Closing the hood1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
• All filler caps in engine compart- ment must be correctly installed.
 Gloves, rags or any other com- bustible material must be
removed from the engine com-
partment.
2. Secure the support rod in its clip.
3. Lower the hood to about 12 inches (30 cm) height and then let it drop
to properly lock in place.
Make sure the hood is properly
locked before driving.
FUEL FILLER LID 1. Stop the engine.
2. To open the fuel filler lid, pull the release lever. 3. Pull the fuel filler lid out to open.
4. To remove the cap, turn the fuel
tank cap counter-clockwise.
5. Refuel as needed.
6. To install the cap, turn it clockwise until it “clicks”. This indicates that
the cap is securely tightened.
7. Close the fuel filler lid and push it lightly and make sure that it is
securely closed.

CAUTION
• Before closing the hood, makesure that all engine parts and
tools have been removed from
the engine area and that no
one’s hands are near the hood
opening.
 Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible materi-
al in the engine compartment.
Doing so may cause a heat-
induced fire.
CAUTION
To avoid injury from sharp
edges, it is recommended that
protective gloves be worn if
there is a need to open the fuel
filler door manually.

TIRES AND WHEELS Tires care For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.Inflation pressures All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked every day
when the tires are cold. “Cold Tires”
means the vehicle has not been driv-
en for at least three hours or driven
less than 1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tire wear. All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the front (driver’s or pas-
senger’s) door sill.
✽ ✽
NOTICE Warm tires normally exceed rec-
ommended cold tire pressures by
28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not
release air from warm tires to
adjust the pressure or the tires will
be underinflated.
 Underinflation results in excessive wear, poor handling, reduced fuel
economy, and the possibility of
blowouts from overheated tires.
Also, low tire pressure can cause
poor sealing of the tire bead. If the
tire pressure is excessively low,
wheel deformation and/or tire sep-
aration is possible. So, keep your
tire pressures at the proper levels.
If a tire frequently needs refilling,
have it checked by an Authorized
Kia Dealer. (Continued)

WARNING
Severe underinflation (70 kPa
(10 psi) or more) can lead to
severe heat build-up, especially
on hot days and when driving at
high speed. This can potentially
cause tread separation and
other tire irregularities to
appear that can result in the
loss of vehicle control leading
to severe injury or death.
