until it “clicks”. This indicates that the cap is securely tightened.
2. Close the fuel filler lid and push it lightly and make sure that it issecurely closed.(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refuel-
ing since you can generate
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of produc-
ing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle or other gasoline source.
When using an approved portable fuel container, besure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
(Continued)WARNING - Refueling

Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe
personal injury, severe burns or
death by fire or explosion.
Read and follow all warning posted at the gas station facility.
Before refueling note the loca- tion of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station facility.
Before touching the fuel noz- zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
WARNING - Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or
skin and subject you to the
risk of fire and burns. Always
remove the fuel cap carefully
and slowly. If the cap is vent-
ing fuel or if you hear a hiss-
ing sound, wait until the con-
dition stops before complete-
ly removing the cap.
Do not "top off" after the noz- zle automatically shuts offwhen refueling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the eventof an accident.

Features of your vehicle
Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the
vehicle. If the engine is off or if the
power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.✽✽NOTICE
If the power steering drive belt
breaks or if the power steering
pump malfunctions, the steering
effort will greatly increase.
✽
✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods o utside in cold weather (below
-10°C(14°F)), the power steering may
require increased effort when the
engine is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing the accel-
erator 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
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the
steering wheel before you drive. You
can also raise it 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.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to
the extreme right or left for morethan 5 seconds with the engine running. Holding the steeringwheel for more than 5 secondsin either position may cause damage to the power steeringpump.
WARNING
Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving.
You may lose steering control
and cause severe personal
injury, death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is lockedin position.

headlights of the vehicles behind you
in nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls
the headlight glare from the vehicles
behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare
is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
MIRRORS
WARNING -

Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision
through the rear window.
OHM048037WARNING

ror while the vehicle is moving.This could result in loss of con-
trol, and an accident which
could cause death, serious
injury or property damage.
WARNING

and don’t install a wide mirror. It
could result in injury, during an
accident or deployment of the
air bag.
