For Europe
For the optimal vehicle perfor

unleaded petrol with an octane rat

ber) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91
or higher.
You may use unleaded petrol with
an octane rating of RON 91~94 / AKI
87~90 but it may result in slight
performance reduction of the vehi

cle. (Do not use methanol blended
fuels.)
Except Europe
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
minimise 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 authorised
Kia dealer/service partner for
details.)

automatically shuts off when
refuelling.
䳜 Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci

dent.
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded petrol. When
you are going to use leaded petrol,
Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service part
-
ner and ask whether leaded petrol in
your vehicle is available or not.
Octane Rating of leaded petrol is
same with unleaded one.
