Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only
on commercially available diesel fuelthat complies with EN 590 or compa-
rable standard. (EN stands for
"European Norm"). Do not use
marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or
non-approved fuel additives, as this
will increase wear and cause dam-age to the engine and fuel system.
The use of non-approved fuels and /
or fuel additives will result in a limita-
tion of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is
used in your vehicle. If two types of
diesel fuel are available, use summer
or winter fuel properly according to
the following temperature conditions.
Summer type
diesel fuel.
Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com-
pletely purged to restart.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, com-
monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be
used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets
EN 14214 or equivalent specifications.
(EN stands for "European Norm"). The
use of biofuels exceeding 7% made
from rapeseed methyl ester (RME),
fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), veg-
etable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or
mixing diesel exceeding 7% with
biodiesel will cause increased wear ordamage to the engine and fuel sys-
tem. Repair or replacement of worn ordamaged components due to the use
of non approved fuels will not be cov-
ered by the manufactures warranty.
CAUTION
Never use any fuel, whether diesel or B7 biodiesel or oth-erwise, that fails to meet the latest petroleum industryspecification.
Never use any fuel additives or treatments that are not rec-ommended or approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or waterenter the tank. This would makeit necessary to drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid jam-ming the injection pump anddamaging the engine.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel fuelfor diesel vehicle equipped with the 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 whitesmoke can be emitted.

Safety features of your vehicle
Additional safety precautions Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in theirseats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor.
Passengers should not move
out of or change seats while the
vehicle is moving. A passenger
who is not wearing a seat belt dur-
ing a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
Each seat belt is designed torestrain one occupant. If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriouslyinjured or killed in a collision.
Do not use any accessories onseat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo-sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
Passengers should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your lap or in your mouth can result
in injuries if an air bag inflates.
Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in theirseats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants
are too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front or side air bag covers
could interfere with the proper
operation of the air bags.
Do not modify the front seats.Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the supplemental restraint systemsensing components or side air
bags.(Continued)
If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
An authorized Kia dealer
knows these precautions and
can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk
of personal injury.
If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water
on flooring, you shouldn't try
to start the engine; we recom-
mend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.

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.
