Once refuelling has begun,
contact with 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 mobile phones
whilst refuelling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from mobile phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire.
• When refuelling, always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapours caus-
ing a fire. Once refuelling is
complete, check to make sure
the filler cap and filler door
are securely closed, before
starting the engine.

• 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
section 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 more
detailed information, Kia rec-
ommends to contact an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
• Do not spill fuel on the exteri-
or 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.
