WARNING
Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, pleas e note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to fol-
low these guidelines may result in
s evere per sonal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explo sion.
• Before refueling alway s note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at
the gas station facility.
Note and follow all safety precau-
tions and warning posted at the
facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you should elimi-
nate potentially dangerou s static
electricity discharge by touching
another metal part of the front of
the vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or
other gas source.

• Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling.
Do not touch, rub or slide against
any item or fabric (polyes ter,
satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-
ducing static electricity. Static
electricity dis charge can ignite
fuel vapor s res ulting in explo-
sion. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
s tatic electricity dis charge by
touching a metal part of the vehi-
cle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
•
When us ing a portable fuel con-
tainer be s ure to place the contain-
er on the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity dis charge from
the container can ignite fuel vapor s
caus ing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
s hould be maintained until the fill-
ing is complete. Us e only portable
fuel container s des igned to carry
and store gas oline.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not us e cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. If you must use
your cellular phone u se it in a
place away from the ga s station.
• When refueling alway s shut the
engine off. Spark s produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. Alway s insure that
the engine i s OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling i s
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 ga s
station. DO NOT u se 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
i s highly flammable and can,
when ignited, re sult in explosion
by flames.
• If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the ga s station or
contact the police and local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel with ga soline
(unleaded fuel) only for the ga so-
line engine vehicles.
• Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refu-
eling.
• If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, u se only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent speci- fied for your vehicle. An incorrectfuel filler cap can result in a seri- ous malfunction of the fuel sys-tem or emission control system.Correct replacement caps are
available at authorized Kia deal- er s.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
• A loose fuel filler cap may cause the “Check Engine” (MalfunctionIndicator) light in the instrument panel to illuminate unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because the areaaround it is frozen, push or lightly tap the lid.

Electric type (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly 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 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 automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle. Type A (if equipped)
Press the button (
➀) to turn the automat-
ic- dimming function on, the mirror indi-
cator light will illuminate.
Press the button (
➀) once again to turn
the automatic- dimming function off. The
mirror indicator light will turn off.  Type B (if equipped)
Press the “O” button to turn the automat-
ic- dimming function off. The mirror indi-
cator light will turn off.
Press the “I” button to turn the automatic-
dimming function on, the mirror indicator
light will illuminate.
✽
NOTICE
When 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.

CAUTION
• Do not hold the lighter in after it is
already heated becaus e it will
overheat.
• Only a genuine Kia lighter should
be used in the cigarette lighter socket. The use of plug-in acce s-
sories ( shavers, hand-held vacu-
ums, and coffee pot s, for exam-
ple) may damage the socket or
cause electrical failure.
• If the lighter does not pop out within 30 seconds, remove it toprevent overheating.

Power outlet (if equipped)
The power outlets are designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate with
vehicle electrical systems. The devices
should draw less than 10 amps with the
engine running.
✽NOTICE
 Use when the engine is running and
remove a plug from the power outlet
after using the electric appliance.
Using when the engine stops or
remaining the electric appliance
plugged in for many hours may cause
the battery to discharge.
 Only use the electric appliances which are less than 12V and 10A in electric
capacity.
 Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operation level when you
have to use the power outlet while
using the air-conditioner or heater.
 Close the cover when not in use.
 Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference and when
plugged into a vehicle's power outlet.
These devices may cause excessive
audio static and malfunctions in other
electronic systems or devices used in
your vehicle.

How car audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your car. This signal is
then received by the radio and sent to
your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening con-
ditions which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The fol-
lowing conditions are normal and do not
indicate radio trouble:

is short during the stop of driving, but
the normal fuel rate is displayed if you
continue to drive.
• The average fuel consumption displays the previous value if ACC is on again in
off status of ACC.
