CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The useof leaded fuel is detrimental to thecatalytic converter and will damagethe engine control system’s oxygensensor and affect emission control.Never add any fuel system cleaningagents to the fuel tank other thanwhat has been specified. (Kia recom‐mends to consult an authorized Kiadealer/service partner for details.)
WARNING
•Do not "top off" after the nozzleautomatically shuts off when re‐fueling.
•Always check that the fuel cap isinstalled securely to prevent fuelspillage in the event of an acci‐dent.

CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or water en‐ter the tank. This would make it nec‐essary to drain it out and to bleedthe lines to avoid jamming the injec‐tion pump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION
nDiesel Fuel (if equipped withDPF)
It is recommended to use the regula‐ted automotive diesel fuel for dieselvehicle equipped with the DPF sys‐tem.If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam‐aged and white smoke can be emit‐ted.

•If pressurized fuel sprays out, itcan cover your clothes or skin andthus subject you to the risk of fireand burns. Always remove the fuelcap carefully and slowly. If the capis venting fuel or if you hear ahissing sound, wait until the condi‐tion stops before completely re‐moving the cap.
•Do not "top off" after the nozzleautomatically shuts off when re‐fueling.
•Always check that the fuel cap isinstalled securely to prevent fuelspillage in the event of an acci‐dent.
WARNING
nRefueling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable ma‐terials. When refueling, please notethe following guidelines carefully.Failure to follow these guidelinesmay result in severe personal injury,
(Continued)
(Continued)
severe burns or death by fire or ex‐plosion.•Read and follow all warning postedat the gas station facility.
•Before refueling note the locationof the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at the gas stationfacility.
•Before touching the fuel nozzle,you should eliminate potentiallydangerous static electricity dis‐charge by touching another metalpart of the vehicle, a safe distanceaway from the fuel filler neck,nozzle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not get back into a vehicle onceyou have begun refueling since youcan generate static electricity bytouching, rubbing or sliding againstany item or fabric (polyester, sat‐in, nylon, etc.) capable of produc‐ing static electricity. Static elec‐tricity discharge can ignite fuel va‐pors resulting in rapid burning. Ifyou must reenter the vehicle, youshould once again eliminate poten‐tially dangerous static electricitydischarge by touching a metal partof the vehicle, away from the fuelfiller neck, nozzle or other gasolinesource.
•When using an approved portablefuel container, be sure to place thecontainer on the ground prior torefueling. Static electricity dis‐charge from the container can ig‐nite fuel vapors causing a fire.Once refueling has begun, contactwith the vehicle should be main‐tained until the filling is complete.Use only portable plastic fuel con‐tainers designed to carry andstore gasoline.

•Do not use cellular phones whilerefueling. Electric current and/orelectronic interference from cellu‐lar phones can potentially ignitefuel vapors causing a fire.
•When refueling, always shut theengine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel vaporscausing a fire. Once refueling iscomplete, check to make sure thefiller cap and filler door are secure‐ly closed, before starting the en‐gine.
•DO NOT use matches or a lighterand DO NOT SMOKE or leave a litcigarette in your vehicle while at agas station especially during refu‐eling. Automotive fuel is highlyflammable 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 themanager of the gas station andthen contact the local fire depart‐ment. Follow any safety instruc‐tions they provide.
