Kia Optima Hybrid Thermostat

Kia Optima Hybrid Thermostat

The Thermostat is part of the Kia Optima hybrid cooling system. By controlling the flow of coolant in the engine, it helps to regulate the engine’s operating temperature. The main function of the Kia Optima Hybrid Thermostat is to regulate the flow of coolant through the engine based on its temperature.

When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed, preventing coolant from circulating in the radiator. This causes the engine to heat up quickly.

When the engine reaches optimum operating temperature, the thermostat opens and allows coolant to flow through the radiator to cool the engine. The Kia Optima Hybrid Thermostat plays an important role in maintaining the engine operating temperature in the optimal range. This helps ensure efficient combustion, proper lubrication and optimal fuel consumption.
