WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Be-
fore refueling, always stop the engine
and never smoke or allow sparks and
open flames near the filler area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
filler cap properly installed, flammable
vapors and gasoline could leak out in
dangerous situations such as a colli-
sion or rollover. If the filler cap must
be replaced, only use genuine Hyundai
replacement parts.o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an acci-
dent
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise the "
" light will illuminate

!
WARNING:
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 Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully.
- 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.
- Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything
that can produce static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can ig-
nite fuel vapors resulting in explo-
sion.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground while refueling.
Static electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. While starting refuel-
ing contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station. The electric current
or electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks by electrical equip-
ment of the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. After refuel-
ing, check to make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely closed, and
then start the engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light ciga-
rettes around a gas station. Auto-
motive fuels are flammable.

all four tires with the tire and wheel of the
same size, type, tread, brand and load-
carrying capacity.
