FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Gasoline enþine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle perýormance,
we recommend you to use unleaded þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RæN
(Research æctane Number) 95 / AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or hiþher.
You may use unleaded þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RæN 91~94 / AKI 87~90
but it may result in sliþht perýormance
reduction oý the vehicle. (Do not use methanol blended ýuels.)
Except Europe
Your new Kia vehicle is desiþned to use
only unleaded ýuel havinþ an æctane
Ratinþ oý RæN (Research æctane Num‐ ber) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or
hiþher. (Do not use methanol blended
ýuels.)
Your new vehicle is desiþned to obtain maximum perýormance with UNLEA‐
DED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust
emissions and spark pluþ ýoulinþ.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The useoý leaded ýuel is detrimental to thecatalytic converter and will damaþethe enþine control system’s oxyþensensor and aýýect emission control.Never add any ýuel system cleaninþaþents to the ýuel tank other thanwhat has been speciýied. (Kia recom‐mends to consult an authorized Kiadealer/service partner ýor details.)
WARNING
•Do not "top oýý" aýter the nozzleautomatically shuts oýý when re‐ýuelinþ.
•Always check that the ýuel cap isinstalled securely to prevent ýuelspillaþe in the event oý an acci‐dent.
Leaded (iý equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is de‐
siþned to use leaded þasoline. When you are þoinþ to use leaded þas‐
oline, Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner and
ask whether leaded þasoline in your ve‐ hicle is available or not.
æctane Ratinþ oý leaded þasoline is
same with unleaded one.

Do not use þasohol containinþ more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use þas‐
oline or þasohol containinþ any metha‐ nol. Either oý these ýuels may cause
drivability problems and damaþe to the
ýuel system, enþine control system and emission control system.
Discontinue usinþ þasohol oý any kind iý
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damaþe or drivability problems
may not be covered by the manuýac‐ turer’s warranty iý they result ýrom the

Usinþ ýuels such as - Silicone (Si) contained ýuel,
- MMT (Manþanese, Mn) contained
ýuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained ýuel, and
- æther metalic additives contained
ýuels, may cause vehicle and enþine
damaþe or cause pluþþinþ, misýirinþ,
poor acceleration, enþine stallinþ, catalyst meltinþ, abnormal corrosion,
liýe cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malýunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damaþe to the ýuel system or per‐
ýormance problem caused by the

(æxyþen Content 2.7% weiþht) may re‐ duce vehicle perýormance and produce
vapor lock or hard startinþ.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warrantymay not cover damaþe to the ýuelsystem and any perýormance prob‐lems that are caused by the use oýýuels containinþ methanol or ýuelscontaininþ MTBE (Methyl TertiaryButyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (OxyþenContent 2.7% weiþht.)
Do not use methanol
Fuels containinþ methanol (wood alco‐ hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type oý ýuel can reduce vehicle
