Refueling
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.
Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts offwhen refueling.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the eventof an accident.

Refueling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling,
please note the following guide-
lines carefully. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
severe personal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explo-sion.
Read and follow all warning posted at the gas station facil-
ity.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing since you can generate
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of produc-
ing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle or other diesel source.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, besure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.(Continued)
(Continued)
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.Once refueling has begun,
contact with the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carryand store diesel.
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure thefiller cap and filler door are
securely closed, before start-
ing the engine. (Continued)

Convenient features of your vehicle
Make sure to refuel your vehicleaccording to the "Fuel require-
ments" suggested in section 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, we recommend
that you use parts for replace-
ment from an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. An incorrectfuel filler cap can result in a seri-ous malfunction of the fuel sys-
tem or emission control system.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely to
prevent fuel spillage in the eventof an accident. The urea level warning lamp illumi-
nates, when the urea solution vol-
ume falls below 12% or less of the
tank. Without adding the urea solu-
tion, when the urea solution volume
drops to 6%, urea level warning lamp
will start blinking. When the urea
solution volume drops 4% or under,
both urea level warning lamp and
urea system warning lamp will simul-
taneously blink with limited torque.
When the urea volume falls below
1%, both lamps will stay blinking sta-
tus with limited vehicle speed.
When the urea level warning lamp
illuminates, the urea solution mustbe added.
NOTICE(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.
Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
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.

If the vehicle is driven with
urea solution volume less
than 4%, engine output will belimited.
REFILL IN GOOD TIME
The reducing agent must be replenished as soon as the
urea level warning lamp illu-
minates or blinks, otherwise
either engine torque or vehi-
cle speed can be limited. (Continued)
CAUTION
When opening the urea solu- tion tank cap at high outside
temperatures, ammonia
vapors may escape. Ammonia
vapors have a pungent smell
and primarily cause irritationof the: - Skin- Mucous membranes
- Eyes
You may experience a burning
sensation in your eyes, nose
and throat, as well as cough-
ing and watering of the eyes. Do not inhale ammonia
vapors. Do not allow ureasolution to come in direct
contact with your skin. It is
hazardous to your health.
Wash any affected areas off
with plenty of clean water. If
necessary, consult a doctor.

WARNING(Continued)
Liquid that are not recom-
mended such as diesel, gaso-
line, and alcohol shall neverbe used other than the recom-mended urea solution thatsatisfy ISO22241 or DIN70070.
Driver must use with a reduc-
ing agent UREA solution for
the SCR system working
properly. In order to complywith emissions regulations,
the vehicle must be operatedusing UREA solution.
If driver is driving a vehicle without using a UREA solu-
tion, driving permit may be
revoked, in some countries
you may be a criminal
offense, such as road traffic
offenses.
3-36Urea solution consumption depends on operation and driving
conditions. If the urea level warn-
ing lamp illuminates, you should
refill before the next scheduled
service to replenish the fluid.
NOTICE
Convenient features of your vehicle
In case the vehicle was
parked with very low ambient
temperature (below 11 degree
Celcius) for a long time, the
urea solution will be frozen in
the urea solution tank. With
frozen urea, the tank level may
not be detected correctly untilthe urea solution will be
defrosted by activated heater.
To conform to emission regu-
lation, you must operate the
vehicle with urea solution and
refill the supply regularly.
WARNING
If defective urea solution or liq- uid that is not recommended is
supplied, there may be damage
on the parts of the vehicle such
as processing device. If defec-
tive fuel is used, foreign objects
will be accumulated to SCR cat-
alyst and cause catalyst pushed
away or breaking.
After adding the incorrect urea
solution, please visit the closest
service center as early as possi-
ble.
CAUTION(Continued)
When handling with urea
solution in closed space,ensure good ventilation.When the bottle of urea solu-
tion container is opened, pun-
gent smelling fumes may
escape.
Keep urea solution out of
reach of children.
When urea solution overflows
into vehicle surface, wash out
vehicle surface with clean
water to prohibit corrosion
from occurring.

Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in 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.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.If the power steering drive belt
breaks or if the power steering
pump malfunctions, the steering
effort will greatly increase.
If the vehicle is parked for extend- ed periods outside in cold weath-
er (below -10°C/14°F), the power
steering may require increased
effort when the engine is first
started. This is caused byincreased fluid viscosity due tothe cold weather and does notindicate a malfunction.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing accel-
erator until the RPM reaches 1,500rpm then release or let the engine
idle for two or three minutes towarm up the fluid.
Tilt & telescopic steering
A tilt steering column allows you to
adjust the steering wheel before you
drive. You can also raise it to give
your legs more room when you exit
and enter the vehicle (if equipped).
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.
