Introduction
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% 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% ethanol."E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-
prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15
percent gasoline, and is manufac-
tured exclusively for use in Flexible
Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is not compati-
ble with your vehicle. Use of “E85”
may result in poor engine perform-
ance and damage to your vehicle's
engine and fuel system. Kia recom-
mends that customers do not use
fuel with an ethanol content exceed-
ing 15%.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
does not cover damage to the fuel sys-
tem or any performance problems
caused by the use of “E85” fuel.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Never use any fuel containing
methanol. Discontinue use of any
methanol containing product which
may inhibit proper drivability.
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.

lated by the total driving distance
and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
- Fuel economy range: 0.0 ~ 99.9
MPG or L/100km
The average fuel economy can be
reset both manually and automati-
cally.
✽ ✽
NOTICE

cantly based on driving conditions,
driving habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
Manual reset
To clear the average fuel economy
manually, press the OK button
(reset) on the steering wheel for
more than 1 second when the aver-
age fuel economy is displayed.

Features of your vehicle
Automatic reset
To make the average fuel economy
be reset automatically whenever
refueling, select the “Fuel economy
auto reset” mode in User Setting
menu of the LCD window (Refer to
“LCD window”).
OFF - You may set to default man-
ually by using the trip switch reset
button.

vehicle will reset to default auto-
matically.✽ ✽
NOTICE
For a more accurate calculation of
the average fuel economy, the vehi-
cle must be continuously driven
more than 10 seconds and 50 meters
(0.03 miles).
Instant Fuel Economy (2)
This mode displays the instant fuel
economy during the last few sec-
onds when the vehicle speed is
more than 4.9 mph (8 km/h).
- Fuel economy range : 0 ~ 50
(MPG), 0 ~ 30 (km/L, L/100 km).
CAUTION - Low Fuel
Level
Level warning light on or with
the fuel level below “E” can
cause the engine to misfire and
damage the catalytic converter
