Introduction
Your new Kia vehicle is designed to
use only unleaded fuel having a
pump octane number ((R+M)/2) of
87 (Research Octane Number 91) or
higher. (Do not use methanol blend-
ed fuels)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Never add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than
what has been specified. (Consult an
authorized Kia Premium dealer for
details.)Tighten the cap until it clicks one
time, otherwise the fuel cap open
warning indicator light (or LCD
display) will illuminate.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 marketed
along with or instead of leaded or
unleaded gasoline.
Pursuant to EPA regulations, ethanol
may be used in your vehicle. Do not
use gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, and do not use gaso-
line or gasohol containing any
methanol.
Ethanol provides less energy than
gasoline and it attracts water, and it
is thus likely to reduce your fuel effi-
ciency and could lower your MPG
results. Methanol may cause drivabil-
ity problems and damage to the fuel
system, engine control system and
emission control system.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING - Refueling
• Do not "top off" after the noz- zle automatically shuts off.
Attempts to force more fuel
into the tank can cause fuel
overflow onto you and the
ground causing a risk of fire.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage, especially
in the event of an accident.

Recalling positions from memory
1. The shift lever should be in P(Park) when :
- The ignition switch is in ON or engine is running.
- It is less than 20 minutes after the driver's door is opened with the
ignition switch in OFF or ACC.
- It is less than 30 seconds after the driver's door is closed with
the ignition switch in OFF or
ACC.
2. To recall the position in memory, press the desired memory button
(1 or 2). The system will beep
once, then the driver seat, outside
rearview mirror and steering
wheel will automatically adjust to
the stored positions.
3. "Driver 1 (or 2) set is changed" will appear on the instrument cluster
LCD display. Adjusting the control switch for the
driver seat while the system is recall-
ing the stored position will cause the
movement to stop and move in the
direction that the control switch is
moved.
Use caution when recalling adjust-
ment memory while sitting in the
vehicle. Push the seat position con-
trol knob to the desired position
immediately if the seat moves too far
in any direction.
Easy access function
With the shift lever in the P position,
the system will move the driver's seat
automatically as follows:
It will move the driver’s seat rear-
ward when the engine start/stop
button is turned to the OFF position.
It will move the driver’s seat forward when the engine start/stop button is
turned to the ACC or START posi-
tion.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to "User settings" in
chapter 4.
Headrest (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head.
