FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Petrol engine
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.
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. (Kia recommends to con-
sult an authorised
dealer/service partner
details.)
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refuelling.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
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
methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
CAUTION
Kia
Never use gasohol which con-
for
tains methanol. Discontinue use
of any gasohol product which
impairs drivability.
