from being discharged, do not operate
it excessively e.g.: more than approxi-
mately 10 times repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being dis- charged, do not leave the power tail-
gate in the open position for a long

must be done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

not operate the power tailgate. This
could cause the power tailgate to oper-
ate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power tailgate may not work properly due to

Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if the
power tailgate is blocked by an object or
part of the body, the power tailgate will
detect the resistance.
If the resistance is detected while
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
If the resistance is detected while clos- ing the tailgate, it will stop and move in
the opposite direction.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the tailgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance. If the automatic reversal feature operates
continuously more than twice during
opening or closing operation, the power
tailgate may stop at that position. At this
time, close the tailgate manually and
operate the tailgate automatically again.
How to reset the power tailgate
If the battery has been discharged or dis-
connected, or if the related fuse has
been replaced or disconnected, for the
power tailgate to operate normally, reset
the power tailgate as follow:
1. Put the shift lever in P (Park).
2. Press the tailgate handle switch and
tailgate close button at the same time
for more than 3 seconds. (the chime
will sound)
3. Close the tailgate manually.
If the power tailgate does not work prop-
erly after the above procedure, have the
system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If the power tailgate does not operate
normally, first check the following con-
dition before using the power tailgate.
Check if the shift lever is in:
• neutral for manual transaxle vehicles
• P (Park) for automatic transaxle vehi-
cles

WARNING - Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, itcan 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 nozzle automatically shuts off when
refueling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
(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 warning post-ed at the gas station facility.
Before refueling note the location 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.
