2019 KIA K900 check engine

Introduction
For the optimal engine performance,
we recommend you use unleaded
gasoline which has an octane rating
of RON (Research Octane Number)
95/AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or high-
er.
Using Unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating lower than RON 95
could result in loss of engine power
and increase in fuel consumption.
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 K900 Kia dealer for
details.)
Tighten the cap until it clicks onetime, 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.

Easy access function (if equipped)
To provide easier entry to or exit from
the vehicle for a driver, the driver’s
seat will be adjusted backwards as
far as the distance set by Vehicle set-
ting on the Navigation touch screen
in instrument panel. This occurs
when the Engine start/stop button is
off with the shift lever in the P posi-
tion. If, however, the distance
between the front seat and back
seats are too close, the driver’s seat
could fail to adjust itself backwards.
The steering wheel regularly checks
and fine-tunes itself to find the right
location (the original location) by
going up as high as possible and
moving as close as possible to a
driver.The driver’s seat and steering wheel
will move back to its original position
when a driver closes a driver’s door
with a smart key in his pocket and
the engine start/stop button is in ON
or in ACC.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to "Set Up" in
Navigation touch screen in instru-
ment panel.
Front seat position memory sys-
tem initialization
If the function does not operate nor-
mally, initialize as follows.
Initialization method
1. When the vehicle is stopped and
the engine start/stop button is ON,
place the automatic transmission
lever to P and then open the driver's
door.
2. Pull the seat forward as far as pos-
sible using the position and angle
adjustment driver`s switch.
3. Press the SET button and the dri-
ver's seat forward movement switch
simultaneously for about 2 seconds.
Initialization process
1.The alarm sounds and the initial-
ization process starts.
2.The seat and backrest automati-
cally move backwards. With the seat
and backrest moving, the alarm con-
tinues to sound.
3.The seat and backrest will move to
the center again and the alarm
sounds. This signals the initialization
is completed.

The side air bag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's
seat belt systems and is not a sub-
stitute for them. Therefore your
seat belts must be worn at all times
while the vehicle is in operation.
For best protection from the side air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air
bag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands should
be placed on the steering wheel at
the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. The
passenger's arms and hands
should be placed on their laps. If seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized K900
Kia dealer. Inform the dealer that
your vehicle is equipped with side
air bags and an occupant detection
system.
WARNING- Flying objects
Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles if the side
airbag inflates.
WARNING- Deployment
Do not install any accessories
including seat covers, on the
side or near the side air bag as
this may affect the deployment
of the side air bags.WARNING- Unexpected deployment
Avoid impact to the side impact
airbag sensor when the Engine
Start/Stop button is ON to pre-
vent unexpected deployment of
the side air bag.WARNING - No attaching
objects
Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself. Also, do not
attach any objects around the
area the air bag inflates such
as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar.
Do not put any objects between the side airbag label
and seat cushion. It could
cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to
cause the air bags to deploy.
Never place or insert any object into any small opening
near side airbag labels
attached to the vehicle seats.
When the air bag deploys, the
object may affect the deploy-
ment and result in unexpected
accident or bodily harm.
Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air
bags.

Power trunk non-opening conditions
The power trunk will not open or
close automatically, when the vehicle
is moving more than 2 mph (3 km/h).
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The power trunk can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However the power trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being discharged,

do not operate the power trunk.
This could cause the power trunk
to operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power trunk may not work prop-
erly due to freezing conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power trunk is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance.
If the resistance is detected while
opening the trunk, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
If the resistance is detected while closing the trunk, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
WARNING
