WARNING:o The fuel cap must be tightened at least 3
clicks, otherwise " " light will illumi-
nate.
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Before
refueling, always stop the engine 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.
o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pressure
sound" may be heard. This is normal and
not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Failure
to replace or fully seat the fuel filler cap
will result in fuel vapors escaping into
the atmosphere and the MIL indicator
illuminating.
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.

This is used to select fresh outside air or
recirculation inside air.
To change the air intake control mode, (Fresh
mode, Recirculation mode) push the control
button.
FRESH MODE ( ) : The indicator light on
the button goes off when the air intake control

light on the button is illuminated when the air
intake control is recirculation mode.
With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooled
according to the function selected.With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from
within the passenger compartment will be drawn
through the heating system and heated or cooled
according to the function selected.
NOTE:o It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating in "Recirculation"
mode will give rise to fogging of the
windshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition, prolonged use
of the air conditioning with the "Recircu-
lation" mode selected may result in the
air within the passenger compartment
becoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON"
the air intake control will change to "Re-
circulation" mode (regardless of switch
position). This is normal operation.
