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.

RISK OF BURNS WHEN PARKING OR STOPPING VEHICLE.
• Do not park or stop the vehicle near flammable items such as leaves, pa‐
per, oil, and tire. Such items placed
near the exhaust system can become
a fire hazard.
• When an engine idles at a high speed with the rear side of the vehicle
touching the wall, heat of the ex‐
haust gas can cause discoloration or
fire. Keep enough space between the
rear part of the vehicle and the wall.
• Be sure not to touch the exhaust/ catalytic systems while engine is run‐
ning or right after the engine is
turned off. There is a risk of burns
since the systems are extremely hot.

charging system.
If there is a malfunction with either thealternator or electrical charging sys‐tem:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and check the alternator drive belt for looseness
or breakage.

3. Set the air intake control to theoutside air or recirculated air posi‐
tion.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
CAUTION
•The refrigerant system should on‐ly be serviced by trained and certi‐fied technicians to insure properand safe operation.
•The refrigerant system should beserviced in a well-ventilated place.
•The air conditioning evaporator(cooling coil) shall never be re‐paired or replaced with one re‐moved from a used or salvagedvehicle and new replacement MACevaporators shall be certified (andlabeled) as meeting SAE StandardJ2842.
NOTICE
•When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up hills
or in heavy traffic when outside
temperatures are high. Air condi‐
tioning system operation may
cause engine overheating. Contin‐
ue to use the blower fan but turn
the air conditioning system off if
the temperature gauge indicates
engine overheating.
•When opening the windows in hu‐
mid weather air conditioning may
create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to
electrical equipment, air condition‐
ing should only be used with the
windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in di‐ rect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time to let the hot air inside the vehicle es‐
cape. • To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days, de‐
crease the humidity inside the vehicle
by operating the air conditioning sys‐ tem.
• During air conditioning system opera‐ tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to en‐
sure maximum system performance.
• When using the air conditioning sys‐ tem, you may notice clear waterdripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side of
the vehicle. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
• Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position pro‐vides maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to be‐
come stale.
• During cooling operation, you may oc‐ casionally notice a misty air flow be‐
cause of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system oper‐
ation characteristic.

ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
WARNING
nENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open thewindows immediately.•Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyx‐iation.
•Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If youhear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle,have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine inyour garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
•Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an openarea with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interi‐or.
If you must drive with the tailgate/trunk open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1.Close all windows.
2.Open side vents.
3.Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the wind‐shield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
