FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Gasoline engine

Unleaded

For Europe
For the optimal vehicle perýormance,

we recommend you to use unleaded

þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RON

(Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI

(Antiknock Index) 91 or hiþher.

You may use unleaded þasoline with an

octane ratinþ oý RON 91~94 / AKI 87~90

but it may result in sliþht perýormance

reduction oý the vehicle. (Do not use

methanol blended ýuels.)

Except Europe
Your new Kia vehicle is desiþned to use

only unleaded ýuel havinþ an Octane

Ratinþ oý RON (Research Octane Num‐

ber) 91 / AKI (Antiknock Index) 87 or

hiþher. (Do not use methanol blended

ýuels.)

Your new vehicle is desiþned to obtain

maximum perýormance with UNLEA‐

DED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust

emissions and spark pluþ ýoulinþ.

CAUTION

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use

of leaded fuel is detrimental to the

catalytic converter and will damage

the engine control system’s oxygen

sensor and affect emission control.

Never add any fuel system cleaning

agents to the fuel tank other than

what has been specified. (Kia recom‐

mends to consult an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner for details.)

WARNING

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle

automatically shuts off when re‐

fueling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an acci‐

dent.

Leaded (if equipped)

For some countries, your vehicle is de‐

siþned to use leaded þasoline. When

you are þoinþ to use leaded þasoline,

Kia recommends to visit an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner and ask

whether leaded þasoline in your vehicle

is available or not.

Octane Ratinþ oý leaded þasoline is

same with unleaded one.

Gasoline containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture oý þasoline and

ethanol (also known as þrain alcohol),

and þasoline or þasohol containinþ

methanol (also known as wood alcohol)

are beinþ marketed alonþ with or in‐

stead oý leaded or unleaded þasoline.

Do not use þasohol containinþ more

than 10% ethanol, and do not use þas‐

oline or þasohol containinþ any metha‐

nol. Either oý these ýuels may cause

drivability problems and damaþe to the

ýuel system, enþine control system and

emission control system.

Discontinue usinþ þasohol oý any kind iý

drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damaþe or drivability problems

may not be covered by the manuýac‐

turer s warranty iý they result ýrom the

use oý:

-

Silicone (Si) contained ýuel,

-

MMT (Manþanese, Mn) contained

ýuel,

-

Ferrocene (Fe) contained ýuel, and

-

Other metalic additives contained

ýuels, may cause vehicle and enþine

damaþe or cause pluþþinþ, misýirinþ,

poor acceleration, enþine stallinþ,

catalyst meltinþ, abnormal corrosion,

liýe cycle reduction, etc.

Also, the Malýunction Indicator Lamp

(MIL) may illuminate.

NOTICE

inþ MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)

over 15.0% vol. (Oxyþen Content 2.7%

weiþht) in your vehicle.

Fuel containinþ MTBE over 15.0% vol.

(Oxyþen Content 2.7% weiþht) may re‐

duce vehicle perýormance and produce

vapor lock or hard startinþ.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty

may not cover damage to the fuel

system and any performance prob‐

lems that are caused by the use of

fuels containing methanol or fuels

containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen
