FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Gasoline engine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you to use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of RON
(Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.
You may use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of RON 91~94 / AKI 87~90
but it may result in slight performance
reduction of the vehicle. (Do not use methanol blended fuels.)
Except Europe
Your new Kia vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane Num‐ ber) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or
higher. (Do not use methanol blended
fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEA‐
DED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust
emissions and spark plug fouling.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The useof leaded fuel is detrimental to thecatalytic converter and will damagethe engine control system’s oxygensensor and affect emission control.Never add any fuel system cleaningagents to the fuel tank other thanwhat has been specified. (Kia recom‐mends to consult an authorized Kiadealer/service partner for details.)
WARNING
•Do not "top off" after the nozzleautomatically shuts off when re‐fueling.
•Always check that the fuel cap isinstalled securely to prevent fuelspillage in the event of an acci‐dent.
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is de‐
signed to use leaded gasoline. When you are going to use leaded gasoline,
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner and ask whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle
is available or not.
Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is
same with unleaded one.
Gasoline containing alcohol andmethanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and gasoline or gasohol containing methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or in‐
stead of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use gas‐
oline or gasohol containing any metha‐
nol. Either of these fuels may cause drivability problems 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 problems
may not be covered by the manufac‐
turer’s warranty if they result from the use of:

Introduction

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.

severe burns or death by fire or ex‐plosion.•Read and follow all warnings atthe gas station facility.
•Before refueling note the locationof the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at the gas stationfacility.
•Before touching the fuel nozzle,you should eliminate potentiallydangerous static electricity dis‐charge by touching another metalpart of the vehicle, a safe distanceaway from the fuel filler neck,nozzle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not get back into a vehicle onceyou have begun refueling since youcan generate static electricity bytouching, rubbing or sliding againstany item or fabric (polyester, sat‐in, nylon, etc.) capable of produc‐ing static electricity. Static elec‐tricity discharge can ignite fuel va‐pors resulting in rapid burning. Ifyou must reenter the vehicle, youshould once again eliminate poten‐tially dangerous static electricitydischarge by touching a metal partof the vehicle, away from the fuelfiller neck, nozzle or other gasolinesource.
•When using an approved portablefuel container, be sure to place thecontainer on the ground prior torefueling. Static electricity dis‐charge from the container can ig‐nite fuel vapors causing a fire.Once refueling has begun, contactwith the vehicle should be main‐tained until the filling is complete.Use only approved portable plasticfuel containers designed to carryand store gasoline.
