Introduction
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 15 percent ethanol, and do not
use gasoline 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 prob-
lems and damage to the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind 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.
3. Gasohol containing more than 15
percent ethanol."E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-
prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15
percent gasoline, and is manufac-
tured exclusively for use in Flexible
Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is not compati-
ble with your vehicle. Use of “E85”
may result in poor engine perform-
ance and damage to your vehicle's
engine and fuel system. Kia recom-
mends that customers do not use
fuel with an ethanol content exceed-
ing 15 percent.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
does not cover damage to the fuel sys-
tem or any performance problems
caused by the use of “E85” fuel.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Never use any fuel containing
methanol. Discontinue use of any
methanol containing product which
may inhibit proper drivability.
WARNING - 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.

Features of your vehicle
The range may differ from the actu-al driving distance as it is an esti-
mate of the available driving dis-
tance.
The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters
(1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
The fuel economy and range may vary significantly based on driving
conditions, driving habits, and con-
dition of the vehicle.Average Fuel Economy (2)
The average fuel economy is calcu-lated by the total driving distance
and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
- Fuel economy range : 1 ~ 99.9L/100km or MPG
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.
Manual reset
To reset average fuel economy manu-
ally, press the OK button (reset) on
the steering wheel for more than 1
second when the average fuel econ-
omy is displayed. Automatic reset
To make the average fuel economy
reset automatically whenever refuel-
ing, select the “Auto Reset” mode in
User Setting menu of the LCD display
(Refer to “LCD Display”).
OFF - You may set to default manu-
ally by using the trip switch reset but-
ton.
When driving - The vehicle will auto- matically set to default once 4 hours
pass after the Ignition is in OFF.
When refueling - After refueling more than 6 liters and driving over
1km/h, the vehicle will reset to
default automatically.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The average fuel economy is not dis-
played for more accurate calculation
if the vehicle does not drive more
than 10 seconds or 50 meters (0.03
miles) since the ignition switch or
Engine Start/Stop button is turned
to ON.

economy during the last few sec-
onds when the vehicle speed is
more than 10 km/h (6.2 MPH).
- Fuel economy range:
0 ~ 30 L/100km or 0 ~ 50 MPG
Trip A/B
Tripmeter (1)
The tripmeter is the total driving dis- tance since the last tripmeter reset.
- Distance range: 0.0 ~ 9999.9 km ormi.
To reset the tripmeter, press the OK
button (reset) on the steering wheel
for more than 1 second when the

The average vehicle speed is cal- culated by the total driving dis-
tance and driving time since the
last average vehicle speed reset.
- Speed range :
0~260 km/h or 0~160 MPH
To reset the average vehicle speed,
press the OK button (reset) on the
