Introduction
Gasoline engine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you to use unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of
RON (Research Octane Number) 95
/ AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.
You may use unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of RON 91~94 / AKI
87~90 but it may result in slight per-
formance reduction of the vehicle.
(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 mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded gasoline.
When you are going to use leaded
gasoline, we recommend that you
ask an authorized Kia dealer
whether leaded gasoline in your
vehicle is available or not.
Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is
same with unleaded one.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
CAUTION
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 speci-
fied. (We recommend that you
consult an authorized Kia dealer
for details.)
