Fuel requirements
Petrol engine
Unleaded
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Antiknock 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 mini
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
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 specified. (Kia rec
ommends to consult an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner for
details.)
䳜 Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
䳜 Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci
dent.
Petrol containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and
ethanol (also known as grain alco
hol), and p
e
t
r
o
l
or gasohol con
taining methanol (also known as
wood alcohol) 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 con
trol system and emission control
system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if driveability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability 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.
