2014 Kia Optima - OEM Factory Repair Manual
About the Kia Optima
We list the Optima across three generations. The MG (2006 to 2010) used 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 2.7-liter V6 engines. The TF (2011 to 2015) brought the 2.4 GDI, the 2.0-liter turbo and the first Optima Hybrid. The JF (2016 to 2020) added a 1.6 turbo with a 7-speed dual-clutch, and a plug-in hybrid.

About the 2014 Kia Optima
Model year 2014 is part of the third-generation Optima (TF) (2011–2015). Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2014 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2014 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “E”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 12 years old, a 2014 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
