(Continued)
• Do not light any fire around a
gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cig-
arette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially dur-
ing refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explo-
sion by flames.
• If a fire breaks out during
refueling, leave the vicinity of
the vehicle, and immediately
contact the manager of the
gas station or contact the
police and local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.

✽ ✽ NOTICE
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent speci-
fied for your vehicle. An incorrect
fuel filler cap can result in a seri-
ous malfunction of the fuel sys-
tem or emission control system.
Correct replacement caps are
available at authorized Kia deal-
ers.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
• A loose fuel filler cap may cause
the "Check Engine" light in the
instrument panel to illuminate
unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler lid will not open
in cold weather because the area
around it is frozen, push or light-
ly tap the lid.

AUTO FUEL CUTOFF SWITCH

The auto fuel cutoff switch is located
on the passenger's side of the engine
compartment. In the event of a colli-
sion or sudden impact, the auto fuel
cutoff device cuts off the fuel supply.
If this device is activated, it must be
reset by pressing in on the top of the
switch before the engine can be
restarted.
WARNING
Before resetting the auto fuel
cutoff switch, the fuel line
should be checked for fuel
leaks.
