FLOOR MAT ANCHOR
HOOD RELEASE
!
!
CAUTION:
Make sure that the support rod has been
released prior to closing the hood.
!
WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that the
hood is firmly latched before driving
away. If it is not latched, the hood could
open while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
o The support rod must be inserted com-
pletely into the hole provided in the hood
whenever you inspect the engine com-
partment. This will prevent the hood
from falling and possibly injuring you.
o Do not move the vehicle with the hood in
the raised position, as vision is obstructed
and the hood could fall or be damaged.
B571A03Y-AATWhen using a floor mat on the front floor
carpet, make sure it attaches to the floor mat
anchor in your vehicle. This keeps the floor
mat from sliding forward.
HXGS263
WARNING:
o Make sure the floor mat is properly
placed on the floor carpet. If the floor
mat slips and interferes with the move-
ment of the pedals during driving, it
may cause an accident.
o Don't put a additional floor mat on the
top of the fixed mat, otherwise the ad-
ditional mat may slide forward and inter-
fere with the movement of the pedals. 2. Push the safety catch lever to the left and
lift the hood.
3. Hold the hood open with the support rod.
Before closing the hood, return the support rod
to its clip to prevent it from rattling. Lower the
hood until it is about 1 ft. (30 cm) above the
closed position and let it drop. Make sure that
it locks into place.

B560A01A-1The fuel-filler lid may be opened from inside the
vehicle by pulling up on the fuel-filler lid opener
located on the front floor area on the left side
of the car.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 de-icer fluid (do not
use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle
to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.REMOTE FUEL-FILLER LID RELEASE
!
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
"pressure sound" may be heard. This is
normal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
HLC2016-2
!
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Fail-
ure to replace or fully seat the fuel filler
cap will result in fuel vapors escaping
into the atmosphere and the check
engine "MIL" indicator illuminating.
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explo-
sive materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
o 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.
o Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything that
can produce static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can ignite fuel va-
pors resulting in explosion.
o When using a portable fuel container
be sure to place the container on the
ground while refueling. Static electric-
ity discharge from the container can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. While
starting refueling contact should be
maintained until the filling is complete.

o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-
ens, another more powerful signal near the
same frequency may begin to play. This is
because your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be-
ing received from several directions can
cause distortion or fluttering. This can be
caused by a direct and reflected signal
from the same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies. If this
occurs, select another station until the con-
dition has passed.
B750B03Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way
radioWhen a cellular phone is used inside the vehi-
cle, noise may be produced from the audio
equipment. This does not mean that something
is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and your
radio can disturb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the tre-
ble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.

WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.
