Kia Niro: Fuel filler lid / Opening the fuel filler lid

1. The fuel filler lid must be opened from inside the vehicle by pushing the fuel filler lid opener.

✽ NOTICE

If the fuel filler lid does not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Do not pry on the lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an approved de-icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

2. Pull the fuel filler lid (1) out to fully open.

3. To remove the fuel tank cap (2), turn it counterclockwise. You may hear a hissing noise as the pressure inside the tank equalizes.

4. Place the cap on the fuel filler lid.
