Fuel RequirementsYour new Kia Vehicle must use only UNLEADED
FUEL having an octane rating of 87 or higher. Your
new Kia is designed to obtain maximum performance
with unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will minimize
exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.Gasoline Containing Ethanol and Methanol
Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also
known as grain alcohol), or gasoline and methanol
(also known as wood alchol). Do not use gasohol
containing more than 10% ethanol;do not use gasohol
containing any methanol whatsoever.
Methanol (also known as wood alcohol) is a mixture of
gasoline and methanol marketed as gasohol. Do not
use gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
Either of these fuels may cause driveability problems
and damage to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if driveability
problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability problems may not be
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty if they result
from the use of:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol,
2. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol, or
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasoholDriving Tips5-2
✽
NOTICE
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded
fuel is detrimental to the catalytic converter.
Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the
fuel tank other than what Kia has specified or the
equivalent. (Consult an Authorized Kia Dealer for
details.)
Leaded fuel will damage the engine control
system’s oxygen sensor and affect the emission
control system.
✽
NOTICE
Never use gasohol which contains methanol.
Discontinue use of any gashohol product which
impairs driveability.
