Always check that the fuel cap is installed
securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.✽ ✽
NOTICE
When using an approved portable fuel
container, 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 vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
approved portable plastic fuel contain-
ers designed to carry and store gasoline.
WARNING - Fire/explosion
risk
Read and follow all warnings post-
ed at the gas station facility. Failure
to follow all warnings will result in
severe personal injury, severe
burns or death due to fire or explo-
sion.
WARNING - Cell phonefires
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.
WARNING - Static electricity
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance 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 fab-
ric (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.

Features of your vehicle
Make sure to refuel your vehicle accord-
ing to the "Fuel requirements" suggested
in section 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement,
use only a genuine Kia cap or the equiv-
alent specified for your vehicle. An incor-
rect fuel filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system or emis-
sion control system.
CAUTION- Exterior paint
Do not spill fuel on the exterior sur-faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuelspilled on painted surfaces maydamage the paint.
WARNING - Refueling& Vehicle fires
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 secure-
ly closed, before starting the
engine.
WARNING - Smoking
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 refu-
eling. Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.
