2019 KIA FORTE MPG

13
Introduction
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having a pump
octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87
(Research Octane Number 91) or
higher. (Do not use methanol blend-
ed fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Never add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than
what has been specified. (Consult an
authorized Kia dealer for details.)
Tighten the cap until it clicks one
time, otherwise the Check Engine
light will illuminate.
Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol), and gasoline or gasohol con-
taining methanol (also known as
wood alcohol) are being marketed
along with or instead of leaded or
unleaded gasoline.Pursuant to EPA regulations, ethanol
may be used in your vehicle.
Do not use gasohol containing more
than 15 percent ethanol, and do not
use gasoline or gasohol containing
any methanol. Ethanol provides less
energy than gasoline and it attracts
water, and it is thus likely to reduce
your fuel efficiency and could lower
your MPG results.
Methanol may cause drivability prob-
lems and damage to the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or drivability prob-
lems may not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty if they result
from the use of:
1. Gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol.
2. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
3. Gasohol containing more than 15
percent ethanol.
WARNING - Refueling
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off.
Attempts to force more fuel
into the tank can cause fuel
overflow onto you and the
ground causing a risk of fire.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage, especially
in the event of an accident.

Average Vehicle Speed (3)
The average vehicle speed is cal-
culated by the total driving dis-
tance and driving time since the
last average vehicle speed reset.
- Speed range : 0 ~ 250 km/h orMPH
To reset the average vehicle speed, press the RESET button
on the steering wheel for more
than 1 second when the average
vehicle speed is displayed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The average vehicle speed is not
displayed if the driving distance is
less than 300 meters (0.2 miles) or
the driving time is less than 10 sec-
onds since the ignition switch is
turned to ON.
• Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the average vehicle speed
keeps going while the engine is
running.
Fuel EconomyAverage Fuel Economy (1)
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 ~ 99.9 km/L, L/100 km or MPG
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Fuel economy may vary significant-
ly based on driving conditions, driv-
ing habits, and condition of the vehi-
cle.

Instant Fuel Economy (2)
This mode displays the instant fuel
economy during the last few sec-
onds when the vehicle speed is
more than 10km/h (6.2 MPH).
- Fuel economy range:0.0 ~ 30 km/L , L/100km or 0.0 ~
50.0 MPGAccumulated driving information
mode (For type B, C cluster)
Displays accumulated information
starting from mileage/fuel efficien-
cy/time default point.
Accumulated information is calcu- lated after the vehicle has run for
more than 300 meters (0.18 miles).
If you press "OK" button for more than 1 second after the Cumulative
Information is displayed, the infor-
mation will be reset.
If the engine is running, even when the vehicle is not in motion, the
information will be accumulated.
One time driving information
mode (For type B, C cluster)
The vehicle will display Driving
Information once per one ignition
cycle.
Fuel efficiency is calculated after the vehicle has run for more than
300 meters (0.18 miles).
The Driving Information will be reset 4 hours after ignition has
been turned off. So, when the vehi-
cle ignition is turned on within 4
hours, the information will not be
reset.
