Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check thefollowing:
• All filler caps in engine compart ment must be correctly installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood halfway and let it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place.
Support rod
•Grasp the support rod in the
area wrapped in rubber. The
rubber will help prevent you
from being burned by hot metal
when the engine is hot.
•The support rod must be insert
ed completely into the hole pro
vided whenever you inspect the
engine compartment. This will
prevent the hood from falling
and possibly injuring you.
WARNING
•Before closing the hood, ensure
that all obstructions are
removed from the hood opening.
Closing the hood with an
obstruction present in the hood
opening may result in property
damage or severe personal
injury.
•Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heatinduced fire.
•Always double check to be sure
that the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could open
while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an acci
dent.
•Do not move the vehicle with the
hood raised. The view will be
blocked and the hood could fall
or be damaged.

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.

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.
