• 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 whilst at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explo-
sion by flames.
• If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station or contact the police
and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions
they provide.
CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel with petrol
only for the petrol engine vehi-
cles and diesel fuel only for
the diesel engine vehicles.
• Check to make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely closed
after refueling.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a gen-
uine 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. Correct
replacement caps are avail-
able at authorised Kia dealers.
• Do not spill fuel on the exteri-
or surfaces of the vehicle. Any
type of fuel spilled on painted
surfaces may damage the
paint.
