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:

Feature of Seat Leather
• Leather is made from the outer skin of an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for use. Since it is a natural substance,
each part differs in thickness or den‐
sity.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural re‐
sult of stretching and shrinking de‐
pending on the temperature and hu‐ midity.
• The seat is made of stretchable fab‐ ric to improve comfort.
• The parts contacting the body are curved and the side supporting area
is high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
• Wrinkles may appear naturally from usage. It is not a fault of the product.

NOTICE
nwithout rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also in a
side collision, if the vehicle is equip‐
ped with a side or curtain air bag.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following compo‐ nents. Their locations are shown in the
illustration: 1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from apre-tensioner seat belt:1.The seat belt must be worn cor‐rectly and adjusted to the properposition. Please read and followall of the important informationand precautions about your vehi‐cle’s occupant safety features –including seat belts and air bags– that are provided in this man‐ual.
2.Be sure you and your passen‐gers always wear seat beltsproperly.
NOTICE
•Pre-tensioners equipped at the
front and rear outboard seating
positions will be activated in cer‐
tain collisions. The pre-tensioner
seat belts can be activated, where
the collision is severe enough, to‐
gether with the air bags.
•When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visi‐
ble in the passenger compart‐
ment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
•Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro‐
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an ac‐
cident in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.

after the ignition switch has been
turned to the ON position, and
then it should turn off.
CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is notworking properly, the SRS air bagwarning light will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRSair bag. If the SRS air bag warninglight does not illuminate when theignition key is turned to ON, or if itremains illuminated after illuminat‐ing for approximately 6 seconds, orif it illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, have the system in‐spected by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an author‐ized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
•Pre-tensioners are designed to op‐erate only one time. After activa‐tion, pre-tensioner seat beltsmust be replaced. All seat belts, ofany type, should always be re‐placed after they have been wornduring a collision.
•The pre-tensioner seat belt as‐sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touch thepre-tensioner seat belt assembliesfor several minutes after theyhave been activated.
•Do not attempt to inspect or re‐place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. Have the system inspec‐ted by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Do not strike the pre-tensionerseat belt assemblies.

Larger children
Children who are too large for child re‐
straint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. The lap portion should
be fastened and snugged on the hips and as low as possible. Check if belt fits
periodically. A child's squirming could
put the belt out of position. Children are given the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 12)
must be seated in the front seat, the
child should be securely restrained by the available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rearmost
position. Children age 12 and under should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child age 12
and under in the front seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the
front seat of a vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try placing the child closer to the center of
the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to be returned to a child restraint system.WARNING
nShoulder belts on small chil‐dren
•Never allow a shoulder belt to be incontact with a child’s neck or facewhile the vehicle is in motion.
•If seat belts are not properly wornand adjusted on children, there is arisk of death or serious injury.
Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recommended
for pregnant women to lessen the
chance of injury in an accident. When a
seat belt is used, the lap belt portion
should be placed as low and snugly as possible on the hips, not across the ab‐
domen. For specific recommendations,
consult a physician.
WARNING
nPregnant women
Pregnant women must never placethe lap portion of the safety beltover the area of the abdomen wherethe fetus is located or above the ab‐
(Continued)
(Continued)
domen where the belt could crushthe fetus during an impact.
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an in‐
jured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you should con‐
sult a physician for recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of inju‐ ries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve
maximum effectiveness of the re‐
straint system, all passengers should
be sitting up and the front and rear seats should be in an upright position
when the vehicle is moving. A seat belt
cannot provide proper protection if the person is lying down in the rear seat or
if the front and rear seats are in a re‐
clined position.
