For customers who do not use good quality petrols including fuel additives regularly, and
have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of additives added
to the fuel tank at every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) (for Europe) / 10,000 km (6,500 miles)
(except Europe, China, Brazil) / 5,000 km (3,000 miles) (for China, Brazil).

use them. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix
other additives.
This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a qual-
ified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the EN590, it
must be replaced more frequently. If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., replace the fuel filter imme-
diately regardless of maintenance schedule and consult a professional workshop for more
details. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
