Additional Notes
- The Kia Cerato / Forte TD (EU) carries a power steering fluid capacity of 0.9 liter across all listed configurations, which is a typical reservoir volume for a hydraulic rack-and-pinion system in a compact sedan.
- The 0.9 liter figure represents the total system capacity, meaning the amount of fluid the power steering reservoir and associated lines hold when fully serviced.
- Both the 1.6 and 2.0 engine variants share an identical 0.9 liter capacity, indicating no variation in the hydraulic steering system volume between the two engine displacements.
- The specified service action for all four configurations is a fluid level check rather than a full fluid replacement, performed at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
- The 15,000 km or 12-month check interval applies under normal use conditions across the entire model range covered, spanning 2009-2013.
- The specifications for the 1.6 engine show no change in capacity or check interval between the 2009-2010 and 2011-2013 production periods, reflecting a consistent hydraulic steering setup across the model's lifecycle.
- The same continuity applies to the 2.0 engine, where the 2009-2010 and 2011-2013 variants carry identical 0.9 liter capacity and 15,000 km / 12-month check interval values.
