Drive belt
Highway driving
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to
specification. Low tire inflation pressures
will result in overheating and possible
failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires
which may result in reduced traction or
tire failure.
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING
Under/over inflated tires
Always check the tires for proper infla-
tion before driving. Underinflated or
overinflated tires can cause poor han-
dling, loss of vehicle control, and sudden
tire failure leading to accidents, injuries,
and even death. For proper tire pres-
sures, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 8-5.

ordinary vehicle when there is no IVT
transmission oil leakage. If towing to an
ordinary vehicle in the event of oil leak-
age, the transmission may be damaged.
CAUTION
Intelligent Variable Transmission
僅 If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed 6
only from the front.
Be sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to oper-
ate the steering and brakes.
僅 Before towing, check the Intelligent
Variable Transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the Intelligent
Variable Transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.

Proper fluid
Only use brake fluid in the brake system.
Small amounts of improper fluids can

Tires typically loose 7 kPa (1 psi) for 8
every 12 °F (-11 °C) temperature drop.
If extreme temperature variations are
expected, recheck your tire pressure
as necessary to keep them properly
inflated.
僅 We recommend that when replacing
tires, use the same originally supplied
with the vehicles. If not, that affects
driving performance.

it is natural for the atmospheric pres-

Recommended lubricants and capacities

To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only
lubricants of the proper quality.
The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved
fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

*1. Refer to "Recommended SAE viscosity number" on page 8-10.
*2. Use only specified genuine Continuously variable Transmission fluid. The use of non-specified fluid
(even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration and vibrations,
eventually, the transmission failure.
*3. Different type of coolant or water may damage the electrical component.
*4. To maintain your vehicle`s best brake and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia genuine brake fluid or
those of an equivalent standard brake fluid as in the specification.

CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather oper-
ating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide
better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine
oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine
damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be oper-
ated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity
from the chart.
