Use of MTBE
Do not use methanol
No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the  performance,  economy  and   life  of
your vehicle.
KIA recommends avoiding fuels  contain-
ing  MTBE (Methyl  Tertiary  Butyl  Ether)
over  15.0% vol.  (Oxygen Content  2.7%
weight) in your vehicle.
Fuel  containing  MTBE over  15.0%  vol.
(Oxygen   Content   2.7%   weight)   may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
Fuels  containing  methanol (wood  alco-
hol) should  not be used  in your  vehicle.
This type of fuel  can reduce vehicle per-
formance  and  damage  components  of
the fuel system.
•  Do not race the engine.
•  While driving, keep your  engine speed
(rpm,
or   revolutions    per    minute)
A020106AUN
Gasolines for cleaner air
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 emergen-
cies, to  allow the brakes to  seat prop-
erly.
To help contribute to cleaner air, KIA rec-
ommends that you use gasolines treated
with detergent additives, which  help pre-
vent  deposit   formation  in   the  engine.
These gasolines will help  the engine run
cleaner and enhance performance of the
Emission Control System.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle  Limited Warranty
may  not cover  damage  to the  fuel
system and any  performance prob-
lems that  are caused by the  use of
fuels containing  methanol  or fuels
containing  MTBE   (Methyl  Tertiary
Don't let the  engine idle longer  than 3
