Introduction

Your new Kia vehicle is designed to

use only unleaded fuel having a

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

87 (Research Octane Number 91) or

higher.

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.)

✽✽

NOTICE

Tighten the cap until it clicks one

time, otherwise the fuel cap open

warning indicator light (or LCD

display) 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.

Do not use gasohol containing more

than 10% ethanol, and do not use

gasoline or gasohol containing any

methanol. Either of these fuels may

cause drivability problems and dam-

age to the fuel 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. Gasoline or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

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

"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 compati-

ble with your vehicle. Use of “E85”

may result in poor engine perform-

ance and damage to your vehicle's

engine and fuel system. Kia recom-

mends that customers do not use

fuel with an ethanol content exceed-

ing 10 percent.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty

does not cover damage to the fuel

system or any performance prob-

lems caused by the use of “E85” fuel.

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.

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.

Fuel Additives

Kia recommends that you use good

quality gasolines treated with deter-

gent additives such as TOP TIER

Detergent Gasoline, which helps

prevent deposit formation in the

engine.These gasolines will help the

engine run cleaner and enhance per-

formance of the Emission Control

System. For more information on

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline,

please go to the website (www.top-

tiergas.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

added to the fuel tank at 12,000 km

or every engine oil change is recom-

mended.Additives are available from

your authorized 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.)

Introduction

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.

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.

• 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 need-

ed to properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat

properly.

• Don't let the engine idle longer than

3 minutes at one time.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first

2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Uprighting

seat

Do not press the release lever

on a manual seatback without

holding and controlling the

seatback. The seatback will

spring upright possibly impact-

ing you or other passengers.

WARNING - Loose

objects

Do not place anything in the dri-

ver's foot well or under the front

seats. Loose objects in the dri-

ver's foot area could interfere

with the operation of the foot

pedals.

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for passengers

The driver must advise the pas-

senger to keep the seatback in

an upright position whenever

the vehicle is in motion. If a seat

is reclined during an accident,

the restraint system's ability to

restrain will be greatly reduced.

WARNING- Seat cushion

Occupants should never sit on

seat cushions. The passenger's

hips may slide under the lap

portion of the seat belt during

an accident or a sudden stop.

Front seat adjustment - power

The front seat can be adjusted by

using the control switch located on

the outside of the seat cushion.

Before driving, adjust the seat to the

proper position so as to easily con-

trol the steering wheel, pedals and

switches on the instrument panel.

WARNING - Seat

adjustment

• Do not adjust the seat while

wearing seat belts. Moving the

seat forward will cause strong

pressure on the abdomen.

• Do not place your hand near

the seat bottom or seat track

while adjusting the seat. Your

hand could get caught in the

seat mechanism.

WARNING

The power seat is operable with

the ignition OFF.

Therefore, children should never

be left unatteded in the vehicle.

WARNING - Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust the

seat while the vehicle is mov-

ing. This could result in loss

of control of your vehicle.

• Do not allow anything to inter-

fere with the normal position

of the seatback. Storing items

against a seatback or in any

other way interfering with

proper locking of a seatback

could result in a serious or

fatal injury in a sudden stop

or collision.

• Sit as far back as possible

from the steering wheel while

still maintaining comfortable

control of your vehicle. A dis-

tance of at least 10" from your

chest to the steering wheel is

recommended. Failure to do

so could result in air bag infla-

tion injuries to the driver.

pleted, excessive operation

may damage the electrical

equipment.

• When in operation, the power

seat consumes a large amount

of electrical power. To prevent

unnecessary charging system

drain, don’t adjust the power

seat longer than necessary

while the engine is not running.

• Do not operate two or more

power seat control switches at

the same time. Doing so may
