Airbag non-inflation conditions
 In collisions, the vehicle safety
belts are sufficient to protect the
vehicle occupants and the airbags
may not deploy. In some cases,
deploying airbags in low-speed
collisions can cause a secondary
impact to the occupants (light abra-
sions, cuts, burns, etc.), or loss of
vehicle control. 
Airbags may not inflate in rear col-
lisions, because occupants are
moved backward by the force of
the impact. In this case, the airbags
do not provide proper protection. 
Front airbags may not inflate in
side impact collision, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus front airbag
deployment does not provide prop-
er protection.
However, side or curtain airbags (if
equipped) may inflate depending
on the intensity, vehicle speed and
angles of impact.

Airbag warning lightThe purpose of airbag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert
you of a potential problem with your
airbag - Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the indicator light should blink or
illuminate for approximately 6 sec-
onds, then go off.
Have the system checked if:

The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
 The light stays on after the engine
starts.
 The light comes on while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) service Your Supplemental Restraint System
is virtually maintenance-free. There
are no parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
If an airbag ever inflates, the airbag
must be replaced. Do not try to
remove or discard the airbag by
yourself. This must be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
 If the airbag warning indicator light
alerts you to a problem, have the
airbag system checked as soon as
possible. Otherwise, your airbag
system may be ineffective.

Closing the hood1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
• All filler caps in engine compart- ment must be correctly installed.
 Gloves, rags or any other com- bustible material must be
removed from the engine com-
partment.
2. Secure the support rod in its clip.
3. Lower the hood to about 12 inches (30 cm) height and then let it drop
to properly lock in place.
Make sure the hood is properly
locked before driving.
FUEL FILLER LID 1. Stop the engine.
2. To open the fuel filler lid, pull the release lever. 3. Pull the fuel filler lid out to open.
4. To remove the cap, turn the fuel
tank cap counter-clockwise.
5. Refuel as needed.
6. To install the cap, turn it clockwise until it “clicks”. This indicates that
the cap is securely tightened.
7. Close the fuel filler lid and push it lightly and make sure that it is
securely closed.
1LDA2018
1LDA2019
CAUTION
• Before closing the hood, makesure that all engine parts and
tools have been removed from
the engine area and that no
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.
CAUTION
To avoid injury from sharp
edges, it is recommended that
protective gloves be worn if
there is a need to open the fuel
filler door manually.

✽ ✽
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.

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.
