Features of your vehicle
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the “Fuel requirements”
suggested in chapter 1.
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.
WARNING- Cell phonefires
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric current
and/or electronic interference
from cellular phones can poten-
tially ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.
WARNING- Smoking
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
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
WARNING- Refueling & Vehicle fires
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.CAUTION- Exterior paint
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Anytype of fuel spilled on paintedsurfaces may damage the paint.
WARNING- Portable fuel
container
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure
to place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete. Use
only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.

Fuel Economy
Range (1)
The range to empty is the estimat-ed distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range : 1 ~ 999 km or 1~999 mi.
If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1mi.), the trip computer will dis-
play “---” as distance to empty.
If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correctly.
The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters
(1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.Average Fuel Economy (2)
The average fuel economy is calcu-lated by the total driving distance
and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
- Fuel economy range: 0.0 ~ 99.9L/100km or MPG
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.
Manual reset
To clear the average fuel economy
manually, press the RESET/ but-
ton on the steering wheel for more
than 1 second when the average fuel
economy is displayed.
