Remote Tail Gate Release
To open the tail gate without using the key, pull

To close, lower the tail gate, then press down on
it until it locks. To be sure the tail gate is securely
fastened, always try to pull it up again.
HGK103
WARNING:The tail gate should always be kept com-
pletely closed while the vehicle is in motion.
If it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases may enter the car resulting in serious
illness or death to the occupants. See addi-
tional warnings concerning exhaust gases
on page 2-2.
WARNING:o The fuel cap must be tightened at least
3 clicks, otherwise " " light will
illuminate.
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 re-
placement part.
o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pres-
sure 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 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.
!
NOTE:If the fuel-filler lid will not open because ice
has formed around it, tap lightly or push on
the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Do
not pry on the lid. If necessary, spray around
the lid with an approved deicer fluid (do not
use radiator anti-freeze) or move the ve-
hicle to a warm place and allow the ice to
melt.
