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 cel-
lular 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.
• 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

highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
• 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. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel require-ments" suggested in chapter 1.
• If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, please make sure
that you use parts designed forreplacement in your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can resultin a serious malfunction of the
fuel system or emission controlsystem. For more detailed infor- mation, we recommend that youcontact an authorized Kia dealer.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted surfaces may damage the paint.

Fading - As your car moves away fromthe radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you selectanother stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears. Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anotherstation with a stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition haspassed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-wayradio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not meanthat something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possiblefrom the audio equipment.
JBM004JBM005
CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi- cle.
WARNING
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.
