Introduction

Petrol engine

Unleaded

For Europe

For the optimal vehicle performance,

we recommend you to use unleaded

petrol with an octane rating of RON

(Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI

(Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher. (Do

not use methanol blended fuels.)

You may use unleaded petrol with an

octane rating of RON 91~94 / AKI

87~90 but it may result in slight per-

formance reduction of the vehicle.

Except Europe

Your new Kia vehicle is designed to

use only unleaded fuel having an

Octane Rating of RON (Research

Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-

Knock Index) 87 or higher. (Do not

use methanol blended fuels.)

Your new vehicle is designed to

obtain maximum performance with

UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-

imise exhaust emissions and spark

plug fouling.

Leaded (if equipped)

For some countries, your vehicle is

designed to use leaded petrol. When

you are going to use leaded petrol, we

recommend that you ask an autho-

rised Kia dealer whether leaded petrol

in your vehicle is available or not.

Octane Rating of leaded petrol is

same with unleaded one.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

• Do not "top off" after the noz-

zle automatically shuts off

when refueling.

• Always check that the fuel cap

is installed securely to pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event

of an accident.

CAUTION

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL.The

use of leaded fuel is detrimental

to the catalytic converter and

will damage the engine control

system’s oxygen sensor and

affect emission control.

Never add any fuel system

cleaning agents to the fuel tank

other than what has been speci-

fied. (We recommend that you

consult an authorised Kia deal-

er for details.)

Introduction

41

Petrol containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and

ethanol (also known as grain alco-

hol), and petrol or gasohol containing

methanol (also known as wood alco-

hol) are being marketed along with or

instead of leaded or unleaded petrol.

Do not use gasohol containing more

than 10% ethanol, and do not use

petrol or gasohol containing any

methanol. Either of these fuels may

cause drivability problems and dam-

age to the fuel system, engine control

system and emission control system.

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.Gasohol containing more than

10% ethanol.

2.Petrol or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

Other fuels

Using fuels such as

- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,

- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained

fuel,

- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and

- Other metalic additives contained

fuels, may cause vehicle and engine

damage or cause plugging, misfir-

ing, poor acceleration, engine

stalling, catalyst melting, 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.

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which con-

tains methanol. Discontinue use

of any gasohol product which

impairs drivability.

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 vapour lock or hard starting.

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.

Fuel Additives

Kia recommends that you use

unleaded petrol 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 (Research Octane

Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index)

87 or higher (except Europe).

For customers who do not use good

quality petrols including fuel addi-

tives regularly, and have problems

starting or the engine does not run

smoothly, one bottle of additives

added to the fuel tank at every

15,000km (For Europe, Australia and

New Zealand) / 10,000km (Except

Europe, Australia and New Zealand).

Additives are available from your

authorised Kia dealer along with

information on how to use them. Do

not mix other additives.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover damage

to the fuel system and any per-

formance problems that are

caused by the use of fuels con-

taining methanol or fuels con-

taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

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.

Diesel engine

Diesel fuel

Diesel engine must be operated only

on commercially available diesel fuel

that complies with EN 590 or compa-

rable standard. (EN stands for

"European Norm"). Do not use

marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or

non-approved fuel additives, as this

will increase wear and cause dam-

age to the engine and fuel system.

The use of non-approved fuels and /

or fuel additives will result in a limita-

tion 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

diesel 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 petrol or water

enter the tank.This would make

it necessary to drain it out and

to bleed the lines to avoid jam-

ming the injection pump and

damaging the engine.

CAUTION - Diesel Fuel

(if equipped with DPF)

It is recommended to use the

regulated automotive diesel fuel

for diesel vehicle equipped with

the DPF system.

If you use diesel fuel including

high sulfur (more than 50 ppm

sulfur) and unspecified addi-

tives, it can cause the DPF sys-

tem to be damaged and white

smoke can be emitted.

17

Introduction

Biodiesel

Commercially supplied Diesel blends

of no more than 7% biodiesel, com-

monly 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), veg-

etable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or

mixing diesel exceeding 7% with

biodiesel will cause increased wear or

damage to the engine and fuel sys-

tem. Repair or replacement of worn or

damaged components due to the use

of non approved fuels will not be cov-

ered by the manufactures warranty.

Biodiesel (for New Zealand)

Commercially supplied Diesel blends

of no more than 7% biodiesel, com-

monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be

used in your vehicle if Biodiesel

meets EN 14214 or equivalent spec-

ifications. (EN stands for "European

Norm"). The use of biofuels exceed-

ing 7%, made from rapeseed methyl

ester (RME), vegetable oil methyl

ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel

exceeding 7% with biodiesel will

cause increased wear or damage to

the engine and fuel system. Repair

or replacement of worn or damaged

components due to the use of non

approved fuels will not be covered by

the manufactures warranty.

CAUTION

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel or B7 biodiesel or oth-

erwise, that fails to meet the

latest petroleum industry

specification.

• Never use any fuel additives

or treatments that are not rec-

ommended or approved by the

vehicle manufacturer.

CAUTION

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel or B7 biodiesel or oth-

erwise, that fails to meet the

latest petroleum industry

specification.

• Never use any fuel additives

or treatments that are not rec-

ommended or approved by the

vehicle manufacturer.

No special break-in period is needed.

By following a few simple precautions

for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you

may add to the performance, econo-

my and life of your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• Whilst driving, keep your engine

speed (rpm, or revolutions per

minute) within 3,000 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 operation.
