NOTICE Make sure to refuel with unleaded
fuel only.
 Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refuel-
ing. 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 specified
for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel
filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system 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.
(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 highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.
 If a fire breaks out during refu- eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department or 911.

Electric type (if equipped)
The electric day/night rearview mir-
ror automatically controls the glare
from the headlights of the car behind
you in nighttime or low light driving
conditions. The sensor mounted in
the mirror senses the light level
around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically
controls the headlight glare (10% to
70 %) from vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into reverse (R), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.✽ ✽
NOTICEWhen cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
key would enable children to
operate power windows or other

cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.
