Introduction
Fuel additives
Kia recommends that you use
unleaded petrol which has an
octane rating of RON (Research
Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Antiknock
Index) 87 or higher.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrol including fuel addi
tives regularly, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, one bottle of additives
should be added to the fuel tank at
every 10,000 km.
Additives are available from a pro
fessional workshop along with
information on how to use them. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
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 fuel
Diesel engines must be operated
only on commercially available diesel
fuel that complies with EN 590 or
comparable 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 lim
itation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is
used in your vehicle. If two types of
diesel fuels are available, use sum
mer or winter fuel properly accord
ing 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 completely purged to
restart.
