What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a
loss of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1.Turn on the emergency warning
flasher and stop in a safe place.
Move the shift lever to P (Park) and
engage the parking brake.
2.If hot steam does not come out
from the engine room, carefully
open the engine room and check
whether the water pump connector
is properly engaged. If the connec-
tor is not properly engaged, stop
the engine immediately and prop-
erly engage the connector. Then,
turn the engine on.
3.Turn on the air conditioner.
4.If the “HEV Warning” light turns on
in the driver instrument cluster, or
engine coolant or hot steam emits
from the engine coolant filler, stop
the engine immediately. Then, have
a check at a professional work shop
for assistance. Kia recommends to
visit the nearest authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
If the “Engine Warning” light
remains illuminated or the engine
coolant is not flowing out, keep the
engine running. Open the engine
bonnet for ventilation to help cool
down the engine.
5.Check whether the engine coolant
temperature is low enough by
checking its temperature. If the
engine coolant level is low, please
check the connecting parts
between the radiator hose, heater
hose, and water pump for any
signs of leakage. When there is no
sign of leakage, please refill the
engine coolant. If causes and signs
of engine overheating such as
warning light illumination, engine
coolant leakage, or cooling fan
malfunction are found, stop the
vehicle the earliest. Then, have a
check at a professional work shop
for assistance. Kia recommends to
visit the nearest authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
