Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
3.8 engine
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an octane
number (R+M)/2) of 87 (Research
Octane Number 91) or higher.(Do
not use methanol blended fuels)
5.0 engine
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an octane
number ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research
Octane Number 91) or higher.(Do
not use methanol blended fuels)
For improved vehicle performance,
premium unleaded fuel with an
octane number ((R+M)/2) of 91
(Research Octane Number 96) or
higher is recommended.
Never add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than what
has been specified. (Consult an
authorized K900 Kia dealer for details.)Tighten the cap until it clicks once.
otherwise the Check Engine
light 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 efficiency and could lower
your MPG results. Methanol may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine con-
trol system and emission control sys-
tem. Discontinue using gasohol of
anykind if drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or drivability prob-
lems may not be covered by the
manufacturer's warranty if they result
from the use of:
1.Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
2.Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

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.

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. Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close to
your head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a cushion
that holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.Forward and backward adjustment
The headrest may be adjusted for-
ward or rearward by pulling the lower
part of the headrest forward or rear-
ward to the desired detent in the
direction of the arrow. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports
the head and neck.
✽NOTICE
If you recline the seatback towards
the front with the headrest and seat
cushion raised, the headrest may
come in contact with the sunvisor or
other parts of the vehicle.
OKH033010N
Headrest removal/adjust-
ment
Do not operate the vehicle
with the headrests removed.
Headrests help provide criti-
cal neck and head support in
a crash.
Do not adjust the headrest height while the vehicle is in
motion. Driver may lose con-
trol of the vehicle.
WARNING
OYFH034205
