Kia Picanto: Fuel filler lid / Gasoline reservoir in the engine
room
If your vehicle is FFV (Flex fuel vehicle),
it needs to be checked and the reservoir
should be filled in with the gasoline
for cold start when the outside temperature
is low (below 20°C).
The nominal capacity of the gasoline
reservoir for cold start is 0.8 liters and
the reservoir is located in the engine
room.
Fill in the reservoir with gasoline for
cold start until it reaches the MAX line.
If the gasoline overflows, clean up the
overflowed fuel with the towel.
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 warnings 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 approved 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”
on page 1-03 suggested in
section 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,
Kia recommends to contact
an authorized 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.
- After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
