• 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 gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel your vehi-
cle according to the "Fuel
requirements" suggested in
chapter 1.
• 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
detailed information, Kia rec-
ommends to contact an autho-
rised 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
fuel cap is installed securely
to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.
