It is applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, t must be replaced more frequently. Kia recommends "every 7,500km inspection,
every 15,000km replacement". If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., replace the fuel filter imme-
diately regardless of maintenance schedule and consult a professional workshop for
more details. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
*6Fuel additives (Petrol)
Kia recommends that you use unleaded petrol which has an octane rating of RON

Octane Rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or high-
er (except Europe).
For customers who do not use good quality gasolines including fuel additives 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, China) / 5,000 km (for China). Additives are
available from a professional workshop along with information on how to use them. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix other additives.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the car
is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changesare required. Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary. Fuel filter cartridge (for diesel) A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven,damage the emission system and
cause multiple issues such as hard
starting. If an excessive amount of for-
eign matter accumulates in the fuel
tank, the filter may require replace-
ment more frequently. After installing
a new filter, run the engine for several
minutes, and check for leaks at the
connections. Have the fuel filter
replaced by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel filter (for petrol)
Kia petrol vehicle is equipped a life-
time fuel filter that integrated with the
fuel tank. Regular maintenance or
replacement is not needed but
depends on fuel quality. If there are
some important safety matters like
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, hard starting problem etc, fuelfilter inspection or replace is needed.
Have the fuel filter inspected or
replaced by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. Have the fuel lines, fuel hoses
and connections replaced by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/serv-
ice partner.
WARNING -
Diesel only
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off
engine. High pressure pump,
rail, injectors and high pressurepipes are subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced
by fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touch the body. People
using pacemakers should not
move more than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness with-
in the engine room whilst engine
is running, since the high cur-rents in the Common Rail sys-
tem produce considerable mag-netic fields.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACCposition.

Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
