Hybrid vehicles can vary — a lot. Some are called "hybrids" because they use battery power to propel or help propel the vehicle, some hybrids may or may not plug-in to charge, and some may or may not have regenerative braking. Some hybrids even come equipped with a conventional 12-volt battery and a high-voltage battery. With so many differences between hybrid cars, trucks, and SUVs, your 2017 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 low voltage and conventional services for all hybrid vehicles, including Kia Optimas.

Certain stores also provide high voltage services. A high voltage service is one that involves 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 before scheduling an appointment to ensure your closest location offers high voltage services. Some of these high voltage vehicle services might include:

Hybrid high voltage battery cooling system inspections: Your technician will closely examine your Kia Optima's battery filter (if applicable), and then clean its ducts. (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 visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your Kia Optima and check to make sure no high voltage energy is transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement.

Isolation test: For this test, a technician uses a special tool to see if any high voltage parts 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 electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), power inverter, and/or regenerative braking in your 2017 Kia Optima.
