Introduction21Fuel requirementsINTRODUCTION
Fuel requirements
Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having a pump octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. (Do not use methanol blend- ed 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 add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified. (Consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.) 󳱽Tighten the cap until it clicks one time, otherwise the Check Engine light will illuminate.
WARNING
Refueling󳱽Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off. Attempts to force more fuel into the tank can cause fuel overflow onto you and the ground causing a risk of fire.󳱽Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage, especially in the event of an accident.
Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alco
-
hol), and gasoline or gasohol con -
taining methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline.Pursuant to Environmental Protec
-
tion Agency (EPA) regulations, etha -
nol may be used in your vehicle.Do not use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or gasohol containing any methanol. Ethanol provides less energy than gasoline and it attracts water, and it is thus likely to reduce your fuel efficiency and could lower your MPG results.Methanol may cause drivability problems and damage to the fuel system, engine control system and emission control system.Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur.Vehicle damage or drivability prob
-
lems may not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty if they result from the use of:1.Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.2.Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. 3.Gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol.

311IntroductionFuel requirements
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel comprised of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. "E85" is not compatible with your vehicle. Use of "E85" may result in poor engine performance and damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel system. Kia recommends that customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content exceeding 15%.
NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel system or any performance prob
-
lems caused by the use of "E85" fuel.
NOTICE
Never use any fuel containing meth -
anol. Discontinue use of any metha -
nol containing product which may inhibit proper drivability.
Other fuels
Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si), MMT (Manganese, Mn), Ferrocene (Fe), and Other metalic additives, may cause vehicle and engine dam
-
age or cause misfiring, poor acceler -
ation, engine stalling, catalyst melting, clogging, abnormal corro
-
sion, life cycle reduction, etc.Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or per -
formance problem caused by the use of these fuels may not be cov
-
ered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful manganese- based fuel additives Such as MMT (Methylcyclopentadi
-
eny l Manganese Tricarbonyl). Kia does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor
-
mance and affect your emission control system. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the cluster may come on.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in your vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system, engine control system and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with
on_en_us.book Page 3 Thursday, January 31, 2019 2:23 PM

Introduction41Vehicle break-in process
detergent additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance performance of the emission control system.For more information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the website (www.toptiergas.com) For customers who do not use TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, addi
-
tives that you can buy separately may be added to the gasoline.If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive should be added to the fuel tank at every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or every engine oil change is recom

mended. Additives are available from your authorized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other addi
-
tives.
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.
Vehicle break-in process
No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precau
-
tions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to the perfor
-
mance, economy and life of your vehicle.󳱽Do not race the engine.󳱽While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.󳱽Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.󳱽Avoid hard stops, except in emer
-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.󳱽Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera
-
tion.

511IntroductionRisk of burns when parking or stopping vehicle
Risk of burns when parking or stopping vehicle
󳱽Do not park or stop the vehicle near flammable items such as leaves, paper, oil, and tire. Such items placed near the exhaust system can become a fire hazard.󳱽When an engine idles at a high rpm with the rear side of the vehicle in close proximity of the wall, heat of the exhaust gas can cause discoloration or fire. Keep enough space between the rear part of the vehicle and the wall.󳱽Be sure not to touch the exhaust/catalytic systems while the engine is running or right after the engine is turned off. There is a risk of burns since the systems are extremely hot.
Vehicle data collection and Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obsta
-
cle, data that will assist in under -
standing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:󳱽How various systems in your vehicle were operating;󳱽Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/ fastened;󳱽How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,󳱽How fast the vehicle was travel
-
ing. These data can help provide a bet
-
ter understanding of the circum -
stances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gen

der, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data rou
-
tinely acquired during a crash inves -
tigation.To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
