2017 KIA RIO fuel type

Introduction
41
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel comprised
of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent
gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively
for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is
not compatible with your vehicle. Use of
“E85” may result in poor engine perform-
ance and damage to your vehicle's
engine and fuel system. Kia recommends
that customers do not use fuel with an
ethanol content exceeding 15 percent.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
does not cover damage to the fuel system
or any performance problems caused by
the use of “E85” fuel.
Other fuels
Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si),
MMT (Manganese, Mn), Ferrocene (Fe),
and Other metalic additives, may cause
vehicle and engine damage or cause
misfiring, poor acceleration, engine
stalling, catalyst melting, clogging,
abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduction,
etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or perform-
ance problem caused by the use of these
fuels may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful man-
ganese-based fuel additives such as MMT
(Methylcyclopentadi-enyl Manganese
Tricarbonyl).
Kia does not recommend the use of
gasoline containing MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and affect your emission con-
trol system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the
cluster may come on.

Introduction
Use of MTBE
Kia recommends avoiding fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) in your vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may
not cover damage to the fuel system and
any performance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels containing
methanol or fuels containing MTBE
(Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system, engine control system
and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use good qual-
ity gasolines treated with detergent addi-
tives such as TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline, which help prevent deposit for-
mation in the engine. These gasolines
will help the engine run cleaner and
enhance performance of the Emission
Control System. For more information on
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please
go to the website (www
.toptiergas.com).
For customers who do not use TOP Tier
Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have
problems starting or the engine does not
run smoothly, additives that you can buy
separately may be added to the gasoline. If
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not avail-
able, one bottle of additive added to the fuel
tank at every 12,000 km or every engine oil
change is recommended. Additives are
available from your authorized Kia dealer
along with information on how to use them.
Do not mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regarding reg- istration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is avail- able. No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergen- cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.

Make sure to refuel your vehicle accord-
ing to the "Fuel requirements" suggested
in section 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement,
use only a genuine Kia cap or the equiv-
alent specified for your vehicle. An incor-
rect fuel filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system or emis-
sion control system.
CAUTION- Exterior paint
Do not spill fuel on the exterior sur-
faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuelspilled on painted surfaces maydamage the paint.
WARNING - Refueling& Vehicle fires
When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the filler
cap and filler door are securely
closed, before starting the engine.
WARNING - Smoking
DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a
gas station especially during refu-
eling. Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.

Odometer
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
You will also find the odometer useful to
determine when periodic maintenance
should be performed.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
It is forbidden to alter the odometer of
all vehicles with the intent to change the
mileage registered on the odometer. The
alteration may void your warranty cov-
erage.WARNING- Fuel gauge
Stop and obtain additional fuel as
soon as possible after the warning
light comes on or when the gauge
indicator comes close to the E level.
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
CAUTION- Low fuel
Avoid driving with extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel couldcause the engine to misfire, damag-ing the catalytic converter.OUB041050C

Features of your vehicle
Trip computer (Tripmeter) (if equipped)
The trip computer is a microcomputer-
controlled driver information system that
displays information related to driving,
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position. All stored driving information
(except distance to empty and instant
fuel consumption) will reset if the battery
is disconnected.

Tripmeter
TRIP A: Tripmeter A
TRIP B: Tripmeter B
This mode indicates the distance of indi-
vidual trips selected since the last trip-
meter reset.
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
999.9 km (0.0 to 999.9 miles).
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the tripmeter (TRIP A or
TRIP B) is being displayed, clears the
tripmeter to zero (0.0). Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated dis-
tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 1 km (1
miles), “---” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 1 to
999 km (1 to 990 miles). If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupt-
ed, the “Distance to empty” function
may not operate correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6
gallons) of fuel are added to the vehi-
cle.
The fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary significantly
based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
The distance to empty value is an esti- mate of the available driving distance.
This value may differ from the actual
driving distance available.

Features of your vehicle
Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-
culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive more
than 50 m (0.03 mile).
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the average fuel consump-
tion is displayed, clears the average fuel
consumption to zero (---).
If the vehicle speed exceeds 1 km/h (0.6
MPH) after refueled more than 6 l, the
average fuel consumption will be cleared
to zero (---).Instant fuel consumption
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption during the last few sec-
onds.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
You must drive more than 10 km/h (6
MPH) (type A) or 5 km/h (3 MPH) (type
B) for this mode to calculate the instant
fuel consumption.
Average speed
This mode calculates the average speed
of the vehicle since the last average
speed reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
average speed keeps going while the
engine is running.
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the average speed is dis-
played, clears the average speed to zero
(---).
