✽

✽ NOTICE

• Make sure to refuel with unleaded

fuel only.

• Check to make sure the fuel filler

cap is securely closed after refuel-
ing. A loose fuel filler cap may
cause the "Check Engine"
(Malfunction Indicator) light in
the instrument panel to illuminate
unnecessarily.

• If the fuel filler cap requires

replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent specified
for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel
filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system or
emission control system.

• Do not spill fuel on the exterior

surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.

(Continued)
• 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 refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.

• If a fire breaks out during refu-

eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department or 911.
