Introduction
Gasoline engine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you to use unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of
RON (Research Octane Number) 95
/ AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.
You may use unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of RON 91~94 / AKI
87~90 but it may result in slight per-
formance reduction of the vehicle.
(Do not use methanol blended fuels.)
Except Europe
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. (Do not
use methanol blended fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded gasoline.
When you are going to use leaded
gasoline, we recommend that you
ask an authorized Kia dealer
whether leaded gasoline in your
vehicle is available or not. Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is
same with unleaded one.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the noz- zle automatically shuts off when refueling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the eventof an accident.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimentalto the catalytic converter and will damage the engine controlsystem’s oxygen sensor andaffect emission control.
Never add any fuel systemcleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been speci-fied. (We recommend that youconsult an authorized Kia dealer for details.)

Features of your vehicle
Immobilizer system (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an electronic engine immobilizer sys-
tem to reduce the risk of unautho-
rized vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON
or Whenever the engine start/stop
button is changed to the ON position,
it checks and determines and verifies
if the ignition key is valid or not.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.WARNING
We recommend that you use
parts for replacement from an
authorized Kia dealer. If an
aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return
to ON after START. If this hap-
pens, the starter will continue to
operate causing damage to the
starter motor and possible fire
due to excessive current in thewiring.

key.
The functions of the buttons on a
smart key are similar to the remote
keyless entry. (Refer to the “Remote
keyless entry” in this chapter.)Smart key operation
To remove the mechanical key, press
and hold the release button (1) and
remove the mechanical key (2).
To reinstall the mechanical key, put
the key into the hole and push it until
a click sound is heard.
Smart key functions
Carrying the smart key, you may lock
and unlock the vehicle doors (and
tailgate). Also, you may start the
engine. Refer to the following, for
more details.
Locking
Pressing the button of the front out- side door handles with all doors (and
tailgate) closed and any door
unlocked, locks all the doors (and tail-
gate). The hazard warning lights will
blink once to indicate that all doors
(and tailgate) are locked. The button
will only operate when the smart keyis within 0.7 ~ 1m (28 ~ 39.3 in) from
the outside door handle. If you want
to make sure that a door has locked
or not, you should check the door
lock button inside the vehicle or pull
the outside door handle.

Features of your vehicle
(Continued)
DO NOT use matches or alighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station
especially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
If a fire breaks out during refu- eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.CAUTION
Make sure to refuel your vehi-
cle according to the "Fuelrequirements" suggested in chapter 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, please make surethat you use parts designed forreplacement in your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunctionof the fuel system or emission control system. For moredetailed information, we rec-ommend that you contact an authorized Kia dealer.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Anytype of fuel spilled on paintedsurfaces may damage the paint.
After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securelyto prevent fuel spillage in theevent of an accident.
(Continued)
Once refueling has begun,
contact with the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure thefiller cap and filler door are
securely closed, before start-
ing the engine.

Features of your vehicle
Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the
vehicle. If the engine is off or if the
power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.✽✽NOTICE
If the power steering drive belt
breaks or if the power steering
pump malfunctions, the steering
effort will greatly increase.
✽
✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods o utside in cold weather (below
-10°C(14°F)), the power steering may
require increased effort when the
engine is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing the accel-
erator until the RPM reaches 1,500
rpm then release or let the engine idle
for two or three minutes to warm up
the fluid.
Tilt steering
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the
steering wheel before you drive. You
can also raise it to give your legs
more room when you exit and enter
the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to
the extreme right or left for morethan 5 seconds with the engine running. Holding the steeringwheel for more than 5 secondsin either position may cause damage to the power steeringpump.
WARNING
Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving.
You may lose steering control
and cause severe personal
injury, death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is lockedin position.
