CAUTION  
When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.  
Using tires of a different size may damage the related parts or cause them to operate improperly.  
✽
NOTICE  
We recommend replacing tires with the same make and model originally supplied with the vehicle; not doing so  
may affect driving performance.  
•
•
When driving in high altitude grades such as mountainous areas, injection of additional air into tires may be  
required due to lower atmospheric pressure. Therefore, add 1.5 psi for every 1,000m above sea level at the recom-  
mended tire pressure when frequently driving in high mountainous areas.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES  
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality.  
The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.  
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.  
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ-  
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure  
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.  
*3 : Use only specified genuine Intelligent Variable Transmission(IVT) fluid. The use of non-specified fluid (even marked as compat-  
ible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure.(Refer to  
“Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance Items” in chapter 8.)

Temperature  
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has  
an effect on fuel economy and cold  
weather operation (engine start and  
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-  
ty engine oils can provide better fuel  
economy and cold weather perform-  
ance, however, higher viscosity  
engine oils are required for satisfac-  
tory lubrication in hot weather. Using  
oils of any viscosity other than those  
recommended could result in engine  
damage. When choosing an oil, con-  
sider the range of temperature your  
vehicle will be operated in before the  
next oil change. Proceed to select  
the recommended oil viscosity from  
the chart.

the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.

Kia utilizes a network of over 30,000 roadside assistance  
Trip interruption  
providers. Should you accidentally run out of fuel, require  
a battery jump, or need help changing a tire, a Kia  
Roadside Assistance Representative will dispatch some-  
one to deliver a small quantity of gas, change a flat tire  
with your inflated spare, or arrange a battery jump to  
allow you to proceed to your destination. We have access  
to a network of over 10,000 locksmiths to help you should  
you become locked out of your Kia.  
Trip interruption expense benefits are provided in the  
event that a warranty-related disablement occurs more  
than 150 miles from your home, and the repairs require  
more than 24 hours to complete. Reasonable reimburse-  
ment is included for meals, lodging, or rental car expens-  
es. Trip interruption coverage is limited to $100 per day  
subject to a three day maximum limit per incident. You  
must contact the Kia Roadside Assistance Center to  
obtain pre-authorization of expenses. Once the Kia  
Roadside Assistance Center gives authorization for trip  
interruption benefits, they will assist you in making the  
necessary arrangements. Insurance deductibles,  
expenses, and claims paid by your insurance company or  
other providers are not eligible for reimbursement.  
In the event that mechanical difficulty renders your vehi-  
cle undriveable due to a warranty-related concern, Kia’s  
Roadside Assistance Representative will arrange to  
transport your vehicle to the nearest Kia dealer or to an  
alternative service location.  
Your vehicle must be accessible to our dispatch transport  
vehicle, as determined by our driver, to receive this service.  
Fleet vehicles are excluded from reimbursement under  
Kia’s Trip Interruption Policy.  
✽
NOTICE  
Roadside Assistance benefits are not available for any  
Kia vehicle that has ever been or should be issued a “sal-  
vage” title or similar “branded” title under any state’s  
law or has been declared a “total loss” or equivalent by  
a financial institution or insurance company.

1. The fuel specified for your vehicle may be unavailable.  
Registering your vehicle in a foreign country  
If other than the specified fuel is used, it could cause  
damage to the engine, the fuel injection system, and  
other fuel-related parts which may not be covered  
under your New Vehicle Emissions Limited Warranty.  
If you plan to register your vehicle in a foreign country,  
you should confirm that it conforms to the regulations in  
that country. Even if you successfully register the vehicle  
in a foreign country, you may experience the following  
problems and should therefore consider the possibility of  
having to deal with them:  
2. We must, therefore, clearly state that when you leave  
the country in which you purchased your Kia new and  
register it in another country, problems arising from the  
use of fuel other than the specified fuel are not subject  
to manufacturer’s warranty. Because vehicles like  
yours may not be marketed in the new country of reg-  
istration, parts, servicing techniques and tools neces-  
sary to maintain and repair your vehicle may be  
unavailable.  
Even if vehicles like yours are sold there, mechanical  
specifications required by the government may vary  
enough from the country of purchase to cause addi-  
tional problems.  
3. There may not be an Authorized Kia Dealer in the area  
in which you plan to register your vehicle. You may  
additionally experience difficulty in obtaining services  
in a foreign country for any number of reasons.  
Further, we cannot assume any responsibility for prob-  
lems that result from unsatisfactory service or lack of  
service outside of the United States.

form under all reasonably expected operating conditions.  
However,before any additional electrical equipment is  
installed in your vehicle, consult an Authorized Kia  
Dealer, in order to ensure that you do not void your war-  
ranty.  
Installation of a mobile two-way radio system  
If a mobile two-way radio system is installed improperly,  
or if an excessively powerful type of system is used, other  
electronic systems may be adversely affected. To avoid  
damage to your vehicle, consult an Authorized Kia Dealer  
concerning the proper equipment and installation.  
Certain electrical equipment, or the way in which it is  
installed, may adversely affect the operation of your vehi-  
cle, includingsuch systems as the engine control system,  
the audio system and the electrical charging system and  
thus potentially void all or part of your warranty.

larly the information under the headings "NOTICE",  
"CAUTION" and "WARNING".  
We assume no responsibility for any expense you may  
incur or for any malfunction of your vehicle or any of its  
components or systems that may result from the installa-  
tion of additional electrical equipment that is not supplied,  
or recommended for installation by, Kia.
