Hybrid vehicles can vary — a lot. Some are named "hybrids" because they rely on battery power to propel or assist in propelling the vehicle. A hybrid vehicle might plug-in to charge, and some hybrids have regenerative braking. And did you know? Some hybrid cars come with a traditional 12-volt battery along with a high-voltage battery. With so many differences between hybrid cars, trucks, and SUVs, your 2016 Kia Optima needs a professional who knows hybrids. We'll help your hybrid run newer, longer. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all hybrid makes and models, including your 2016 Kia Optima.

Select locations also provide high voltage services. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the Kia's high voltage safety/service disconnect plug/switch, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call ahead before making an appointment to confirm the high voltage services at your closest location. Some of these high voltage vehicle services may include:

Hybrid vehicle diagnostic: Once we understand the reported issues, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 2016 Kia Optima in to identify the root cause. a diagnostic is performed to get to the bottom of the trouble with your 2016 Kia Optima. With the information gathered, your technician can further diagnose any hybrid car problems you're having and determine what tests (if any) are needed. We won't make any repairs until you give us the thumbs up.

Hybrid high voltage battery cooling system inspections: The technician will examine your Optima's battery filter (if applicable) and clean up its ducts and other pieces. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries.  Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection:  Your technician will look closely at the outside connectors and cable jackets on your 2016 Optima and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement.

Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace hybrid electric battery: Is the high voltage battery inside your Kia Optima failing or weak? We can replace it quickly.

Health check for power electronic systems: We'll check the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your 2016 Kia Optima.
