What does the coolant light on my Kia dashboard mean?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

When Does My 2013 Kia Forte Koup Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Kia Forte Koup radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2013 Kia Forte Koup is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come.
