Regular Kia maintenance fixes minor issues that develop over time, preventing them from worsening and creating more serious problems. As your Kia dealer, all our maintenance is performed by Kia-trained technicians using Kia-approved replacement parts. We want to tell you about a few examples of the types of maintenance we offer. Engine Diagnostics An engine diagnostic is used to identify issues affecting engine performance. Your Kia contains numerous sensors, each connected to an important component. The sensors provide information to your computer on system health and performance. They are very sensitive and can detect minute changes with their connected component and instantly inform your computer. The computer then triggers the check engine light. Your computer logs the problem with an error code. Our technicians connect an ODB II scanner to your computer, which lists all error codes. These codes are compared to the code list for your Kia model, and they help pinpoint the source of the problem. This saves time, as the technicians can immediately focus on the problem and repair it. Radiator Hose Replacement The radiator is the center of your Kia's cooling system. Engine heat is absorbed by fast-moving coolant and transferred to the radiator. Once inside the radiator, the hot coolant enters rows of thin metal tubes and is cooled by airflow through the grille. The radiator is connected to the cooling system by two thick, reinforced rubber hoses. The hoses are engineered to withstand high temperatures for sustained periods, as hot coolant can easily reach temperatures above 300 F. As time passes, the hoses will lose flexibility, resulting in cracking. The cracks will expand and deepen, eventually causing a leak. As coolant leaks, your engine temperature will rise, and it could overheat. We'll test the hoses and replace them if required. Cabin Air Filter Replacement The cabin air filter collects pollen, dirt, and other minute debris to prevent it from entering the cabin. It also filters any remaining contaminants from the air blown into your cabin by the AC. As time passes, the filter will become blocked, and you'll notice a musty smell in the cabin. If you or your passengers have allergies, they can be triggered by the unfiltered air in the cabin. This air filter usually needs replacement after 15,000 miles, but this can be reduced if you regularly drive in dusty conditions, as this causes the filter to clog faster. Our technicians can speedily fix this issue by replacing the dirty filter, and you'll notice an immediate improvement in air quality.

Modern Kias are safer than ever before. Below is a rundown of the excellent Kia safety features to be found as standard or optional in Kia's 2024 models. Forward Collision Warning With this feature, while driving, your car is constantly observing the road ahead, calculating the risk of collision with vehicles, pedestrians, and other potential obstacles. If a collision threat arises, such as the car ahead suddenly slowing, you'll receive a clear instant warning, both audibly and visually, helping you to react in time to avoid an accident. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Should you fail to respond immediately to a detected collision threat, your car will apply the emergency brakes with the appropriate amount of force to avoid or at least mitigate the impact. This computerized system, which never drops its guard, often has superior reflexes to a human driver, who might be distracted at the moment a threat arises. Lane Departure Warning Accidentally wandering into a neighboring lane is a potential hazard on long drives when you might become drowsy. By constantly monitoring the lane markers, your car knows if you start to drift to one side. You'll then receive a clear alert to ensure you steer back into a safer position. Vehicle Stability Management If you ever encounter a rough, bumpy, or wet patch of the road, your traction is kept firm by the vehicle's stability management system, which uses cameras to observe the road and automatically makes necessary adjustments to the steering and brakes. This reduces your risk of skidding. Tire Pressure Monitoring System The quality of a car's tires and their inflation is a huge factor in road safety. With the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, your car measures the pressure inside each tire and lets you know if the PSI inside any tire becomes too low or too high. You can then release or add air before the improper inflation causes a problem. Highway Driving Assist and Highway Driving Pilot These sophisticated features allow your car to drive automatically on stretches of the highway, accelerating and braking to keep a predetermined distance from the vehicle ahead while also steering itself to stay safely centered in the lane. If you wish to change lanes, you can simply use the indicator to signal your intention. Your car will then safely change lanes, all the while monitoring your blind spots and distances from other cars. Enjoy a test drive of your preferred Kia model today at Courtesy Kia in Altoona, PA. Our friendly staff will be happy to give you a tour of these and many more safety features; nothing beats seeing them in action on the road.
