WARNING
- Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and thus
subject you to the risk of fire and
burns. Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap is
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition
stops before completely removing
the cap.
WARNING -
Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
 Before refueling note the locationof the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.

(Continued)
 Before touching the fuel nozzle,you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe distance
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source.
 Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing or
sliding against any item or fabric
(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
 When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
eling.

Knowing your vehicle
✽
✽NOTICE• Make sure to refuel with unleaded
fuel only.
• Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refueling. A
loose fuel filler cap may cause the
“Check fuel filler cap ( )” light in
the instrument panel to illuminate
unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler cap requires replace- ment, use only a genuine Kia cap or
the equivalent specified for your vehi-
cle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction of the
fuel system or emission control sys-
tem.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior sur- faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel
spilled on painted surfaces may dam-
age 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 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.
(Continued)
Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
 Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
 When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
