Kia Seltos SP2 (2021-2026) Owner's Manual: Theft-alarm system

The Kia Seltos theft-alarm system is designed to help protect the vehicle from unauthorized entry and unwanted access. This system operates in three stages: the first is the "Armed" stage, the second is the "Theft-alarm" stage, and the third is the "Disarmed" stage. If the system is triggered, the Kia Seltos provides an audible alarm and the hazard warning lights blink to draw attention to the vehicle.

Kia Seltos SP2 (2021-2026) Owner's Manual: Fuel requirements

The Kia Seltos is engineered to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 87 ((R+M)/2), which is equivalent to Research Octane Number 91, or higher. Methanol-blended fuels should not be used, as they can affect proper drivability and may damage important fuel-related components. For the best balance of performance, reliability, fuel economy, and emissions control, your Kia Seltos should always be filled with high-quality unleaded fuel.
