WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐
ing fan) is controlled by
engine coolant tempera‐
ture, refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate even
when the engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working near
the blades of the cooling fan so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan
blades. As the engine coolant tem‐
perature decreases, the electric mo‐
tor will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition.
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater ho‐
ses. Replace any swollen or deteriora‐
ted hoses.
The coolant level should be filled be‐
tween F and L marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water. Bring the
level to F (Full), but do not overfill.
If frequent additions are required, have
the system inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Recommended engine coolant
• When adding coolant, use only deion‐
ized water or soft water for your ve‐
hicle and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An im‐
proper coolant mixture can result in
serious malfunction or engine dam‐
age.
• The engine in your vehicle has alumi‐
num engine parts and must be pro‐
tected by an ethylene-glycol-based
coolant to prevent corrosion and
freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the speci‐
fied coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would re‐
duce the effectiveness of the solu‐
tion.
For mixture percentage, refer to the
following table.
