Knowing your vehicle

NOTICE

If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold

weather because the area around it is

frozen, push or lightly tap the lid.

Manual fuel filler lid release
(if equipped)

If the fuel filler lid is not open by using the
remote button, open it by pulling out the
emergency handle which is located in the
right side storage in a cargo area.

(Continued)
• DO NOT use matches or a lighter

and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a
gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is high-
ly flammable and can, when ignit-
ed, result in fire.

• If a fire breaks out during refuel-

ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station and
then contact the local fire depart-
ment or 911.

CAUTION

• Make sure to refuel with unleaded

fuel only.

• Check to make sure the fuel filler

cap is securely closed after refu-
eling. A loose fuel filler cap may
cause the "Check Engine"
(Malfunction Indicator) light in the
instrument panel to illuminate
unnecessarily.

• If the fuel filler cap requires

replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent speci-
fied for your vehicle. An incorrect
fuel filler cap can result in a seri-
ous malfunction of the fuel sys-
tem or emission control system.

• Do not spill fuel on the exterior

surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
