level  should  then  be
checked. If  the  level in  the reser-
voir  is  low,  look  for  leaks  at  the
radiator  hoses   and  connections,
heater   hoses   and   connections,
radiator,  and  water  pump.  If  you
find a  major leak or  another prob-
lem  that   may  have   caused  the
engine to overheat, do not operate
the  engine  until  it has  been  cor-
rected.   Call   an  Authorized    Kia
Dealer for assistance. If you do not
find a leak  or other problem, care-
fully add coolant  to the reservoir.
WARNING - Removing
radiator cap
Do not  remove the  radiator cap
when  the   engine  and  radiator
are  hot.   Scalding   hot  coolant
and steam may  blow out  under
pressure.This  could causeseri-
ousinjury.
