Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn itclockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.
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
Shut-Off, if available, at the gas
station.
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate the poten-
tial build-up 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. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
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 build-up of
static electricity by touching, rub-
bing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. 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, 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.(Continued)
(Continued)Once refueling has begun, con-
tact 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.
When refueling, always move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion, set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical components
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 over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage. (Continued)

Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according
to the "Fuel Requirements" suggested in
the Introduction chapter. Do not spill fuel on the exterior sur-
faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel
spilled on painted surfaces may
damage the paint.
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
(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 depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions 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 com-
pletely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine.Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE. This may
cause severe engine damage.
Engine coolant temperature
Gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of
the engine coolant when the ignition
switch or Engine Start/Stop button is ON.

If the gauge pointer moves beyond the
normal range area toward the "H"
position, it indicates overheating that
may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 6.
Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Information
• The fuel tank capacity is given in chap-ter 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.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damaging
the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
iNOTICE
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger. You
must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
"E (Empty)" level.
WARNINGNever remove the radiator cap or
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could severely burn.
Wait until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driven
and should be used to determine when
periodic maintenance should be per-
formed.
Outside temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the current outside
air temperatures by 1°F (1°C).
- Temperature range :-40°F ~ 140°F (-
40°C ~ 60°C)
The outside temperature on the display
may not change immediately like a gen-
eral thermometer (to avoid distracting the
driver).
To change the temperature unit from °F
to °C or °C to °F:
For conventional cluster:
- Press the TRIP button for more than 5 seconds on the steering wheel. For supervision cluster:
- Go to the User Settings Mode
➝Other
Features ➝Temperature Unit. Select
your desired unit.
For vehicles equipped with Automatic
Climate Control, you can also:
- Press and hold the AUTO and OFF but- tons on the climate control unit for 3
seconds.
Both the temperature unit on the cluster
LCD display and climate control screen
will change.
