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.
