• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu‐
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
• When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are secure‐
ly closed, before starting the en‐
gine.
• DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a
gas station especially during refu‐
eling. Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.
• If a fire breaks out during refuel‐
ing, 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.
CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to Fuel requirements
on page 1-03.
• If the fuel filler cap requires re‐
placement, please make sure that
you use parts designed for re‐
placement in your vehicle. An in‐
correct fuel filler cap can result in
a serious malfunction of the fuel
system or emission control sys‐
tem. For more detailed informa‐
tion, we recommend that you con‐
tact an authorized Kia dealer.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
• After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an ac‐
cident.
