necessary
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved  de-icer  fluid or  glycerine  into
the key opening. If a lock is  covered with
ice,  squirt  it with  an  approved  de-icing
fluid  to  remove  the   ice. If   the  lock  is
frozen internally, you may be able to thaw
it out  by using a  heated key. Handle the
heated key with care to avoid injury.
Your vehicle is delivered with high quality
ethylene  glycol  coolant   in  the  cooling
system. It is the only type  of coolant that
should be used because it  helps prevent
corrosion  in  the  cooling  system,  lubri-
cates   the  water   pump   and  prevents
freezing. Be sure to  replace or replenish
your  coolant   in   accordance   with  the
maintenance   schedule    in  section    7.
Before winter, have your coolant tested to
assure that its freezing  point is sufficient
for  the  temperatures anticipated  during
the winter.
In some climates it is recommended  that
a  lower viscosity  "winter  weight"  oil  be
used during cold  weather. See section 8
for recommendations.  If you  aren't  sure
what weight  oil you  should use,  consult
an authorized KIA dealer.

To keep the  water in the window washer
system from  freezing,  add an  approved
window  washer   anti-freeze  solution  in
accordance with instructions on  the con-
tainer.  Window   washer   anti-freeze   is
available from  an authorized  KIA dealer
and most  auto parts outlets. Do  not use
engine  coolant  or  other  types  of  anti-
freeze  as these  may  damage the  paint
finish.
