DRIVING TIPS
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your new Kia Vehicle must use only
UNLEADED FUEL having an octane
rating of 87 or higher. Your new Kia is
designed to obtain maximum performance
with unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will
minimize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.

Ethanol (also known as grain alcohol) is
a mixture of ethanol and gasoline
marketed as gasohol. Do not use gasohol

Either of these fuels may cause
driveability problems and damage to the
fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
driveability problems occur.
