FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your new Kia 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 blend­ed fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini­mize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.
CAUTION
Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been speci­fied. (Consult an authoriz ed Kia dealer for details.)
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 chec k that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre­vent fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
NOTICE
Tighten the cap until it clicks one time, otherwise the fuel cap open warning indicator light will illu­minate.
Introduction
Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alco­hol), and gasoline or gasohol con­taining methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Pursuant to EPA regulations, ethanol may be used in your vehicle.
Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% 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 prob­lems may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty if they result from the use of:
13
Introduction
1. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
2. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com­prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent 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 10 percent.
NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel system or any performance problems caused by the use of “E85” fuel.
Other fuels
Using fuels such as Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si),
MMT (Manganese, Mn), Ferrocene (Fe), and Other metalic additives, may cause vehicle and engine dam­age or cause misfiring, poor acceler­ation, engine stalling, catalyst melt­ing, clogging, abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or per­formance problem caused by the use of these fuels may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT (Methylcyclopentadi- enyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Kia does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and affect your emis­sion control system.
The malfunction indicator lamp 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.
41
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with 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, addi­tives that you can buy separately may be added to the gasoline. If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive added to the fuel tank at every 7,500mile or every engine oil change is recommended. Additives are avail­able from your authorized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
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.
Introduction
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
No special break-in period is need­ed.By following a few simple precau­tions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to the perform­ance, 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 emer­gencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera­tion.

Introduction
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 obstacle, data that will assist in understanding 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 bet­ter understanding of the circum­stances 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 , gender, 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 routinely acquired during a crash investiga­tion.
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.

SEAT BELTS
Seat belt restraint system
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable;wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con­tamination of the webbing with pol­ishes, oils and chemicals, and partic­ularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
• For maximum restr aint system pro­tection, the seat belts must always be used whenever the vehicle is moving. A properly positioned shoulder belt should be positioned midway over your shoulder across your collarbone.
• Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. See child restraint system section for further discussion.
WARNING - Shoulder
belt
Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. An improperly positioned shoulder belt cannot protect the occupant in a crash.
WARNING - Damaged
seat belt
Replace the entire seat belt assembly if any part of the web­bing or hardware is damaged as you can no longer be sure that a damaged seat belt will provide protection in a crash.
