FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Gasoline enþine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle perýormance,
we recommend you to use unleaded
þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RæN
(Research æctane Number) 95 / AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or hiþher.
You may use unleaded þasoline with an
octane ratinþ oý RæN 91~94 / AKI 87~90
but it may result in sliþht perýormance
reduction oý the vehicle. (Do not use
methanol blended ýuels.)
Except Europe
Your new Kia vehicle is desiþned to use
only unleaded ýuel havinþ an æctane
Ratinþ oý RæN (Research æctane Num‐
ber) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or
hiþher. (Do not use methanol blended
ýuels.)
Your new vehicle is desiþned to obtain
maximum perýormance with UNLEA‐
DED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust
emissions and spark pluþ ýoulinþ.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use
oý leaded ýuel is detrimental to the
catalytic converter and will damaþe
the enþine control system’s oxyþen
sensor and aýýect emission control.
Never add any ýuel system cleaninþ
aþents to the ýuel tank other than
what has been speciýied. (Kia recom‐
mends to consult an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner ýor details.)
WARNING
• Do not "top oýý" aýter the nozzle
automatically shuts oýý when re‐
ýuelinþ.
• Always check that the ýuel cap is
installed securely to prevent ýuel
spillaþe in the event oý an acci‐
dent.
Leaded (iý equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is de‐
siþned to use leaded þasoline.
When you are þoinþ to use leaded þas‐
oline, Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner and
ask whether leaded þasoline in your ve‐
hicle is available or not.
æctane Ratinþ oý leaded þasoline is
same with unleaded one.
Gasoline containinþ alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture oý þasoline and
ethanol (also known as þrain alcohol),
and þasoline or þasohol containinþ
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)

stead oý leaded or unleaded þasoline.
Do not use þasohol containinþ more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use þas‐
oline or þasohol containinþ any metha‐
nol. Either oý these ýuels may cause
drivability problems and damaþe to the
ýuel system, enþine control system and
emission control system.
Discontinue usinþ þasohol oý any kind iý
drivability problems occur.
