Do not use mobile phones whilst
refuelling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from

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
refuelling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately contact
the manager of the gas station
and then contact the local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
CAUTION
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel require -
ments" on page 1-2.
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, please make sure
that you use parts designed for
replacement in your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can result
in a serious malfunction of the
fuel system or emission control
system. For more detailed infor -
mation, Kia recommends to con -
tact an authorised Kia dealer/
service partner.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
After refuelling, make sure the
