- Do not use cellular phones
around a gas station. The elec-
tric current or electronic inter-
ference from cellular phones
can ignite fuel vapors and cause
a fire.
- When refueling, always turn the
engine off. Sparks by electrical
equipment of the engine can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. After refueling, check to
make sure the fuel filler cap is
securely closed, and then start
the engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light
cigarettes around a gas station.
Automotive fuels are flam-
mable.

WARNING:
o Fuel vapors are dangerous. Be-
fore refueling, always stop the en-
gine and never allow sparks or
open flames near the filler area. If
you need to replace the filler cap,
use a genuine Hyundai replace-
ment part. If you open the fuel
filler cap during high ambient tem-
peratures, a slight "pressure
sound" may be heard. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler
cap, turn it slowly.

o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, please note the following
guidelines carefully.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle
or fuel filler cap, have one's
hands in contact with metal
parts away from the filler neck
to discharge static electricity.
- Do not get back in the vehicle
while refueling. Do not operate
anything that can produce static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors
resulting in an explosion.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer, be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground while refu-
eling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. While starting refueling,
contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
