2020–2027 Kia Telluride FAQ
What should I do if airflow from the vents suddenly decreases?
2020–2027
Have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer if airflow from the air vents suddenly decreases.
Page 315 in the 2027 manual →When should I replace the climate control air filter?
2027
Replace it according to the Maintenance Schedule; accumulated dust or pollutants can reduce airflow, heating and cooling performance, and cause unpleasant odors.
Page 314 in the 2027 manual →2020–2023
Replace the climate control air filter according to the Maintenance Schedule, with more frequent inspections and changes on dusty or rough roads.
Page 239 in the 2023 manual →What should I do if the Digital Center Mirror malfunctions?
2027
If the Digital Center Mirror malfunctions, immediately switch it to conventional rearview mirror mode.
Page 131 in the 2027 manual →How should I tighten the fuel cap to prevent the Check Engine light?
2027
Turn the fuel cap until you hear one click; if you do not, the Check Engine light illuminates.
Page 14 in the 2027 manual →2024–2025
After refueling, tighten the fuel cap until it clicks one time; otherwise, the Check Engine warning will appear.
Page 7 in the 2025 manual →What does a blinking immobilizer indicator light mean?
2027
A blinking light can mean the smart-key battery is weak; press the ENGINE START/STOP button with the smart key to start the engine.
It can also indicate an immobilizer-system malfunction, which requires inspection by an authorized Kia dealer.
Page 168 in the 2027 manual →When should I replace the automatic transmission fluid under severe driving conditions?
2027
Under severe driving conditions listed as A, C, F, G, H, I, J, or K, replace the automatic transmission fluid every 56,000 miles (91,000 km).
Page 707 in the 2027 manual →2024–2025
Automatic transmission fluid normally darkens from its usual red color, so do not judge replacement need by color alone.
Page 463 in the 2025 manual →2020–2023
Do not check it under normal usage; under severe conditions, an authorized Kia dealer should change it according to the maintenance schedule.
Page 487 in the 2023 manual →Should I check transmission fluid or replace it based on its color?
2027
Under normal usage, do not check the automatic transmission fluid yourself; have an authorized Kia dealer change it.
Fluid normally darkens with driving, so color alone does not mean replacement is needed, and only specified fluid should be used because non-specified fluid can cause malfunction or failure.
Page 709 in the 2027 manual →2020–2023
Fluid normally darkens as you drive, so do not judge whether replacement is needed by its changed color.
Page 487 in the 2023 manual →How often should I rotate the tires?
How should I replace the spark plugs?
2020–2023
Install new spark plugs with the correct heat range, and wipe the ignition-coil boot bottom and plug insulator with a soft cloth to prevent contamination.
Page 486 in the 2023 manual →What climate setting does remote start use?
2020–2023
Remote start maintains the climate setting selected when the engine restarts, but climate remains off if it was off before shutdown.
Page 112 in the 2023 manual →How do I start and stop the engine remotely?
2020–2023
- Press the door lock button; the hazard warning lights blink once.
- Within 4 seconds, press the remote start button for more than 2 seconds to start the engine.
- Remote start is available outside the vehicle when it is equipped with an automatic transmission.
- While the engine is running remotely, the hazard warning lights blink; press the remote start button again to stop it.
How do I remote-start the Telluride?
2020–2023
- Remote start works outside the vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission and starts the engine with the climate system.
- Press the door lock button, then press the remote start button for more than 2 seconds within 4 seconds.
- To stop the engine, press the remote start button again; the climate system does not operate if it was off before shutdown.
