2011 Kia Rio Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Kia's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Kia Rio? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Rio towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Rio's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Kia Rio’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Kia, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Kia Rio transmission fluid leak? Yes. Kia Rio transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
