Warming the front seat (if equipped)
The front seats can be electrically heated
individually when the ignition switch is
ON.
When you depress the seat warmer
switch, a thermostat regulates seat tem-
perature. To deactivate the heating sys-
tem, depress the switch once again.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The seat warmer may not operate if
ambient temperature is warm enough.
• If the seat warmer doesn't work when the ambient temperature is below
24°C (75°F), have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
• When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such as thinner, ben-
zene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so
may damage the surface of the heater
or seats.
• To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not place blankets, cush-
ions or seat covers on the seats while
the seat warmer is in operation.
• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats equipped with seat warmers.
Damage to the seat warming compo-
nents could occur.

Knowing your vehicle
✽
✽NOTICE
• Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel requirements"
suggested in section 5.
• Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refueling. A
loose fuel filler cap may cause the
“Check fuel filler cap ( )” light in
the instrument panel to illuminate
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.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior sur- faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel
spilled on painted surfaces may dam-
age the paint. (Continued)
DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a
gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is high-
ly flammable and can, when ignit-
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.(Continued)
Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
