FUEL REQUIREMENTS Your new 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 blend- ed fuels.)Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini- mize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling. Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified. (Consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.) (cid:129) Tighten the cap until it clicks one time, otherwise the Check Engine
light will illuminate.
WARNING - Refueling
• Do not "top off" after the noz- zle 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. (cid:129) Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre- vent fuel spillage, especially in the event of an accident.
Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alco- hol), and gasoline or gasohol con- taining methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Introduction
Pursuant to EPA regulations, ethanol may be used in your vehicle. Do not use gasohol containing more than 15% 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 prob- lems 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 prob- lems may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty if they result from the use of: 1. Gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol.
2. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. 3. Gasohol containing more than 15
percent ethanol

Introduction
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com- prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15
percent gasoline, and is manufac- tured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is not compati- ble with your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in poor engine perform- ance and damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel system. Kia recom- mends that customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content exceed- ing 15 percent.✽✽ NOTICE Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel sys- tem or any performance problems caused by the use of “E85” fuel.
✽✽ NOTICE fuel containing Never use any methanol. Discontinue use of any methanol containing product which may inhibit proper drivability.
41
Other fuels Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si), MMT (Manganese, Mn), Ferrocene (Fe), and Other metalic additives, may cause vehicle and engine dam- age or cause misfiring, poor acceler- ation, engine stalling, catalyst melt- ing, clogging, abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduction, etc. Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.
Gasoline containing MMT Some gasoline contains harmful man- ganese-based fuel additives Such as M M T ( M e t hy l c y c l o p e n t a d i e n y l Manganese Tricarbonyl). Kia does not recommend the use of gasoline con- taining 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.
✽✽ NOTICE Damage to the fuel system or per- formance problem caused by the use of these fuels may not be covered by your Limited Warranty.
New Vehicle
Do not use methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alco- hol) should not be used in your vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system, engine control sys- tem and emission control system.
Operation in foreign countries If you are going to drive your vehicle in another country, be sure to: (cid:129) Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
(cid:129) Determine that acceptable fuel is
available.
YDM USA 1.QXP 5/1/2016 12:37 PM Page 5
Fuel Additives Kia recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with deter- gent additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, 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. 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, addi- tives that you can buy separately may be added to the gasoline. If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive should be added to the fuel tank at every 7,500miles or every engine oil change is recommended. Additives are avail- able from your authorized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
Introduction
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS No special break-in period is need- ed. By following a few simple precau- tions for the first 600 miles (1,000
km) you may add to the perform- ance, economy and life of your vehi- cle. (cid:129) Do not race the engine. (cid:129) While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.(cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
(cid:129) Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera- tion.

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 sys- tems 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
These data can help provide a bet- ter understanding of the circum- stances 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 con- ditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash loca- tion) 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.

Headrest (for front seat)
OMG038400
The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest for the occupant's safety and comfort. The headrest not only provides com- fort for the driver and front passen- ger, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.3 9

Safety features of your vehicle
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is at the same height of the center of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, the center of gravity of most people's head is similar with the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as close to your head as possible. For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.
WARNING - Headrest removal/adjustment
(cid:129) Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Headrests can provide critical neck and head support in a crash.
(cid:129) Do not adjust the headrest height while the vehicle is in motion. Driver may lose con- trol of the vehicle.

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 con- tamination of the webbing with pol- ishes, oils and chemicals, and partic- ularly 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.
(cid:129) For maximum restraint system pro- tection, 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.
(cid:129) 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.

It automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around your hips. When the seat belt is fully extended from the retractor to allow the instal- lation of a child restraint system, the seat belt operation changes to allow the belt to retract, but not to extend (Automatic Locking Retractor Type). Refer to “Using a child restraint sys- tem” in this section. To convert from the automatic lock- ing feature to the emergency locking operation mode, allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully retract.
Seat belts - Front passenger and rear seat 3-point system with combination locking retractor To fasten your seat belt Combination retractor type seat belts are installed in the rear seat posi- tions to help accommodate the installation of child restraint systems. Although a combination retractor is also installed in the front passenger seat position, it is strongly recom- mended that children always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER place an infant restraint system in the front seat of the vehicle. This type of seat belt combines the features of both an emergency lock- ing retractor seat belt and an auto- matic locking retractor seat belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the metal tab into the buckle. There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into the buckle.

