Introduction  
Gasoline containing alcohol and  
methanol  
Other fuels  
Using fuels such as  
- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,  
CAUTION  
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The  
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to  
the catalytic converter and will  
damage the engine control sys-  
tem’s oxygen sensor and affect  
emission control.  
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.  
- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained fuel,  
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and  
- Other metalic additives contained fuels,  
may cause vehicle and engine damage or  
cause plugging, misfiring, poor accelera-  
tion, engine stalling, catalyst melting,  
abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduction,  
etc.  
Never add any fuel system cleaning  
agents to the fuel tank other than  
what has been specified.We recom-  
mend that the system be checked  
by an authorized Kia dealer.  
Do not use gasohol containing more than  
10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or  
gasohol containing any methanol. Either  
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-  
lems and damage to the fuel system,  
engine control system and emission con-  
trol system.  
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp  
(MIL) may illuminate.
