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.

Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes in handling,
durability, and fuel economy. Success‐
ful, safe trailering requires correct equipment, and it has to be used prop‐
erly.
This section contains many time-tes‐
ted, important trailering tips and safety
rules. Many of these are important for your safety and that of your passen‐
gers. Please read this section carefully
before you pull a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle, wheel assemblies,
and tires are forced to work harder
against the load of the added weight. The engine is required to operate at
relatively higher speeds and under
greater loads. This additional burden generates extra heat. The trailer also
considerably adds wind resistance, in‐
creasing pulling requirements.

NOTICE
nLocation of trailer mounting
CUV
After removing rear bumper and
back beam, hitch equipment can be
installed. The rear bumper should be
reinstalled after completion of hitch
equipment installation.
Hitches
It's important to have the correct hitch
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are a few
reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow: • Do you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you installa trailer hitch? If you do, then be sure
to seal the holes later when you re‐
move the hitch.
If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can get into your vehicle, as well as
dirt and water.
• The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for hitches. Do not attach
rental hitches or other bumper-type
hitches. Use only a frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to the
bumper.
• Kia trailer hitch accessary is available at an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
Safety chains
You should always attach chains be‐
tween your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer so that the tongue
will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch.
