WARNING
Automotive fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Read and follow all warnings posted at the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location of the Emergency Fuel Shut-Off, if available, at the
gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate the potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal part of the vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle, or other gas source, with your bare hand.
• Do not use mobile phones while refueling. Electric current and/or electronic
interference from cellular phones can potentially ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
• Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling. You can generate
a buildup of static electricity by touching, rubbing or sliding against any item or
fabric capable of producing static electricity. Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must re-enter 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 fuel source, with your bare
hand.
• 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 between your bare hand and the vehicle should be
maintained until the filling is complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers designed to carry and store fuel.
• When refueling, always shift the gear to the P (Park) position, apply the parking brake,
and set the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF position. Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the engine can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
• 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.
• Do not over-fill or top-off your vehicle tank, which can cause fuel spillage.
• 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.
• 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.
• Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
NOTICE
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces. It may damage the paint.
• If the fuel filler cap needs to be replaced, use only a genuine HYUNDAI cap or the
equivalent or the fuel system or emission control system may malfunction.
