FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Gasoline engine (unleaded)
Your new Kia vehicle is designed to
use only unleaded fuel having an
Octane Rating of RON (ResearchOctane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) 87 or higher.
Your new Kia is designed to obtain
maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
✽✽ NOTICE
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 thanwhat Kia has specified. (Consult an
Authorized Kia Dealer for details.)
Gasoline Engine (Leaded)
In countries using LEADED FUEL,
your new Kia vehicle must use
LEADED FUEL. Your new Kia Vehicleis designed to correspond to LEAD-
ED FUEL specifically. Please check
your vehicle whether your vehiclecan use LEADED FUEL or not. Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-hol), and gasoline or gasohol con-
taining methanol (also known as
wood alcohol) are being marketedalong with or instead of leaded or
unleaded gasoline. Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use
gasoline or gasohol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-age to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur.

Maintenance
1 23456789
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extreme-ly dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the usualrecommended intervals. (Refer to“Maintenance under severe usage conditions” in this section.)
CAUTION
Do not drive with the air clean- er removed; this will result inexcessive engine wear.
When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust ordirt does not enter the airintake, or damage may result.
Use a KIA genuine part. Use of non-genuine part could dam-age the air flow sensor or tur- bocharger.
