WARNING

Refuelling

  • If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cause serious injuries. 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.

  • Fuel vapour is very hazardous and can explode. When refuelling, always stop the engine. Never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck.

    Always put out cigarettes and other smoking materials before refuelling.

WARNING

Before refuelling, be sure to check what type of fuel is used for your vehicle.

If you put diesel fuel into a petrol-powered vehicle or petrol into a diesel-powered vehicle, it may affect the fuel system and cause serious damage to the vehicle.

NOTICE

  • Make sure to refuel with diesel fuel only for the diesel engine vehicles.

  • Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refuelling.

  • 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. Have the fuel filter replaced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

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