Contents:

The Kia Seltos fuel filler door is opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up the fuel-filler door opener located on the front floor area near the driver's seat.

Opening the fuel filler door

If needed, spray around the lid with an approved de-icer fluid, but do not use radiator anti-freeze. You may also move the Kia Seltos to a warmer place and allow the ice to melt naturally.
