1. Gasoline or gasohol containingmethanol.
2. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
"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 10 percent.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty does not cover damage to
the fuel system or any performance
problems caused by the use of “E85”
fuel.
Other fuels
Using fuels such as
Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si),
MMT (Manganese, Mn), Ferrocene
(Fe), and Other metalic additives,
may cause vehicle and engine dam-
age or cause misfiring, poor acceler-
ation, engine stalling, catalyst melt-
ing, clogging, 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 covered by
your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful
manganese-based fuel additives
such as MMT (Methylcyclopentadi-
enyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Kia does not recommend the use of
gasoline containing MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle
performance and affect your emis-
sion control system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on
the cluster may come on.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.

Features of your vehicle
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel requirements"
suggested in section 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replace-
ment, use only a genuine Kia cap or
the equivalent specified for your vehi-
cle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction of the
fuel system or emission control sys-
tem.
CAUTION- Exteriorpaint
Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Anytype of fuel spilled on paintedsurfaces may damage the paint.
WARNING - Refueling& Vehicle fires
When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once
refueling is complete, check to
make sure the filler cap and
filler door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
WARNING- Smoking
DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehi-
cle while at a gas station espe-
cially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.

Odometer
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
You will also find the odometer useful
to determine when periodic mainte-
nance should be performed.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
It is against the law to alter the
odometer on all vehicles with the
intent to change the mileage regis-
tered on the odometer.WARNING- Fuel gauge
Stop and obtain additional fuel
as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when
the gauge indicator comes
close to the E level. Running out
of fuel can expose vehicle occu-
pants to danger.
CAUTION- Low fuel
Avoid driving with extremely
low fuel level. Running out offuel could cause the engine tomisfire, damaging the catalyticconverter.

Trip computer (Tripmeter)
(if equipped)
The trip computer is a microcomput-
er-controlled driver information sys-
tem that displays information related
to driving, when the ignition switch is
in the ON position. All stored driving information (except
distance to empty and instant fuel
consumption) will reset if the battery
is disconnected.

Tripmeter
TRIP A: Tripmeter A
TRIP B: Tripmeter B
This mode indicates the distance of
individual trips selected since the
last tripmeter reset.
The meter's working range is from
0.0 to 999.9 miles (0.0 to 999.9 km).
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the tripmeter
(TRIP A or TRIP B) is being dis-
played, clears the tripmeter to zero
(0.0).Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated
distance to empty based on the cur-
rent fuel in the fuel tank and the
amount of fuel delivered to the
engine. When the remaining distance
is below 1 miles (1 km), “---” will be
displayed and the distance to empty
indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 1
to 990 miles (1 to 999 km).

If the vehicle is not on level ground
or the battery power has been
interrupted, the “Distance to
empty” function may not operate
correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters
(1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
The fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary signifi-
cantly based on driving conditions,
driving habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
The distance to empty value is an estimate of the available driving
distance. This value may differ from
the actual driving distance avail-
able. Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average
fuel consumption from the total fuel
used and the distance since the last
average consumption reset. The total
fuel used is calculated from the fuel
consumption input. For an accurate
calculation, drive more than 0.03
mile (50 m).
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is displayed, clears
the average fuel consumption to zero
(---). If the vehicle speed exceeds 0.6
MPH (1 km/h) after refueled more
than 6 l
, the average fuel consump-
tion will be cleared to zero (---).

Features of your vehicle
Instant fuel consumption
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption during the last few sec-
onds.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
You must drive more than 6 MPH
(10 km/h) (type A) or 3 MPH (5
km/h) (type B) for this mode to cal-
culate the instant fuel consumption.
Average speed
This mode calculates the average
speed of the vehicle since the last
average speed reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion,
the average speed keeps going while
the engine is running.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
speed is displayed, clears the aver-
age speed to zero (---). Elapsed time
This mode indicates the total time
traveled since the last elapsed time
reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion,
the elapsed time keeps going while
the engine is running.
The meter’s working range is from
0:00~99:59.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the elapsed
time is being displayed, clears the
elapsed time to zero (0:00).

tion.Manual transaxle shift indica-
tor (if equipped)
This indicator informs you which
gear is desired while driving to save
fuel.
For example
: Indicates that shifting up to the3rd gear is desired (currently
the shift lever is in the 2nd or 1st
gear).
: Indicates that shifting down to the 3rd gear is desired (current-
ly the shift lever is in the 4th or
5th gear).
When the system is not working
properly, the indicator is not dis-
played.

Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, ESC or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
is malfunctioning.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop
mode
Stop the vehicle completely by
pressing the brake pedal.
The idle stop mode activates in case:
The vehicle speed has exceeded 5 mph (8 km/h) at least once and the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) or N
(Neutral) position. The engine will stop and the green
AUTO STOP indicator ( ) on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
type B cluster, the notice will illumi-
nate on the LCD display.
