WARNING
To avoid injury from sharp
objects, it is recommended that
protective gloves be worn when
opening the fuel filler door man-
ually.
WARNING
- Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cause serious injuries.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Fuel vapor is very hazardous
and can explode. When refuel-
ing, always stop the engine.
Never allow sparks or open
flames near the filler neck.
Always put out cigarettes and
other smoking materials
before refueling.

Knowing your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE• Make sure to refuel with gasoline
(unleaded fuel) only for the gaso-
line engine vehicles.
• Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refuel-
ing.
• If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent specified
for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel
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)
• A loose fuel filler cap may cause
the “Check Engine” (Malfunction
Indicator) light in the instrument
panel to illuminate unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because the area
around it is frozen, push or lightly
tap the lid.
When fuel filler lid does not open
with the release button1. Open the trunk.

backward.✽ ✽
NOTICEAlways 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 slightest incline, unless
the parking brake or service brakes
are applied.
D (drive)This is the normal forward driving
position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a 5-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transaxle will auto-
matically downshift to the next lower
gear.
