Introduction Fuel requirements
taining products which may inhibit
proper drivability.
Other fuels
Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si),
MMT (Manganese, Mn), Ferrocene (Fe),
and Other metallic additives, may cause
vehicle and engine damage or cause
misfiring, poor acceleration, engine stall
-
ing, catalyst melting, clogging, abnormal
corrosion, life cycle reduction, etc.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on
the cluster may appear.
Damage to the fuel system or perfor
-
mance problems caused using these
other fuels may not be covered by your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Use of MTBE
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 perfor
-
mance and produce vapor lock or hard
starting.
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may
not cover damage to the fuel system
and any performance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels containing
methanol or fuels containing MTBE
(Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful manga
-
nese-based fuel additives Such as MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tri
-
carbonyl). Kia does not recommend the
use of gasoline containing MMT. This
type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor
-
mance and affect your emission control
system. The MIL MIL may appear.
Do not use methanol
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, engine control system
and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use good
quality gasoline treated with detergent
additives such as TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline, which help prevent deposit
formation in the engine. These gasoline
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 cus

tomers who do not use TOP TIER Deter

gent Gasoline regularly, and have
problems starting or the engine does not
run smoothly, additives that you can buy
separately may be added to the gaso
-
line.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not
available, one bottle of additive should
be added to the fuel tank at every
13,000 km (8,000 miles) or every
engine oil change is recommended.
