POWER STEERING FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
NOTICE - (if equipped)
CAUTION
Check   that  the   fluid  level   is  in   the
"HOT"  range  on  the  reservoir.  If  the
fluid  is   cold,  check  that   it  is   in  the
"COLD" range (if equipped).
To  avoid  damage   to  the  power
steering pump, do not operate the
vehicle   for   prolonged   periods
with  a  low  power  steering  fluid
level.
Never  start the  engine when  the
reservoir tank is empty.
In the  event  the power  steering system
requires  frequent  addition  of  fluid,  the
vehicle   should   be   inspected    by   an
authorized KIA dealer.
•  When adding fluid, be careful that
dirt does not get into  the tank.
Too   little    fluid   can   result    in
increased  steering  effort  and/or
noise  from   the   power  steering
system.

Checking the power steering fluid
level
•  The use  of the non-specified  fluid
could reduce  the effectiveness  of
the  power   steering  system   and
cause damage to it.
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.
Use  only  the  specified  power  steering
fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricants
or capacities" in section 8.)

age  and  twists   in  the  power   steering
hose before driving.
