Before closing the bonnet, return the support rod to its clip to prevent it fromrattling. Lower the bonnet until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position and let it drop. Make sure thatit locks into place.
!
CAUTION:
Make sure that the support rod has been released prior to closing the bonnet.
!WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that the bonnet is firmly latched before driving away. If it is not latched, the bonnet could fly open while the vehicle is being driven,causing a total loss of visibility, which might result in an acci- dent.

!WARNING:
o Fuel vapours are dangerous. Be- fore refuelling, always stop the engine and never allow sparks oropen flames near the filler area. If you need to replace the filler cap, use a genuine Hyundai replace-ment part. If you open the fuel filler cap dur- ing high ambient temperatures, aslight "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 Automotive fuels are flammable/ explosive materials. When refuel-ling, please note the followingguidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may re- sult in severe personal injury, se-vere burns or death by fire or explosion.
- Before refuelling always note the
location of the Emergency Petrol Shut-Off, if available, at the petrol station facility.

- Before touching the fuel nozzle
or fuel filler cap, you should eliminate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge by touching another metal part ofthe front of the vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other flammablesource.
- Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuelling.Do not touch, rub or slide against any item or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-ducing static electricity. Static electricity discharge can ignite fuel vapours resulting in explo-sion. If you must re-enter the vehicle, you should once again elimi-nate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge by touch- ing a metal part of the vehicle,away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other petrol source.

BOOT LID / TAIL GATE
B540A01MC-DAT
WARNING:
The boot lid or tail gate should always be kept completely closedwhile the vehicle is in motion. If it is left open or ajar, poisonous ex- haust gases may enter the car re-sulting in serious injury or death to the occupants. See additional warn- ings concerning exhaust gases onpage 2-2.
- When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con- tainer on the ground prior to refuelling. Static electricity dis- charge from the container canignite fuel vapours causing a fire. Once refuelling has begun, contact with the vehicle shouldbe maintained until the filling is complete. Use only portable fuel containers designed to carry andstore petrol.
- Do not use mobile phones
around a petrol station or whilerefuelling any vehicle. Electric current and/or electronic inter- ference from mobile phones canpotentially ignite fuel vapours causing a fire. If you must use your mobile phone use it in aplace away from the petrol sta- tion.- When refuelling always shut theengine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel vapours causing a fire. Always insure that the engine is OFF before andduring refuelling. Once refuel- ling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap and doorare securely closed, before start- ing the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a petrol station. DO NOT usematches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit ciga-rette in your vehicle while at a petrol station especially during refuelling. Automotive fuel ishighly flammable and can, when ignited, result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refuel- ling, leave the vicinity of thevehicle, and immediately con-tact the manager of the petrol station or contact the police and local fire department. Followany safety instructions they pro- vide.

B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condition-
ing system, keep all windows closedto keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. Thisincreases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility ofthe engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioning onceevery month for a few minutes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system in peak operatingcondition.
