WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before driv-
ing away. If it is not latched, the hood
could fly 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
completely into the hole provided in
the hood whenever you inspect the
engine compartment. This will pre-
vent the hood from falling and possi-
bly 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.

WARNING:
If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
eling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
portable fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station or while refueling any
vehicle. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If you
must use your cellular phone use
it in a place away from the gas
station.
!
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous.
Before 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, flam-
mable vapors and gasoline could
leak out in dangerous situations such
as a collision or rollover. If the filler
cap must be replaced, only use genu-
ine 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.
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 nozzle au-
tomatically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe per-
sonal injury, severe burns or death
by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Gaso-
line Shut-Off, if available, at the
gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching an-
other metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors re-
sulting in explosion.

WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that
the engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are se-
curely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in explosion by
flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the man-
ager of the gas station or contact
the police and local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.
!TRUNK LID/TAIL GATEB540A01MC-GAT
