2. Lower the hood until it is about 12

inches (30 cm) above the closed posi

tion and let it drop. Make sure that it
locks into place.

3. Then double check to be sure the

hood is secure.
• If the hood can be raise slightly, it is

not properly engaged.

• Open it again and close it with a lit

tle more force.

CAUTION

Hood obstruction
Before closing the hood, ensure that all
obstructions are removed from the hood
opening. Closing the hood with an
obstruction present in the hood opening
may result in severe personal injury or
property damage.

W ARNING

Fire risk
Do not leave gloves, rags or any other
combustible material in the motor com

partment. Doing so may cause a heat-
induced fire.

W ARNING

Unsecured hood
Always double check to be sure that the
hood is firmly latched before driving
away. If it is not latched, the hood could
fly open while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.

4. To remove the cap turn the fuel filler

cap (2) counterclockwise.

5. Refuel as needed.

CAUTION

Before refueling, be sure to check what
type of fuel is used for your vehicle. If
you put diesel fuel into a gasoline-pow

ered vehicle or gasoline into a diesel-
powered vehicle, it may affect the fuel
system and cause serious damage to the
vehicle.

Closing the fuel filler door

1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise

until it "clicks" one time. This indicates
that the cap is securely tightened.

2. Close the fuel filler door and push it

lightly and make sure that it is
securely closed.

W ARNING

Refueling
Always remove the fuel cap carefully
and slowly. If the cap is venting fuel or if
you hear a hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before completely
removing the cap.

If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and subject
you to the risk of fire and burns.

NOTICE

When refueling on unlevel ground, the
fuel gauge may not point to the F posi

tion. It is not a malfunction. If you move
your vehicle to a level ground, the fuel
gauge will move to the full position.

NOTICE

Tighten the cap until it clicks one time,
otherwise the fuel cap open warning
indicator light will appear.

Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.

W ARNING

Fire/explosion risk
Read and follow all warnings posted at
the gas station facility. Failure to follow
all warnings will result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death due to fire
or explosion.

W ARNING

Static electricity
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you

should eliminate potentially danger

ous static electricity discharge by
touching another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from the
fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas
source.

• Do not get back into a vehicle once

you have begun refueling since you
can generate static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric (polyester, satin,

OSK3048050NR

Features of your vehicle

Fuel filler door

nylon, etc.) capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity dis

charge can ignite fuel vapors resulting
in rapid burning. If you must reenter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other
gasoline source.

W ARNING

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 contain

ers designed to carry and store gasoline.

W ARNING

Cell phone fires
Do not use cellular phones while refuel

ing. Electric current and/or electronic
interference from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire.

W ARNING

Refueling & Vehicle fires
When refueling, always shut the engine
off. Sparks produced by electrical com

ponents related to the engine can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refuel

ing is complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are securely
closed, before starting the engine.

W ARNING

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 result in fire when ignited.

Make sure to refuel your vehicle accord

ing to "Fuel requirements" on page 1-2.

If the fuel filler cap requires replace

ment, 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.

CAUTION

Exterior paint
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces
of the vehicle. Any type of fuel spilled on
painted surfaces may damage the paint.

Steering wheel

The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with electronic power steering.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)

Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. If the engine
is off or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.

The EPS is controlled by the power
steering control unit which senses the
steering wheel torque and vehicle speed
to command the motor.

The steering effort becomes heavier as
the vehicle's speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle's speed
decreases for better control of the steer

ing wheel.

Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Visit an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not

appear.

• The steering effort is high immedi

ately after turning the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button on.
This happens as the EPS system per

forms the diagnostics. When the diag

nostics is completed, the steering effort
will return to its normal condi

tion.

• A click noise may be heard from the

EPS relay after the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button is
turned to the ON or LOCK position.

• The steering effort increases if the

steering wheel is rotated continu

ously when the vehicle is not in motion.
However, after a few minutes, it will
return to its normal conditions.

• If the Electric Power Steering System

does not operate normally, the warn

ing light will appear on the instrument
cluster. The steering wheel may
become difficult to control or operate
abnormally. In this case, have the sys

tem inspected by a professional work

shop. Visit an authorized Kia dealer.

• When you operate the steering wheel

in low temperature, abnormal noise
could occur. If temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal
condition.

Tilt & telescopic steering wheel

A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive

You can also raise it to give your legs
more room when you exit and enter the
vehicle.

The steering wheel should be positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru

ment panel warning lights and gauges.
