RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality.
The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute
to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements
are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*
3If the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.

Recommended SAE viscosity
numberEngine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather.Using oils of any viscosity other than
those recommended could result in
engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle
will be operated in before the next oil
change. Proceed to select the rec-
ommended oil viscosity from the
chart.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drainplug, or dipstick before check-ing or draining any lubricant.This is especially important industy or sandy areas and whenthe vehicle is used on unpavedroads. Cleaning the plug anddipstick areas will prevent dirtand grit from entering theengine and other mechanismsthat could be damaged.

Specifications & Consumer information
For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a
viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API SM / ILSAC GF-4). However, if the
engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil
using the engine oil viscosity chart.

performance for normal driving.
The tire label located on the driver's
side center pillar gives the tire pres-
sures recommended for your vehicle.The engine number is stamped on
the engine block as shown in the

Kia Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (HEV)
uses a gasoline engine and an
electric motor for power. The elec-
tric motor is powered by a 270V
high voltage HEV battery.
The HEV computer decides when
to use the engine and when to use
electric motor, according to driv-
ing conditions. At times, both are
used simultaneously.
By turning off the engine under
certain conditions and using the
electric motor alone, the HEV sys-
tem saves fuel.
When the HEV battery reaches a
low state of charge, the engine will
cycle on and off to recharge the
battery. Charging also occurs
when decelerating by using
regenerative braking.Hybrid System Display
Many of the displays provide infor-
mation about the hybrid system,
such as the ECO Level and ECO
Score.
The ECO Level displays inform the
driver of the vehicle's fuel efficiency.
If the vehicle is driven economically,
the ECO Level rises. When the vehi-
cle is driven in EV mode, there is a
reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions.
The Total ECO Score display indi-
cates the number of times the ECO
Level has reached its maximum.ECO Level display
When the vehicle is started, the ECO
Level display will indicate level 4. If
you drive economically, the ECO
Level will increase. However, if you
do not drive economically, the ECO
Level will decrease.

State of charge
The state of charge (SOC) gauge
indicates the hybrid battery's charge
level. If the SOC is near Low (L)
level, the vehicle automatically oper-
ates the engine to charge the battery.
The gauge will rarely approach the
High (H) level. This is normal and is
not an indication of a malfunction.
However, if the service indicator and
MIL(Malfunction indicator lamp) turn
on when the State of Charge(SOC)
is near L, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized Kia dealer immedi-
ately.

CAUTION- Extendedcranking
Do not crank the engine for aprolonged period of time with-out the engine starting. Thiscould result in damage to theHEV battery and becomingtotally discharged.
