Maintenance

Your vehicle is equipped with a cat-
alytic converter emission control
device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for

gasoline engines.

• Do not operate the vehicle when

there are signs of engine malfunc-
tion, such as misfire or a noticeable
loss of performance.

• Do not misuse or abuse the

engine. Examples of misuse are
coasting with the ignition off and
descending steep grades in gear
with the ignition off.

• Do not operate the engine at high

idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).

• Do not modify or tamper with any

part of the engine or emission con-
trol system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized Kia dealer.

• Avoid driving with a extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dam-
aging the catalytic converter.

Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalyt-
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
