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.

■ Passenger’s side
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.

Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the engine coolant when the igni-
tion switch is ON.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approx-imate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehi-
cle overheats, refer to "If the
engine overheats" in section 6.
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the red zone, it indicates
overheating that may damage
the engine.
CAUTION
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. Theengine coolant is under pres-
sure and could cause severe
burns. Wait until the engine is
cool before adding coolant to
the reservoir.

Information
The fuel tank capacity is given in section 8.
The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank.i
Fuel vapors are dangerous.
Before refueling, always stop
the engine and never allowsparks or open flames near the
filler area. If you need to replace
the filler cap, we recommend
that you use parts for replace-
ment from an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. If you open thefuel filler cap during high ambi-
ent temperatures, a slight “pres-
sure sound” may be heard. This
is normal and not a cause forconcern.
Whenever you open the fuel
filler cap, turn it slowly.
WARNING
Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possibleafter the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the O (Empty)
level.
WARNING
Avoid driving with a extremely
low fuel level. Running out offuel could cause the engine to
misfire damaging the catalytic
converter.
CAUTION
Be sure to fill with the speci- fied fuel.(Diesel)
Be sure to lock the fuel filler
cap with the key after fillingwith the specified fuel.

Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To
identify what the vehicle trailering
capacity is for your vehicle, you
should read the information in
“Weight of the trailer” that appearslater in this section.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in han-
dling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requirescorrect equipment, and it has to be
used properly.
This section contains many time-
tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Please read this
section carefully before you pull a
trailer.Load-pulling components such as
the engine, transmission, wheel
assemblies, and tires are forced to
work harder against the load of the
added weight. The engine is required
to operate at relatively higher speeds
and under greater loads. This addi-
tional burden generates extra heat.
The trailer also adds considerably to
wind resistance, increasing the
pulling requirements.Tow bar wiring(if equipped)
In combination with genuine tow bar
wiring harness, the Factory-installed
Rear Park Distance control (Rear
PDC) get switched off, as soon as a
trailer is connected to the towing
hitch wiring connector and driving
backwards (only for Vehicles withprepared connector).

Driving your vehicle
This section will guide you in the
proper loading of your vehicle and/or
trailer, to keep your loaded vehicle
weight within its design rating capa-
bility, with or without a trailer.
Properly loading your vehicle will
provide maximum return of the vehi-
cle design performance. Before load-
ing your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determin-
ing your vehicle's weight ratings, with
or without a trailer, from the vehicle's
specifications and the certificationlabel:
Base curb weight
This is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all
standard equipment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or option-al equipment.
Vehicle curb weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle
when you picked it up from your deal-
er plus any aftermarket equipment.
Cargo weight
This figure includes all weight added
to the Base Curb Weight, includingcargo and optional equipment.
GAW (Gross axle weight)
This is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) - including
vehicle curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross axle weight rat- ing)
This is the maximum allowable
weight that can be carried by a single
axle (front or rear). These numbers
are shown on the certification label.
The total load on each axle must
never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross vehicle weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus
actual Cargo Weight plus passen-
gers.
Take the following precautions:
Never load a trailer with more weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be
loaded with approximately60% of the total trailer load;the rear should be loaded with
approximately 40% of the totaltrailer load.
Never exceed the maximum weight limits of the trailer or
trailer towing equipment.
Improper loading can result in
damage to your vehicle and/or
personal injury. Checkweights and loading at a com-
mercial scale or highway
patrol office equipped withscales.
An improperly loaded trailer
can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol.
