WARNING
Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, pleas e note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to fol-
low these guidelines may result in
s evere per sonal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explo sion.
• Before refueling alway s note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at
the gas station facility.
Note and follow all safety precau-
tions and warning posted at the
facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you should elimi-
nate potentially dangerou s static
electricity discharge by touching
another metal part of the front of
the vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or
other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling.
Do not touch, rub or slide against
any item or fabric (polyes ter,
satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-
ducing static electricity. Static
electricity dis charge can ignite
fuel vapor s res ulting in explo-
sion. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
s tatic electricity dis charge by
touching a metal part of the vehi-
cle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
•
When us ing a portable fuel con-
tainer be s ure to place the contain-
er on the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity dis charge from
the container can ignite fuel vapor s
caus ing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
s hould be maintained until the fill-
ing is complete. Us e only portable
fuel container s des igned to carry
and store gas oline.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not us e cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. If you must use
your cellular phone u se it in a
place away from the ga s station.
• When refueling alway s shut the
engine off. Spark s produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. Alway s insure that
the engine i s OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling i s
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.

(Continued)
• Do not light any fire around a ga s
station. DO NOT u se matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
i s highly flammable and can,
when ignited, re sult in explosion
by flames.
• If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the ga s station or
contact the police and local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel with ga soline
(unleaded fuel) only for the ga so-
line engine vehicles.
• Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refu-
eling.
• If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, u se only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent speci- fied for your vehicle. An incorrectfuel filler cap can result in a seri- ous malfunction of the fuel sys-tem or emission control system.Correct replacement caps are
available at authorized Kia deal- er s.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
• A loose fuel filler cap may cause the “Check Engine” (MalfunctionIndicator) light in the instrument panel to illuminate unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because the areaaround it is frozen, push or lightly tap the lid.

✦In the case that you’d like to
know the out side ambient tem-
perature (OAT).
[The screen of outside ambient temper-
ature]
• The current outside ambient tempera-
ture is displayed.
• The outside ambient temperature is displayed by ‘---°C’, ‘---°F’ when ACC
becomes on in off status.
• 1 degree per 90 seconds rises when the vehicle speed is more than 30 km/h
and 1 degree per two seconds is
descended regardless of the vehicle
speed.
(But 0.5 degree in case of centigrade) • The outside ambient temperature is
able to descend the temperature dur-
ing the stop but is not able to ascend
the temperature.
✽ NOTICE
 The temperature showed in displayed
part of outside temperature is
designed to be close to actual outside
temperature. But the temperature
could be ascended by engine heat
while the vehicle is driven for long
time at low speed.

Driving your vehicle
R (reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
✽
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you
may damage the transaxle if you shift
into R while the vehicle is in motion,
except as explained in “Rocking the
Vehicle”, in this manual.
N (neutral)
With the gearshift in the N position, the
wheels and transaxle are not locked. The
vehicle will roll freely even on the slight-
est incline unless the parking brake or
service brakes are applied.
D (drive)
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 5-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing grades, depress the
accelerator fully, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear.(Continued)
• Before leaving the driver’ s seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (PARK) position. Set
the parking brake fully, shut the
engine off and take the key with
you. Unexpected and s udden
vehicle movement can occur if
you do not follow these precau-
tions in the order specified.
• Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle.
CAUTION
The transaxle may be damaged ifyou shift into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.
