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 auto-
matically shuts 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.
!
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.
- 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.

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.
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 open while the vehicle is being
driven, causing a total loss of visibil-
ity, 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.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the support rod has been
released prior to closing the hood.

WARNING:
o During cruise-control driving with a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not shift
into neutral without depressing the
clutch pedal, or the engine will be
overrevved. If this happens, depress
the clutch pedal or release the main
switch.
o With the cruise control engaged, when
the brake pedal is applied, it is normal
to hear the cruise control system de-
activate. This is an indication of nor-
mal system operation.
o During normal cruise control opera-
tion, when the "SET/COAST" or "
− −− −
−/
SET" is activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise con-
trol will energize after approximately
3 seconds. This delay is normal.

B740D01A-AATOperation Tipso 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 conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic,
shift to a lower gear. This increases
engine speed, which in turn increases
the speed of the air conditioning com-
pressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condition-
ing off to avoid the possibility of the
engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when
the air conditioning is not used regu-
larly, run the air conditioning once ev-
ery month for a few minutes. This will
help circulate the lubricants and keep
your system in peak operating condi-
tion.
B740C01S-AATDehumidified HeatingFor dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch. The
air conditioning indicator light should
come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to the "Fresh"
mode (
).
o Set the air flow control to the "Face" (
).
o Adjust the fan control to the desired
speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one
of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to pro-
vide the desired amount of warmth.
