On the road, your engine’s heat is limited by the cooling system, without which overheating could blow the gasket, warp a piston, or even crack the engine block. Carry out the following Kia cooling system maintenance to keep your engine cool, healthy, and working well.

Flush Your Coolant Routinely

Coolant absorbs heat as it passes through the engine and releases that heat through the fins of the radiator. As long as this vital fluid remains in good shape, it will cool things down effectively. 

However, coolant slowly deteriorates and loses its anti-corrosion qualities. You’ll typically need to have it flushed every two years or 30,000 miles before it causes engine problems.

For many drivers, servicing their brakes just means replacing brake pads and rotors, but brake fluid is equally important and should never be forgotten. This brief guide to Kia brake fluid maintenance will make sure your car always stops when you press the pedal. 

How Brake Fluid Serves a Vital Function

The primary function of brake fluid is to sustain hydraulic pressure inside the brake lines. When you want your car to slow down, a stopping signal is passed from the master cylinder through the pressurized brake fluid to the calipers at each wheel’s brakes. 

If your brake fluid becomes contaminated by moisture or air, this hydraulic pressure diminishes, which could reduce your car’s stopping power. Without regular maintenance, rust can also form inside brake lines. It’s therefore essential to monitor your brake fluid’s condition and flush it periodically.

Did you know rear-end collisions account for a third of all serious speeding-related crashes? When you have Kia collision-avoidance assist installed in your car, you’re much safer from all forward-collision hazards. Read on to learn more. 

Detect Threats From Cars, Trucks, Cyclists, and Pedestrians

Your Kia has a forward-facing camera at the top of the windshield and also a front radar on the grill. This feature uses both to monitor the road ahead for collision threats. If any vehicle, including a bicycle, or pedestrian suddenly creates a collision hazard ahead, your car will detect it, warn you about it, and help to avoid the collision.

If you also opt to install corner radars at the front of your Kia, you’ll expand the feature’s functionality. Note that the following aspects of this safety tech may come as standard or optional on your Kia. You can ask us about your particular model.
