Features of your vehicle
When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place
the container on the ground prior
to refuelling. Static electricity dis -
charge from the container can
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.
Once refuelling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry
and store petrol.
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.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause pet -
rol spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refuel -
ling, leave the vicinity of the vehi -
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station and
then contact the local fire depart -
ment. Follow any safety instruc -
tions they provide.
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.
Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci -
dent.
NOTICE
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel require -
ments" on page 1-2.
NOTICE
Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
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.
