Introduction
Use of MTBE
Kia recommends avoiding fuels con-
taining 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 vapour lock or hard starting.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damagecomponents of the fuel system,engine control system and emissioncontrol system.
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use unleaded petrol which has an octane
rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 95/AKI (Anti Knock Index)
91 or higher (for Europe) or Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
87 or higher (except Europe).
For customers who do not use good quality petrols including fuel addi-
tives regularly, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, one bottle of additives
added to the fuel tank at every
15,000km (For Europe, Australia and
New Zealand)/10,000km (Except
Europe, Australia and New Zealand).
Additives are available from a profes-
sional workshop along with informa-
tion on how to use them. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner. Do not mix
other additives.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle LimitedWarranty may not cover damageto the fuel system and any per- formance problems that arecaused by the use of fuels con-taining methanol or fuels con- taining MTBE (Methyl TertiaryButyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle
in another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is available. Diesel engineDiesel 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.
Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
Below -5°C (23°F) ... 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 permit restarting.
CAUTION
Do not let any petrol or water enter 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.

When using an approvedportable fuel container, be sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refuelling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapours causing a fire.Once refuelling has begun,
contact with the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry
and store petrol.
Do not use mobile phones whilst refuelling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from mobile phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
When refuelling, always shutthe engine off. Sparks produced
by electrical components relat-ed to the engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling is complete, check tomake sure the filler cap and
filler door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle whilst at a gas station
especially during refuelling.
Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
If a fire breaks out during refu- elling, 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, Kia rec-ommends to contact an autho- rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Anytype of fuel spilled on paintedsurfaces may damage the paint.
After refuelling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securelyto prevent fuel spillage in theevent of an accident.

Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.
✽✽
NOTICE
 The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 9.
 The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which
will illuminate when the fuel tank
is nearly empty.
 On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the
low fuel warning light may come
on earlier than usual due to the
movement of fuel in the tank.

Fuel EconomyDistance To Empty (1)
The distance to empty is the esti-mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 999 km or 1~ 999 mi.
If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mi.), the trip computer will dis-
play “---” as distance to empty.
✽✽ NOTICE
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correctly.
 The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
 The trip computer may not regis- ter additional fuel if less than 6
litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel are
added to the vehicle.
 The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition 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: 0.0 ~ 99.9L/100km or MPG
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.