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. 1. Retractor pre-tensioner The retractor pre-tensioner, which is a supplement system of the seat belts. The purpose of the retractor pre-tensioner is to tighten the shoul- der belt against the occupant's upper body in certain frontal collisions.3 21

Safety features of your vehicle
2. Emergency Fastening Device
(EFD)
The Emergency Fastening Device (EFD) is a supplemental system of the seat belts. The purpose of the EFD is to tighten the lap belt against the occupant's pelvis in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be activated, when a frontal collision is severe enough, together with the air bags. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor may lock into position. In certain frontal collisions (or side collisions), the pre-tensioner may activate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body. If the system senses excessive ten- sion on the driver or passenger's seat belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the load limiter inside the retractor pre-tensioner will release some of the pressure on the affected seat belt.
22
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt: 1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly and adjusted to the proper position. Please read and follow all of the important information and precautions about your vehicle's occupant safety features - includ- ing seat belts and air bags - that are provided in this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts properly.
✽✽ NOTICE When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compartment. These are normal operating condi- tions and are not hazardous.

WARNING - Skin irritation Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated. The fine dust from the pre-tensioner activation may cause skin irrita- tion and should not be breathed for prolonged periods.
Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag warning light ( ) on the instru- ment panel will illuminate for approxi- mately 6 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned to the ON position, and then it should turn off. If the pre-tensioner seat belt does not work properly, this warning light will illuminate even if the SRS air bag has not malfunctioned. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned ON, or if it remains illuminated after illuminating for approximately 6 sec- onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air bag system as soon as possible.
✽✽ NOTICE Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner. Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by an authorized Kia dealer.

Seat belt precautions Infant or small child All 50 states have child restraint laws. You should be aware of the specific requirements in your state. Child and/or infant seats must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat. For more information about the use of these restraints, refer to “Child restraint system” in this section.
24
WARNING - Small chil-
dren
Do not allow small children to ride in the vehicle without an appropriate child restraint sys- tem. If the shoulder belt comes in contact with your child's neck or face your child is too small to ride in the vehicle. In a crash the seat belt will inflict injury to your child's neck, throat and face.
Larger children Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always occu- py the rear seat and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion should be fastened snug on the hips and as low as possible. Periodically check belt fit. A child's squirming could put the belt out of position. Children are given the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 12) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securely restrained by the available lap/shoul- der belt and the seat should be placed in the rearmost position. Children age 12 and under should be restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER place a child age 12 and under in the front seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle. If the shoulder belt portion slightly touches the child’s neck or face, try placing the child closer to the center of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still touches their face or neck they need to be returned to a child restraint system.
YDM USA 3.QXP 5/1/2016 12:43 PM Page 25
Restraint of pregnant women Pregnant women should wear lap/shoulder belt assemblies when- ever possible according to specific recommendations by their doctors. The lap portion of the belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND LOW AS POSSIBLE on the hips, not across the abdomen.
WARNING - Pregnant
women
Pregnant women must never place the lap portion of the seat belt above or on the abdomen where the fetus is located. The force of the seat belt during a collision will crush the fetus.
Injured person A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommenda- tions.
One person per belt Two people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This could increase the severity of injuries in case of an acci- dent.
Safety features of your vehicle
Do not lie down To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achieve maximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sitting up and the front seats should be in an upright position when the vehicle is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if the person is lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statis- tics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger children who are not in a child restraint should use one of the seat belts provided. You should be aware of the specific requirements in your state. Child and/or infant safety seats must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat. You must use a commer- cially available child restraint system that meets the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by seat belt, or by a tether anchor and/or LATCH anchors.
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a par- ticular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the man- ufacturer when installing the child restraint system.

Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The violent forces created dur- ing a crash will tear the child from your arms and throw the child against the car’s interior. Always use a child restraint system which is appropriate for your child's height and weight.
WARNING - Seat belt use Do not use one seat belt for two occupants at the same time. This will eliminate any safety benefit provided by the seat belt to the occupants.
28
For safety reasons, we recommend that the child restraint system be used in the rear seats. Since all passenger seat belts move freely under normal conditions and only lock under extreme or emer- gency conditions (emergency lock mode), you must manually change these seat belts to the auto lock mode to secure a child restraint. If the seat belt does not operate as described in this section, have the system checked immediately by your authorized Kia dealer.
