Introduction

Petrol engine

Your new Kia vehicle is designed to

use only unleaded fuel having an

Octane Rating of RON (Research

Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-

Knock Index) 87 or higher. (Do not

use methanol blended fuels.)

Your new vehicle is designed to

obtain maximum performance with

UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-

imise exhaust emissions and spark

plug fouling.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

• Do not "top off" after the noz-

zle automatically shuts off

when refuelling.

• Always check that the fuel cap

is installed securely to pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event

of an accident.

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 speci-

fied. (Kia recommends to con-

sult an authorised Kia

dealer/service partner for

details.)

Vehicle damage or drivability prob-

lems may not be covered by the

manufacturer’s warranty if they result

from the use of:

1. Gasohol containing more than

10% ethanol.

2. Petrol or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which con-

tains methanol. Discontinue use

of any gasohol product which

impairs drivability.

Introduction

Other fuels

Using fuels such as

- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,

- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained

fuel,

- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and

-Other metalic additives contained

fuels,

may cause vehicle and engine dam-

age or cause plugging, misfiring,

poor acceleration, engine stalling,

catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion,

life cycle reduction, etc.

Also, the Malfunction Indicator

Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.

NOTICE

Damage to the fuel system or per-

formance problem caused by the use

of these fuels may not be covered by

your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Do not use methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood

alcohol) should not be used in your

vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce

vehicle performance and damage

components of the fuel system,

engine control system and emission

control system.

Use of MTBE

Kia recommends avoiding fuels con-

taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl

Ether) over 15.0% vol.(Oxygen

Content 2.7% weight) in your vehicle.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%

vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)

may reduce vehicle performance and

produce vapour lock or hard starting.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover damage

to the fuel system and any per-

formance problems that are

caused by the use of fuels con-

taining methanol or fuels con-

taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

Introduction

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle

in another country, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding

registration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is

available.

Watch the fuel level in the tank very

carefully : If the engine stops through

fuel failure, the circuits must be com-

pletely purged to restart.

CAUTION

Do not let any petrol or water

enter the tank. This would make

it necessary to drain it out and

to bleed the lines to avoid jam-

ming the injection pump and

damaging the engine.
