Kia Optima: Checking the Washer Fluid Level
The reservoir is translucent so that you can check the level with a quick visual inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not available. In cold climates, use washer solvent with antifreeze to prevent freezing.
WARNING
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as door hinges, hood hinges, and locks, should be lubricated each time the engine oil is changed. Use a non-freezing lubricant on locks during cold weather.
Make sure the engine hood secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
