Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap (2), turnit clockwise until it “clicks” once.
This indicates that the cap is
securely tightened.
2. Close the fuel filler door (1) and push it lightly and make sure that it
is securely closed.
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 loca
tion of the Emergency Gasoline
ShutOff, if available, at the gas
station.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate the poten
tial buildup of static electricity
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle,
or other gas source, with your
bare hand.
•Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors and cause a
fire.
•Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric capable of produc
ing static electricity. Static elec
tricity discharge can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If you must reenter the vehicle,
you should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other gasoline source, with
your bare hand.
•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 between
your bare hand and the vehicle
should be maintained until the
filling is complete.
•Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.

If the fuel filler cap requires replace
ment, use only a genuine HYUNDAI
cap or the equivalent specified for
your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler
cap can result in a serious malfunc
tion of the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
i•When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic
transaxle) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transaxle),
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks
produced by electrical compo
nents related to the engine can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
•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 overfill or topoff your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•If a fire breaks out during refuel
ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station 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 completely remov
ing the cap.
•Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci
dent.

Electric power steering (EPS) (if
equipped)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes
heavier as the vehicle’s speed
increases and becomes lighter as
the vehicle’s speed decreases for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light () will illuminate
on the instrument cluster. The steer
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate. Take your vehicle
to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked as
soon as possible.
