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 location
of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
Always heed any warnings or
cautions posted at the fueling
station.
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, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce 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. 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)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.

✽
✽NOTICEIf 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 illuminateunnecessarily.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuineKia 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 typeof fuel spilled on painted surfacesmay damage the paint.

loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars
and roof rack and secure the load
firmly.
The vehicle center of gravity will be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden

control or rollover causing an
accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always drive slowly and turn cor-ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by passing
vehicles or natural causes, can
cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof rack.
This is especially true when car-
rying large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off
the roof rack and cause damage
to your vehicle or those around
you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving to
make sure the items on the roof
rack are securely fastened.
