Introduction

Your new vehicle is designed to use

only unleaded fuel having a pump

octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87

(Research Octane Number 91) or

higher. (Do not use methanol blend-

ed fuels.)

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 dealer for details.)

• Tighten the cap until it clicks one

time, otherwise the Check Engine

light will illuminate.

Gasoline containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and

ethanol (also known as grain alco-

hol), and gasoline or gasohol con-

taining methanol (also known as

wood alcohol) are being marketed

along with or instead of leaded or

unleaded gasoline.

Pursuant to EPA regulations, ethanol

may be used in your vehicle.

Do not use gasohol containing more

than 15 % 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 effi-

ciency and could lower your MPG

results.

Methanol may cause drivability prob-

lems and damage to the fuel system,

engine control system and emission

control system.

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.

Introduction

41

Discontinue using gasohol of any

kind if drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or drivability prob-

lems 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.

3.Gasohol containing more than

15% ethanol.

"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 compatible

with your vehicle. Use of “E85” may

result in poor engine performance

and damage to your vehicle's engine

and fuel system. Kia recommends

that customers do not use fuel with an

ethanol content exceeding 15 %.

✽✽

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.

✽✽

NOTICE

Never use gasohol which contains

methanol. Discontinue use of any

gasohol product which impairs dri-

vability.

Other fuels

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.

15

Introduction

Use of MTBE

Kia recommends avoiding fuels con-

taining 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 reduce vehicle performance and

produce vapor lock or hard starting.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover damage to

the fuel system and any perform-

ance problems that are caused by

the use of fuels containing methanol

or fuels containing MTBE (Methyl

Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0%

vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

Gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains harmful man-

ganese-based fuel additives Such as

MMT(Methylcyclopentadienyl

Manganese Tricarbonyl). Kia does not

recommend the use of gasoline con-

taining MMT. This type of fuel can

reduce vehicle performance and affect

your emission control system. The

malfunction indicator lamp on the clus-

ter may come on.

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.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover damage to

the fuel system and any perform-

ance problems that are caused by

the use of fuels containing methanol.

Fuel Additives

Kia recommends that you use good

quality gasolines treated with deter-

gent additives such as TOP TIER

Detergent Gasoline, which help pre-

vent deposit formation in the engine.

These gasolines will help the engine

run cleaner and enhance perform-

ance of the Emission Control System.

For more information on TOP TIER

Detergent Gasoline, please go to the

website (www.toptiergas.com)

For customers who do not use TOP

TIER Detergent Gasoline regularly,

and have problems starting or the

engine does not run smoothly, addi-

tives that you can buy separately

may be added to the gasoline.

If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not

available, one bottle of additive should

be added to the fuel tank at every

12,000 km (7,500 miles) or every

engine oil change is recommended.

Additives are available from your

authorized Kia dealer along with infor-

mation on how to use them. 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

registration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is

available.

As with other vehicles of this type,

failure to operate this vehicle correct-

ly may result in loss of control, an

accident or vehicle rollover.

Specific design characteristics (high-

er ground clearance, track, etc.) give

this vehicle a higher center of gravity

than other types of vehicles. In other

words they are not designed for cor-

nering at the same speeds as con-

ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-

vers. Again, failure to operate this

vehicle correctly may result in loss of

control, an accident or vehicle

rollover. Be sure to read the

“Reducing the risk of a rollover”

driving guidelines, in section 5 of

this manual.

No special break-in period is need-

ed.By following a few simple precau-

tions for the first 1,000 km (600

miles) you may add to the perform-

ance, economy and life of your vehi-

cle.

• Do not race the engine.

• While driving, keep your engine

speed (rpm, or revolutions per

minute) between 2,000 rpm and

4,000 rpm.

• Do not maintain a single speed for

long periods of time, either fast or

slow. Varying engine speed is

needed to properly break-in the

engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat

properly.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first

2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-

tion.

VEHICLE HANDLING

INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

This vehicle is equipped with an

event data recorder (EDR). The

main purpose of an EDR is to

record, in certain crash or near

crash-like situations, such as an

air bag deployment or hitting a

road obstacle, data that will assist

in understanding how a vehicle's

systems performed. The EDR is

designed to record data related to

vehicle dynamics and safety sys-

tems for a short period of time,

typically 30 seconds or less. The

EDR in this vehicle is designed to

record such data as:

• How various systems in your

vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and

passenger safety belts were

buckled/ fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator

and/or brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was travel-

ing.

These data can help provide a bet-

ter understanding of the circum-

stances in which crashes and

injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data

are recorded by your vehicle only

if a non-trivial crash situation

occurs; no data are recorded by

the EDR under normal driving

conditions and no personal data

(e.g., name, gender, age, and

crash location) are recorded.

However, other parties, such as

law enforcement, could combine

the EDR data with the type of per-

sonally identifying data routinely

acquired during a crash investiga-

tion.

To read data recorded by an EDR,

special equipment is required, and

access to the vehicle or the EDR is

needed. In addition to the vehicle

manufacturer, other parties, such

as law enforcement, that have the

special equipment, can read the

information if they have access to

the vehicle or the EDR.
