Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the catalyt-
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot in the
exhaust gas.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning byengine control system and high
exhaust gas temperature caused by
normal/high driving condition burns
and removes the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven at repeated short distance
or driven at low speed for a long
time, the accumulated soot may not
be automatically removed because
of low exhaust gas temperature.
More than a certain amount of sootdeposited, the malfunction indicator
light ( ) illuminates. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60 km/h (37mph) or at more than second gear
with 1500 ~ 2500 engine rpm for a
certain time (for about 25 minutes). If the malfunction indicator light ( )
continues to be blinked or the warn-
ing massage “Check exhaust system”
illuminates in spite of the procedure,
please visit an authorized Kia dealer
and the check the DPF system.
If you continue to drive with the mal-
function indicator light blinking for a
long time, the DPF system can bedamaged and fuel consumption can
be worsen.
CAUTION -
Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel fuelfor diesel vehicle equipped withthe DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel includinghigh sulfur (more than 50 ppmsulfur) and unspecified addi-tives, it can cause the DPF sys-tem to be damaged and white smoke can be emitted.

Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine 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 thoserecommended could result in engine
damage.
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 when the vehicle is used on unpavedroads. Cleaning the plug anddipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering theengine and other mechanismsthat could be damaged.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.

: Middle East includes India, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan, Egypt and Iran.
* 2
: 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.
* 3
: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE
5W-30(ACEA A5). However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the prop-
er engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.

: It is only for extreme cold area and to be restricted by driving condition and area.
(Especially, not recommended for sustained high loaded and high speed operation.)
