CAUTION
• Before closing the hood, makesure that all engine parts and
tools have been removed from

one’s hands are near the hood
opening.
 Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible materi-
al in the engine compartment.
Doing so may cause a heat-
induced fire.

✽ ✽
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.
 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.
(Continued)
 When refueling always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling
is complete, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap and
door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
 Do not light any fire around a gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cig-
arette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explo-
sion by flames.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 If a fire breaks out during refu-eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station or contact the police
and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions
they provide.

Auto fuel cutoff switch (if equipped)The auto fuel cutoff switch is located
on the driver’s side of the engine
compartment. In the event of a colli-
sion or sudden impact, the auto fuel
cutoff device cuts off the fuel supply.
If this device is activated, it must be
reset by pressing in on the top of the
switch before the engine can be
restarted.
MIRRORS Outside rearview mirror Be sure to adjust mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand outside
rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be
adjusted remotely with the control
levers or remote switch, depending
on the type your vehicle has. The
mirror heads can be folded back to
prevent damage during an automatic
car wash or when passing in a nar-
row street.
✽ ✽NOTICEDo not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the surface of
the glass. If ice should restrict move-
ment of the mirror, do not force the
mirror for adjustment. To remove
ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge
or soft cloth with very warm water.
CAUTION
 The right outside rearview
mirror is convex. Objects seen
in the mirror are closer than
they appear.
 Use your interior rearview mir- ror or direct observation to
determine the actual distance
of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
WARNING
Before resetting the auto fuel
cutoff switch, the fuel line
should be checked for fuel
leaks.

Manual type
Make this adjustment before you
start driving and while the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of
vehicles behind you during night
driving.
Remember that you lose some
rearview clarity in the night position. Electric type (if equipped)
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor mounted in the
mirror senses the light level around
the vehicle, and through a chemical
reaction, automatically controls the
headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into reverse (R), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.When the ignition switch is ON, the
automatic-dimming function will turn
on automatically.
Press the ON/OFF button(
➀) to turn
the automatic-dimming function off.
The mirror indicator light will turn off.
Press the ON/OFF button(➀) once
again to turn the automatic-dimming
function on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.
✽ ✽ NOTICEWhen cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

level when you have to use the
power socket while using air-con-
ditioner or heater.

plugged into a vehicle’s power out-
let. These devices may cause exces-
sive audio static and malfunctions
in other electronic systems or
devices used in your vehicle.
