2018 KIA STONIC gas type

1. Gasohol containing more than 10%ethanol.
2. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which containsmethanol. Discontinue use of anygasohol product which impairs driva‐bility.
Other fuels
Using fuels such as - Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and
- Other metallic additives contained fuels, may cause vehicle and engine
damage or cause plugging, misfiring, poor acceleration, engine stalling,
catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion,
life cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or per‐
formance problem caused by the
use of these fuels may not be cov‐
ered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
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 re‐
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warrantymay not cover damage to the fuelsystem and any performance prob‐lems that are caused by the use offuels containing methanol or fuelscontaining MTBE (Methyl TertiaryButyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (OxygenContent 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
performance and damage components of the fuel system, engine control sys‐
tem and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use unleaded
gasoline 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 (Re‐ search Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) 87 or higher (except Eu‐
rope).
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 15,000 km (For Eu‐
rope) / 10,000 km (Except Europe). Ad‐ ditives are available from a professional
workshop along with information on
how to use them. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner. 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 available.
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,
heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi‐ tives, as this will increase wear and
cause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels and / or fuel additives will result in a
limitation 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 die‐ sel 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 restart.
CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or water en‐ter the tank. This would make it nec‐essary to drain it out and to bleedthe lines to avoid jamming the injec‐tion pump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION
nDiesel Fuel (if equipped withDPF)
It is recommended to use the regula‐ted automotive diesel fuel for dieselvehicle equipped with the DPF sys‐tem.If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam‐aged and white smoke can be emit‐ted.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of
no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN
14214 or equivalent specifications. (EN
stands for "European Norm"). The use of biofuels exceeding 7% made from
rapeseed methyl ester (RME), fatty
acid methyl ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing die‐
sel exceeding 7% with biodiesel will
cause increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system. Repair or re‐
placement of worn or damaged compo‐
nents due to the use of non approved fuels will not be covered by the manu‐
factures warranty.
CAUTION
•Never use any fuel, whether dieselor B7 biodiesel or otherwise, thatfails to meet the latest petroleumindustry specification.
•Never use any fuel additives ortreatments that are not recom‐mended or approved by the vehiclemanufacturer.

Introduction

BATTERY
For best battery service
• Keep the battery securely mounted.
• Keep the battery top clean and dry.
• Keep the terminals and connectionsclean, tight, and coated with petrole‐
um jelly or terminal grease.
• Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a solution
of water and baking soda.
• If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, disconnect the
battery cables.
NOTICE
Basically equipped battery is main‐
tenance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked
with LOWER and UPPER on the side,
you can check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be be‐
tween LOWER and UPPER. If the
electrolyte level is low, it needs to
add distilled (demineralized) water
(Never add sulfuric acid or other
electrolyte). When refill, be careful
not to splash the battery and adja‐
cent components. And do not overfill
the battery cells. It can cause corro‐
sion on other parts. After then en‐
sure that tighten the cell caps. Con‐
tact a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
nBattery dangers
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always read the followinginstructions carefully whenhandling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes andall other flames or sparksaway from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly com‐bustible gas, is alwayspresent in battery cells andmay explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of thereach of children becausebatteries contain highlycorrosive SULFURIC ACID.Do not allow battery acidto contact your skin, eyes,clothing or paint finish.
