FUEL FILLER DOOR

Closing the fuel filler door

1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise until

it “clicks” one time. This indicates that

the cap is securely tightened.

2. Close the fuel filler door and push it

lightly making sure that it is securely

closed.

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 com-

pletely removing the cap.

refueling.

If the fuel filler door does not open

because ice has formed around it, tap

lightly or push on the door to break the

ice and release the door. Do not pry on

the door. If necessary, spray around the

door 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.

time, otherwise the Check Engine

WARNING - Refueling dan-

gers

Use only approved portable plas-

tic fuel containers designed to

carry and store gasoline.

• 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 fab-

ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)

capable of producing static elec-

tricity. Static electricity discharge

can ignite fuel vapors resulting in

rapid burning. If you must re-

enter the vehicle, you should

once again eliminate potentially

dangerous static electricity dis-

charge by touching a metal part

of the vehicle, away from the fuel

filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-

line source.

Automotive fuels are flammable

materials. When refueling, please

note the following guidelines care-

fully. Failure to follow these guide-

lines may result in severe personal

injury, severe burns or death by fire

or explosion.

• Do not use cellular phones while

refueling. Electric current and/or

electronic interference from cel-

lular 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.

• Read and follow all warnings

posted at the gas station facility.

• Before refueling, note the loca-

tion 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 dis-

charge by touching another metal

part of the vehicle, a safe dis-

tance away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

• 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.

• When

using

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.

CAUTION

• If a fire breaks out during refuel-

ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-

cle, and immediately contact the

manager of the gas station and

then contact the local fire depart-

ment or 911. Follow any safety

instructions they provide.

• Make sure to refuel your vehicle

according to the "Fuel require-

ments" suggested in section 1.

• If the fuel filler cap requires

replacement, use only a genuine

HYUNDAI 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.

• 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 pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event of

an accident.
