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. 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.

WARNING
 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.
WARNING
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.

WARNING
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cause serious injuries.
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 com-
pletely removing the cap.
WARNING
Automotive fuels are flamma-
ble/explosive materials. When
refueling, please note the fol-
lowing guidelines carefully.
Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe per-
sonal injury, severe burns or
death by fire or explosion.
 Before refueling always notethe location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station facility.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Before touching the fuel noz-zle or fuel filler cap, you
should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching anoth-
er metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
 Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refuel-
ing. Do not touch, rub or slide
against any item or fabric
(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors resulting in explosion.
If you must re-enter the vehi-
cle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 When using a portable fuelcontainer be sure to place the
container on the ground prior
to refueling. Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehi-
cle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use
only portable fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
 Do not use cellular phones around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic
interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If
you must use your cellular
phone, use it in a place away
from the gas station.

 When refueling always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling
is complete, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap and
door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
 Do not light any fire around a gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cig-
arette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explo-
sion by flames.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 If a fire breaks out during refu-eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station or contact the police
and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions
they provide.
(Continued)
 If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a gen-uine Kia cap or the equivalentspecified for your vehicle. Anincorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunctionof the fuel system or emissioncontrol system. Correctreplacement caps are avail-able at authorized Kia dealers.
 Do not spill fuel on the exteri- or surfaces of the vehicle. Anytype of fuel spilled on paintedsurfaces may damage thepaint.
 A loose fuel filler cap may cause the “Check Engine”(Malfunction Indicator) light inthe instrument panel to illumi-nate unnecessarily.
 If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because thearea around it is frozen, pushor lightly tap the lid.
CAUTION
 Make sure to refuel with gaso- line (unleaded fuel) only forthe gasoline engine vehicles.
 Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closedafter refueling.

Auto fuel cutoff switch (if equipped)The auto fuel cutoff switch is located
on the driver’s side of the engine
compartment. In the event of a colli-
sion or sudden impact, the auto fuel
cutoff device cuts off the fuel supply.
If this device is activated, it must be
reset by pressing in on the top of the
switch before the engine can be
restarted.
Outside rearview mirror Be sure to adjust mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand outside
rearview mirrors. The mirrors can
either be adjusted remotely with the
control levers or remote switch,
depending on the type your vehicle
has. The mirror heads can be folded
back to prevent damage when using
an automatic car wash or passing in
a narrow street.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the sur-face of the glass. If ice shouldrestrict movement of the mirror,do not force the mirror foradjustment. To remove ice, usea deicer spray, or a sponge orsoft cloth with very warm water.
WARNING
Before resetting the auto fuel
cutoff switch, the fuel line
should be checked for fuel
leaks.
MIRRORS
OLD026020
WARNING
 The right outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen
in the mirror are closer than
they appear.
 Use your interior rearview mir- ror or direct observation to
determine the actual distance
of following vehicles when
changing lanes.

Driving your vehicle
D (drive)This is the normal forward driving
position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a 4-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transaxle will auto-
matically downshift to the next lower
gear.
3 (Third Gear)Move shift lever to this position for
towing a trailer during hill climbing.
This position also provides engine
braking when going down hills.2 (Second Gear)Use 2 (Second Gear) for more power
when climbing hills and for increased
braking when going down hills. This
position also helps reduce wheel
spin on slippery surfaces. When the
shift lever is placed in 2 (Second
Gear), the transaxle will automatical-
ly shift from first to second gear.
L (Low)Move the shift lever to this position in
hard pulling situations and for climb-
ing steep grades.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the recommend-ed maximum speeds in 2(Second Gear) or L (Low).Operating the vehicle at speedsabove the maximum recom-mended, for 2 (Second Gear) orL (Low) may cause excessiveheat to develop which couldresult in damage to or failure ofthe automatic transaxle.
