What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
F050000AAM
4. Check to  see if the  water pump  drive
belt  is  missing.  If  it   is  not  missing,
check to see that it  is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check for
coolant   leaking   from   the   radiator,
hoses or  under the  vehicle. (If the  air
conditioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal for cold  water to be  draining from
it when you stop).
6.If  you  cannot   find  the  cause  of  the
overheating, wait until the  engine tem-
perature has returned to normal. Then,
if coolant  has been lost,  carefully add
coolant  to  the  reservoir  to  bring  the
fluid  level  in  the  reservoir  up  to  the
halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution,  keeping alert for
further  signs  of  overheating.  If  over-
heating happens again, call an author-
ized KIA dealer for assistance.
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a  loss of power,
or  hear  loud  pinging  or   knocking,  the
engine  will  probably  be too  hot.  If  this
happens, you should:
1.
2.
Pull off the road and stop as soon as it
is safe to do so.
Place the  shift lever  in P  (Park, auto-
matic  transaxle)   or  Neutral   (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
WARNING
While  the engine  is  running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away  from
moving parts  such  as the  fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
CAUTION
3.
If engine  coolant is running  out under
the  vehicle  or  steam  is   coming  out
from  underneath  the  hood,  stop  the
engine. Do not open the hood until the
coolant  has  stopped  running  or   the
steaming  has stopped.  If  there is  no
visible loss  of  engine coolant  and no
steam,  leave the  engine running  and
check  to be  sure  the  engine  cooling
fan is  operating. If  the fan  is not  run-
ning, turn the engine off.
Serious  loss   of  coolant   indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system
and this should be checked as soon
as  possible  by  an  authorized  KIA
dealer.
5.
If the  water pump drive  belt is broken
or engine  coolant is  leaking out,  stop
the  engine  immediately  and  call  the
nearest   authorized   KIA   dealer   for
assistance.
WARNING
Do  not   remove  the   radiator  cap
when  the engine  is  hot. This  may
result in coolant being blown out of
the   opening   and  cause   serious
burns.
