WARNING - Refuelling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
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.
Do not "top off" after the noz- zle automatically shuts offwhen refuelling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the eventof an accident.(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refu-
elling since you can generate
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of produc-
ing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapours resulting
in rapid burning. If you must
re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other petrol source.
(Continued)WARNING - Refuelling
dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refuelling,
please note the following guide-
lines carefully. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
severe personal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explo-sion.
Read and follow all warning posted at the gas station facility.
Before refuelling note the location of the Emergency
Petrol Shut-Off, if available, at
the gas station facility.
Before touching the fuel noz- zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.

When using an approvedportable fuel container, be sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refuelling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapours causing a fire.Once refuelling has begun,
contact with the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry
and store petrol.
Do not use mobile phones whilst refuelling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from mobile phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
When refuelling, always shutthe engine off. Sparks produced
by electrical components relat-ed to the engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling is complete, check tomake 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 whilst at a gas station
especially during refuelling.
Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
If a fire breaks out during refu- elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.CAUTION
Make sure to refuel your vehi-
cle according to the "Fuelrequirements" suggested in chapter 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, please make surethat you use parts designed forreplacement in your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunctionof the fuel system or emission control system. For moredetailed information, Kia rec-ommends to contact an autho- rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Anytype of fuel spilled on paintedsurfaces may damage the paint.
After refuelling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securelyto prevent fuel spillage in theevent of an accident.

When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.

ciency depends on the tempera-
ture of the air. In order to improve
cooling efficiency, use the air con-
ditioning system together.
The air ventilation seat defaults to the OFF position whenever the
ignition switch is turned to the ONposition. Sunvisor
