Use only approved portable plas-
tic fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
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 fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
When using an approved portable fuel container, be sure to
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 with the vehicle
should be maintained until the
filling is complete.
(Continued)WARNING - Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
Read and follow all warningsposted at the gas station facility.
Before refueling, note the loca- tion of the Emergency Gasoline
Shut-Off, if available, at the gas
station facility.
Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses a motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If the
engine is off or if the power steering sys-
tem becomes inoperative, the vehicle
may still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is con-
trolled by a power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering assist increases as the
vehicle’s speed increases and as the
vehicle’s speed decreases for optimum
steering assist decreases.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not illu-
minate.
• The steering gets heavy immediately after turning the ignition switch on.
This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When the
diagnostics is completed, the steering
wheel will return to its normal condi-
tion.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is
turned to 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.
• If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normally, the warn-
ing light will illuminate on the instru-
ment cluster. The steering wheel may
become difficult to operate due to
increasing steering effort. Take your
vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the vehicle checked as
soon as possible. (Continued)
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normal-ly, the warning light will illuminateon the instrument cluster. Thesteering wheel may become diffi- cult to control or operate abnor-mally. Take your vehicle to anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer andhave the vehicle checked as soonas possible.
When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnor-mal noise could occur. If tempera-ture rises, the noise will disap-pear. This is a normal condition.
When the vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheel all theway to the left or right continu- ously, the steering wheelbecomes heavier from the end.This is normal and not system malfunction. As time passes, thesteering wheel will return to its normal condition.

Remote control
Electric type
The electric remote control mirror switch
allows you to adjust the position of the
left and right side view mirrors. To adjust
the position of either mirror, the ignition
switch should be in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, or engine is running. Push the
switch (1) to R or L to select the right side
mirror or the left side mirror, then press a
corresponding point on the mirror adjust-
ment control to position the selected mir-
ror up, down, left or right.
After the adjustment, put the switch into
the neutral (center) position to prevent
inadvertent adjustment.
CAUTION
The mirrors stop moving whenthey reach the maximum adjust-ing angles, but the motor contin- ues to operate while the switch ispressed. Do not press the switchlonger than necessary, the motor may be damaged.
Do not attempt to adjust the side view mirror by hand. Doing somay damage the mirror.

Features of your vehicle
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank.
The fuel tank capacity is given in
section 8.The fuel gauge is supplement-
ed by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is near
empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light
may come on earlier than usual due to
the movement of fuel in the tank.
Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer
controlling the driver information system.
It displays information related to driving
on the LCD screen when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. If the battery
is disconnected, then all stored driving
information (except odometer) is reset.
WARNING- Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
E level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damag-ing the catalytic converter.ORB045034NORBC040035

Distance to empty (mi. or km)
This mode indicates the estimated dis-
tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 1 mile
(1 km), "---" will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 1 to
999 miles (1 to 999 km).Average fuel consumption (if equipped)
(MPG or
l/100 km)
This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average econ-
omy reset. The total fuel used is calculat-
ed from the fuel consumption input. For
an accurate calculation, drive more than
0.03 miles (50 m).
Pressing the RESET button for more than
1 second, when the average fuel econo-
my is being displayed, clears the average
fuel consumption to zero (----).
If the vehicle speed exceeds 1.6 MPH
(1km/h) after being refueling, the average
fuel economy will be cleared to zero (----).Instant fuel consumption
(MPG or
l/100 km)
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption every 2 seconds from the
driving distance and quantity of fuel
injection.
