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 securely 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 vehi-
cle while at a gas station espe-
cially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.
WARNING

Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any
type of fuel spilled on painted
surfaces may damage the paint.
CAUTION
Do not pull the handle exces-
sively, otherwise the luggage

What to do in an emergency
The tire pressure displayed on theinstrument panel may be different
from the tire pressure measured by
a tire pressure gauge.TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
Have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer as soon
as possible to determine the cause
of the problem.
✽ NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tire pressure position
telltale will not be displayed even
though the vehicle has an under-
inflated tire.
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power sup-
ply cables or radio transmitter such
as at police stations, government
and public offices, broadcasting
stations, military installations, air-
ports, or transmitting towers, etc.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indicator may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated if the snow
chains are used or some separate
electronic devices such as note-
book computer, mobile charger,
remote starter or navigation etc.,
are used in the vehicle. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
