(unleaded fuel) only for the gaso-
line engine vehicles.

filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system or
emission control system. Correct
replacement caps are available at
authorized Kia dealers.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint. (Continued)(Continued)

the “Check Engine” (Malfunction
Indicator) light in the instrument
panel to illuminate unnecessarily.

around it is frozen, push or lightly
tap the lid.
When fuel filler lid does not open

Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽
NOTICEIf the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather
(below -10 °C/14 °F), the power
steering may require increased
effort when the engine is first start-
ed. This is caused by increased fluid
viscosity due to the cold weather and
does not indicate a malfunction.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing accelera-
tor until the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm
then release or let the engine idle for
two or three minutes to warm up the
fluid.
Tilt steering (if equipped)A tilt steering wheel allows you to
adjust the steering wheel before you
drive.You can also raise it to the
highest level to give your legs more
room when you exit and enter the
vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges. To change the steering wheel angle,
pull up the lock release lever (
➀),
adjust the steering wheel to the
desired angle (
➁), then release the
lock-release lever to lock the steering
wheel in place. Be sure to adjust the
steering wheel to the desired posi-
tion before driving.
WARNING
 Never adjust the angle of
steering wheel while driving.
You may lose your steering
control and cause severe per-
sonal injury or accidents.
 After adjusting, push the
steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is locked
in position.

Turn signalsThe ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on
the turn signals, move the lever up or
down. Green arrow indicators on the

turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position. The lever will return to the
OFF position when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one
of the turn signal bulbs may be
burned out and will require replace-
ment.✽ ✽
NOTICEIf an indicator flash is abnormally
quick or slow, bulb may be burned
out or have a poor electrical con-
nection in the circuit. Automatic headlight aiming
(if equiped)
To provide better driver visibility and
reduce eye fatigue, the headlight
aiming (direction) is automatically
controlled depending on vehicle load
and vehicle angle (when vehicle is
loaded with passengers, cargo or
used for towing, the additional load
can alter the headlight aiming point
on the road surface). This system
provides constant automatic head-
light aiming under various vehicle
conditions and angles to ensure the
headlights are always pointed in the
right direction.
