Electric Power Steering (EPS)
This system assists you with steering
the vehicle.
If the engine is turned off or if the
EPS becomes inoperative, you may
still steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the EPS
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽✽
NOTICE
 The steering effort may be high immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return
to its normal condition.
 A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is placed in the ON or
LOCK/OFF position.
 A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
 When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.Tilt steering/Telescope steering

on the steering wheel column and
adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3, if equipped). Move

2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light ( )
comes ON, turn the engine off and
check or retighten the fuel filler cap

Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire. (Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you
must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source,
with your bare hand.(Continued)

✽✽NOTICE
 Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the "Fuel
Requirements" suggested in the
Introduction chapter.
 Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
(Continued)
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.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the eventof an accident.
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a gen-
uine HYUNDAI cap or the equiv-
alent specified for your vehicle.An incorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunctionof the fuel system or emission
control system.
CAUTION
(Continued)
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sureto place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact between
your bare hand and the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Sparks produced byelectrical components relatedto the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.(Continued)
