Kia Carens: Fuel filler lid / Closing the fuel filler lid
1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise until it “clicks”. This indicates that
the cap is securely tightened.
2. To close the lid, press the edge of the lid. Make sure it is securely closed.
✽ NOTICE
When refueling fully at an up hill, the fuel gauge may not point to the 1
(or F) position.
It is not a malfunction. If you move your vehicle to a level ground, the fuel
gauge will move to the full position.
WARNING - Refueling
- If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or skin and
thus subject you to the risk of fire and burns. 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.
- Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refueling.
- Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
WARNING - Refueling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable materials. When refueling, please note the
following guidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in
severe personal injury, severe burns or death by fire or explosion.
- Read and follow all warning posted at the gas station facility.
- Before refueling note the location of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off,
if available, at the gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially dangerous
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, nylon, etc.) capable of producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge 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.
- 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 portable plastic fuel containers designed to carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or electronic
interference from cellular phones can potentially ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.
- 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.
- 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.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling, leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the manager of the gas station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow any safety instructions they provide.
CAUTION
- Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the "Fuel requirements"
suggested in chapter 1.
- If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, please make sure that you
use parts designed for replacement in your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler
cap can result in a serious malfunction of the fuel system or emission control
system. For more detailed information, we recommend that you contact an authorized
Kia dealer.
- Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces may damage the paint.
- After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
The fuel-filler lid must be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on the
fuel-filler lid opener located on the front floor area on the driver’s seat.
