What should I do if airflow from the air vents suddenly decreases?

2027

Have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer if airflow from the air vents suddenly decreases.

2025

Have the climate control system checked by an authorized Kia dealer, because accumulated filter pollutants can reduce airflow and cause windshield moisture.

What should I do if the brake warning light stays on after releasing the parking brake?

2027

Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop if the light appears after you release the parking brake.

With the engine stopped, check and add brake fluid as required, inspect for leaks, and do not drive if a leak, warning light, or braking problem remains; have the vehicle towed for inspection.

How do I choose automatic transmission fluid for this vehicle?

2027

For the automatic transmission, use only specified genuine ATF: SK ATF SP4M-1, MICHANG ATF SP4M-1, S-OIL ATF SP4M-1, or Kia Genuine ATF; non-specified fluid can cause poor shifting, vibration, and eventual transmission failure.

2025

Under normal usage, AT fluid should not be checked; have an authorized Kia dealer change it.

Darkening during driving is normal, so do not use color to decide replacement, and use only specified AT fluid because non-specified fluid can cause transmission malfunction and failure.

How do I replace the front climate control air filter?

2025

The filter is behind the glove box; have an authorized Kia dealer replace it according to the Maintenance Schedule.

In dusty or rough-road conditions, more frequent inspections and changes are required.
