Introduction
Your new Kia vehicle is designed to
use only unleaded fuel having a
pump octane number ((R+M)/2) of
87 (Research Octane Number 91) or
higher.
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 Premium dealer for
details.)
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Tighten the cap until it clicks one
time, otherwise the fuel cap open
warning indicator light (or LCD
display) will illuminate.
Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol (also known as wood alco-
hol) are being marketed along with or
instead of leaded or unleaded gaso-
line.
Pursuant to EPA regulations, ethanol
may be used in your vehicle. Do not
use gasohol containing more than
10% 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 efficien-
cy and could lower your MPG results.
Methanol may cause drivability prob-
lems and damage to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of anykind
if drivability problems occur. Vehicle
damage or drivability problems 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.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
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.
