Introduction
Petrol containing alcohol andmethanol
Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and ethanol
(also known as grain alcohol), and petrolor gasohol containing methanol (also
known as wood alcohol) are being mar-
keted along with or instead of leaded orunleaded petrol. Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-lems and damage to the fuel system,engine control system and emission con-trol system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur-
er’s warranty if they result from the useof:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol.
2. Petrol or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
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 damage
or cause plugging, misfiring, poor accel-
eration, 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 perfor-
mance problem caused by the use of
these fuels may not be covered by your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and willdamage the engine control sys-tem’s oxygen sensor and affect emission control.
Never add any fuel system cleaningagents to the fuel tank other thanwhat has been specified. We recom-mend that the system be checked
by an authorised Kia dealer.
WARNING
 Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refuelling.
 Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-dent.
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol product which impairs dri-vability.

Use of MTBE
Kia recommends avoiding fuels contain-
ing 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.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components ofthe fuel system, engine control systemand emission control system.
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use unleaded
petrol which has an octane rating of RON(Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher (for
Europe) or Octane Rating of RON(Research Octane Number) 91 / AKI
(Anti- Knock Index) 87 or higher (exceptEurope).
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols including fuel additives
regularly, and have problems starting or
the engine does not run smoothly, one
bottle of additives added to the fuel tank
at every 15,000km (for Europe)/ 5,000km
(except Europe). Additives are available
from your authorised Kia dealer along
with information on how to use them. Do
not mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:
 Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
 Determine that acceptable fuel is avail- able. Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable
standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,
heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi-
tives, as this will increase wear andcause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels
and / or fuel additives will result in a limi-
tation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in
your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel
properly according to the following tem-
perature conditions.
 Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
 Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very care-
fully : If the engine stops through fuel fail-
ure, the circuits must be completely
purged to permit restarting.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuelsystem and any performance prob-
lems that are caused by the use of fuels containing methanol or fuelscontaining MTBE (Methyl TertiaryButyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

Introduction
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in
your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214
or equivalent specifications. (EN stands
for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-
els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding7% with biodiesel will cause increased
wear or damage to the engine and fuel
system. Repair or replacement of worn ordamaged components due to the use of
non approved fuels will not be covered by
the manufactures warranty.No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
 Do not race the engine.
 Whilst driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
 Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
 Avoid hard stops, except in emergen-
cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
 Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.CAUTION
Do not let any petrol or water enter
the tank. This would make it neces-
sary to drain it out and to bleed thelines to avoid jamming the injectionpump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel fordiesel vehicle equipped with theDPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and
unspecified additives, it can causethe DPF system to be damaged andwhite smoke can be emitted.
CAUTION
 Never use any fuel, whether diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,that fails to meet the latest petro-leum industry specification.
 Never use any fuel additives or treatments that are not recom-mended or approved by the vehi- cle manufacturer.
