Coolant Refilling And Air Bleeding
• When working on high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. It is because that lack of knowledge of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or electric leakage.
• When working a high voltage system, the technician must be recognized and observe "General Safety Information and Caution". If do not follow, serious accidents like electric shock and short circuit are caused.
• When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and high voltage shut-off procedures.
• Use a fender cover to protect the painted surface.
• Be careful not to damage the connector when disconnecting.

16.Install the coolant drain adapter and hose (A) to the water hose.
17.Put the opposite of the coolant drain adapter and hose (A) to a bucket (B).
18.Turn the pressurization valve (A) of the SST (0K253 - J2300) in the direction of the arrow to drain coolant.
19.Close the pressurization valve after drain coolant, and then install the water hose (A).

23.Open the vacuum valve (A) of the SST (0K253 - J2300) in the direction of the arrow, and then close when the vacuum gauge (B) reaches the green area (C).
24.Connect the coolant suction hose (A) to the SST (0K253 - J2300) coolant filler valve and place the opposite hose in the bucket (B) containing new coolant.
25.Turn the suction valve (A) in the direction of the arrow to fill new coolant, and then close it when the vacuum gauge reaches to '0'.
| Battery Type | Coolant | Specification | |

| Long range (ℓ) | 19.4 | 19.6 | |
• In order to maintain the best coolant performance, use the antifreeze that meets standards.Genuine antifreeze is an antifreeze whose quality and performance are guaranteed by Kia.
• Do not mix antifreeze/coolant from different brands.
• Do not add any anti-rust.
• Use only distilled water when mixing antifreeze with water.
• For best corrosion protection, the coolant concentration must be maintained year-round at 45% (except for North America, Europe and China: 55%) minimum. Coolant concentrations less than 45% (except for North America, Europe and China: 55%) may not provide sufficient protection against corrosion or freezing.
• Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will impair cooling efficiency and are not recommended.
26.Remove the radiator cap adapter (A).
27.Connect the KDS and perform the "Electric Water Pump Control" on the S/W management menu.
28.When the Electric Water Pump (EWP) begins to operate and the coolant begins to circulate, fill the reservoir tank with coolant.
• Friction may damage the bearing if the EWP is operated without coolant.
• If the coolant circulation is not smooth or air bubbles are still visible, repeat step 27 - 28.
• Operate the battery EWP until the air bleeding is complete.
29.Connect the KDS, and then perform the "Battery EWP Operation Mode for Degassing and circulation.
30.When the battery Electric Water Pump (EWP) begins to operate and the coolant begins to circulate, fill the reservoir tank with coolant.
• Friction may damage the bearing if the EWP is operated without coolant.
• If the coolant circulation is not smooth or air bubbles are still visible, repeat step 29 - 30.
• Operate the battery EWP until the air bleeding is complete.
31.Stop the battery EWP operation after air bleeding, and then fil coolant until "MAX" line of the reservoir tank and install the reservoir cap.
• If the noise is less during EWP operation and there is no air bubbles in the reservoir tank, the cooling system air bleeding is complete.
• The cooling system air bleeding and coolant injection are performed perfectly when the coolant is completely cooled. Check the coolant level of the reservoir tank for 2 - 3 days after flushing the coolant.
• Make sure the quick connector (A) is installed securely.
32.Start the vehicle and then check the coolant hose and pipe connections for leakage.
33.Install the front under cover.(Refer to Motor and Reduction Gear System - "Front Under Cover")
34.Install the rear under cover.(Refer to Motor and Reduction Gear System - "Rear Under Cover")
