Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

What are the signs a 2019 Kia Soul EV needs a coolant service?Signs include a higher-than-usual temperature indication, a sweet smell, a puddle, or coolant that looks rusty, cloudy, or low.

These symptoms can reflect a coolant-condition issue or a leak in a cooling circuit. Do not open or check a hot, pressurized system; inspection should be done when the vehicle is cold. A service visit helps identify the condition before deciding on the repair.

  • Temperature behavior that differs from normal
  • Sweet odor or fluid beneath the vehicle
  • Low, cloudy, or rusty-looking coolant
What is included in a coolant service on a 2019 Kia Soul EV?It includes checking coolant condition, pressure testing the cooling circuits for leaks, and inspecting related components.

For this electric Kia, the work focuses on the circuits that regulate the battery and drive components. The technician inspects hoses, the cap, the radiator area, and the water-pump area where applicable. Any coolant work uses the type and concentration specified by the manufacturer.

  • Cooling-circuit condition testing
  • Pressure testing for leaks
  • Inspection of related cooling hardware
How often should the coolant in a 2019 Kia Soul EV be changed?The manufacturer publishes a maintenance schedule for this vehicle, and that schedule settles when coolant service is due.

A service visit can also test coolant condition between scheduled points. Testing is useful when symptoms appear or the vehicle has signs of a leak. Because the system may be hot and pressurized after operation, checking it should be done cold by an appropriately equipped service professional.

  • Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule
  • Test coolant condition between scheduled points
  • Book an inspection when symptoms appear
What kind of coolant does a 2019 Kia Soul EV use?The manufacturer specifies the coolant type for this vehicle, and different coolants should not be treated as interchangeable.

Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle or whether it is suitable. The correct choice depends on the manufacturer’s specification for the vehicle and its cooling circuits. Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can evaluate the condition and identify the appropriate service requirement.

  • Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
  • Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
  • Do not use colour alone to identify coolant
Can I just top off the coolant in a 2019 Kia Soul EV?Topping off restores the level but does not restore the coolant’s depleted additive package.

If the level keeps dropping, the vehicle has a leak rather than normal coolant consumption. The cooling system can be hot and pressurized after running, so do not open it until it is cold. Book an inspection to determine whether the condition calls for service, a leak repair, or further testing.

  • Level correction does not renew coolant protection
  • A falling level points to a possible leak
  • Have the system checked when cold
