It can. You should leave the engine running while you add water to the radiator. If you add water with the engine turned off, but while the engine is overheated, you might damage the engine or the radiator.
For most drivers, Overdrive should be used full time. Its designed to reduce the amount of effort the engine needs to maintain speed. Whenever a lot of shifting is taking place, its recommended to only used Drive. Roads with a lot of hills, curves, or heavy traffic areas should not use overdrive to prevent damage to the transmission. Also, disengage overdrive whenever towing. There is not enough torque generated by the engine to tow while in overdrive. Towing while overdrive is engaged can cause damage to the engine and transmission.
You need to find out what the check engine light came on for. Have the computer scanned for codes. When certain errors occur that could damage the engine, sometimes the computer will just shut down the engine to prevent damage. That may be what happened to you.
The timing belts should be changed between 60k-90k miles. If it slips or comes apart while the engine is running it will blow your engine. I would change it every 60k to prevent this kind of damage. It's not that hard to do. Since the KIA has a non-interference engine, It probably won't blow your engine but you should go on and replace it prior to getting stranded!
Older PGA processors should be placed on a soft piece of foam to prevent the pins from being bent. Newer LGA processors do not have pins, so this is unnecessary, but you should still place it on a clean non-metallic surface to prevent damage.
While it doesn't do any immediate damage, you should not run the engine. It needs drained out before trying to operate the vehicle.
This vehicle has a timing belt, not a chain. It is an interference engine so chage it at 50k miles or every 5 years to prevent damage if the belt breaks while in operation.
it would damage the spark plugs and smoke a lot, but the engine in general should be ok, would have to change spark plugs after running tank empty or if having trouble starting.
