HTB067WARNING:
The tail gate should always be kept
completely closed while the vehicle
is in motion. If it is left open or ajar,
poisonous exhaust gases may en-

Fuel vapours are dangerous. Before
refuelling, turn off the engine and
never allow sparks, lit cigarettes or
open flames near the filler area. When
releasing the filler cap, a small
amount of residual pressure may
generate a slight hissing sound which
is not indicative of an abnormality. In
the event of the fuel filler cap requir-
ing replacement, only a Genuine
Hyundai replacement part should be
used to prevent fuel leakage. o The tail gate can be locked or un-
locked with a key.
o The tail gate is opened by pulling the
outside handle up, raising the tail
gate manually.
o To close, lower the tail gate, then
press down on it until it is closed. To
be sure the tail gate is fully closed,
always try to pull it up again without
using the outside handle.
