3Inside the vehicleTo open the trunk from inside the vehicle,
pull the trunk lid release lever.
Emergency trunk safety release
(if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency trunk release cable located inside
the trunk. The lever glows in the dark
when the trunk lid is closed. If someone
is inadvertently locked in the trunk,
pulling this handle will release the trunk
latch mechanism and open the trunk.
WARNING
- Exhaust
fumes
If you drive with the trunk lid open,
you will draw dangerous exhaust
fumes into your vehicle causing
serious injury or death to vehicle
occupants. Open trunk lids can also
dangerously obscure rear view
vision.
If you must drive with the trunk lid
open, keep the air vents open so
that additional outside air comes
into the vehicle.
WARNING
No one should be allowed to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or total-
ly latched and the person is unable
to get out, severe injury or death
could occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure to
cold weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous location
in the event of a crash because it is
not a protected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
CAUTION
 If a person is locked in the trunk,
they can pull the emergencyrelease to open the trunk lid.
 We recommend that cars be kept locked and keys be kept out ofthe reach of children, and that parents teach their children aboutthe dangers of playing in trunks.

NOTICE• Make sure to refuel with unleaded
fuel only.
• Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refueling. A loose
fuel filler cap may cause the “Check
Engine (Malfuntion indicator, )”
light in the instrument panel to illumi-
nate unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler cap requires replace- ment, use only a genuine Kia cap or
the equivalent specified for your vehi-
cle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction of the
fuel system or emission control sys-
tem.

spilled on painted surfaces may dam-
age the paint.

ed, result in fire.
 If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station and
then contact the local fire depart-
ment or 911.
