Replacement And Air Bleeding: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Kia Seltos. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping from the radiator.
CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or the paint. If any coolant spills rinse it off immediately.
  1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the touch.
  2. Remove the reservoir tankcap (A).
