WARNING

1. Before closing the hood, check the

following:

Always double check to be sure

that the hood is firmly latched

before driving away. Check there

is no hood open warning light or

latched. Driving with the hood

opened may cause a total loss of

visibility, which might result in an

accident.

ensure that all obstructions

are removed from the hood

opening. Closing the hood

with an obstruction present in

the hood opening may result

in property damage or severe

personal injury.

• All filler caps in engine compart-

ment must be correctly installed.

• Gloves, rags or any other com-

bustible material must be removed

from the engine compartment.

Closing the fuel filler door

(Continued)

1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it

clockwise until it “clicks” one time.

• Do not use cellular phones

while refueling. Electric cur-

rent and/or electronic interfer-

ence from cellular phones can

potentially ignite fuel vapors

and cause a fire.

•

When refueling, always move

the shift lever to the P (Park)

position (for automatic transaxle/

dual clutch transmission) or first

gear or R (Reverse, for manual

transaxle), set the parking brake,

and place the ignition switch to

the LOCK/OFF position. Sparks

produced by electrical compo-

nents related to the engine can

ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.

2. To close the fuel filler door, press

the edge of the fuel filler door.

Make sure it is securely closed.

WARNING

• Do not get back into a vehicle

once you have begun refuel-

ing. You can generate a build-

up of static electricity by touch-

ing, 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 danger-

ous static electricity discharge

by touching a metal part of the

vehicle, away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle or other gasoline

source, with your bare hand.

Gasoline is highly flammable

and explosive. Failure to follow

these guidelines may result in

SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• 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.

• Read and follow all warnings

posted at the gas station.

• Before refueling, note the

location of the Emergency

Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,

at the gas station.

• Before touching the fuel noz-

zle, you should eliminate the

potential build-up of static

electricity by touching a metal

part of the vehicle, a safe dis-

tance away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle, or other gas

source, with your bare hand.

Information

(Continued)

• Use only approved portable

plastic fuel containers designed

to carry and store gasoline.

• 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.

Make sure to refuel your vehicle

according to the "Fuel Requirements"

suggested in the Introduction chapter.

• 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.

NOTICE

• Do not spill fuel on the exterior

surfaces of the vehicle. Any type

of fuel spilled on painted sur-

faces may damage the paint.

• Do not over-fill or top-off your

vehicle tank, which can cause

gasoline spillage.

• 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.

• Always check that the fuel cap

is installed securely to pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event

of an accident.

• If a fire breaks out during refu-

eling, leave the vicinity of the

vehicle, and immediately con-

tact the manager of the gas

station and then contact the

local fire department. Follow

any safety instructions they

provide.
