This warning light indicates the fuel tank
is nearly empty. When it comes on, you
should add fuel as soon as possible.
Driving with the fuel level warning light on

D150320AHM-EU-U1

Malfunction indicator (MIL)
(check engine light)
(if equipped)

This indicator light is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors various
emission control system components. If
this light illuminates while driving, it indi-
cates that a potential malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the emis-
sion control system.
This light will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, and will go out in a few seconds
after the engine is started. If it illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, take your vehicle to the nearest
authorized KIA dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but have the system checked by
an authorized KIA dealer promptly.

CAUTION

If the Emission Control System
Malfunction Indicator Light illumi-
nates, potential catalytic converter
damage is possible. This could
result in loss of engine power. Have
the Engine Control System inspect-
ed as soon as possible by an
authorized KIA dealer.

CAUTION

Prolonged driving with the Emission
Control System Malfunction
Indicator Light illuminated may
cause damage to the emission con-
trol systems which could effect dri-
vability and/or fuel economy.
