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.

WARNING
•The side air bag is supplemental tothe driver's and the passenger'sseat belt systems and is not asubstitute for them. Thereforeyour seat belts must be worn at alltimes while the vehicle is in mo‐tion. The air bags deploy only incertain side impact conditions se‐vere enough to cause significantinjury to the vehicle occupants.
•For best protection from the sideair bag system and to avoid beinginjured by the deploying side airbag, both front seat occupantsshould sit in an upright positionwith the seat belt properly fas‐tened. The driver's hands shouldbe placed on the steering wheel atthe 9:00 and 3:00 positions. Thepassenger's arms and handsshould be placed on their laps.
•Do not use any accessory seatcovers.
•Use of seat covers could reduce orprevent the effectiveness of thesystem.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•To prevent unexpected deploy‐ment of the side air bag that mayresult in personal injury, avoid im‐pact to the side impact sensorwhen the ignition key is on.
•If the seat or seat cover is dam‐aged, have the system serviced bya professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Never place or insert any object in‐to any small opening near side air‐bag labels attached to the vehicleseats. When the air bag deploys,the object may affect the deploy‐ment and result in unexpected ac‐cident or bodily harm.
WARNING
nNo attaching objects
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not place any objects over theair bag or between the air bag andyourself. Also, do not attach anyobjects around the area the air baginflates such as the door, side doorglass, front and rear pillar.
•Do not place any objects betweenthe door and the seat. They maybecome dangerous projectiles ifthe side air bag inflates.
•Do not install any accessories onthe side or near the side air bags.

•If the installation location or angleof the sensors is altered in anyway, the air bags may deploywhen they should not or they maynot deploy when they should,causing severe injury or death.Therefore, do not try to performmaintenance on or around the airbag sensors. Have the systemserviced by a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Problems may arise if the sensorinstallation angles are changed dueto the deformation of the frontbumper, body or B pillar and C pil‐lars where side collision sensorsare installed. In this case, have thesystem serviced by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.

•Your vehicle has been designed toabsorb impact and deploy the airbag(s) in certain collisions. Instal‐ling bumper guards or replacing abumper with non-genuine partsmay adversely affect your vehiclescollision and air bag deploymentperformance.
