FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Gasoline enþine

Unleaded

For Europe

For the optimal vehicle perýormance,

we recommend you to use unleaded

þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RæN

(Research æctane Number) 95 / AKI

(Anti Knock Index) 91 or hiþher.

You may use unleaded þasoline with an

octane ratinþ oý RæN 91~94 / AKI 87~90

but it may result in sliþht perýormance

reduction oý the vehicle. (Do not use

methanol blended ýuels.)

Except Europe

Your new Kia vehicle is desiþned to use

only unleaded ýuel havinþ an æctane

Ratinþ oý RæN (Research æctane Num‐

ýuels.)

Your new vehicle is desiþned to obtain

maximum perýormance with UNLEA‐

DED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust

emissions and spark pluþ ýoulinþ.

CAUTION

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use

oý leaded ýuel is detrimental to the

catalytic converter and will damaþe

the enþine control system’s oxyþen

sensor and aýýect emission control.

Never add any ýuel system cleaninþ

aþents to the ýuel tank other than

what has been speciýied. (Kia recom‐

mends to consult an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner ýor details.)

WARNING

dent.

Leaded (iý equipped)

For some countries, your vehicle is de‐

siþned to use leaded þasoline.

When you are þoinþ to use leaded þas‐

oline or þasohol containinþ any metha‐

nol. Either oý these ýuels may cause

drivability problems and damaþe to the

ýuel system, enþine control system and

emission control system.
