Inside the vehicle
When you can not unlock the trunk
due to battery discharge or other
reasons, you can unlock the trunk
inside the vehicle.
Open the cable cover (1) under the
rear seat with a mechanical key and
pull the cable (2) for unlocking the
trunk.
You and your passengers
must be aware of the location
of the Emergency Trunk
Safety Release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are acciden-
tally locked in the trunk.
NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather con-
ditions. The trunk is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle’s crush zone.(Continued)
(Continued)
Your vehicle should be kept
locked and the Smart Key
should be kept out of the reach
of children. Parents should
teach their children about the
dangers of playing in trunks.
Use the release lever for
emergencies only.

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.
3
Add fuel into the fuel tank
within 20 minutes after open-
ing the fuel filler door. After 20
minutes, the fuel tank may
shut off, causing fuel to over-
flow. In this case, re-press the
fuel filler door opening but-ton.
Do not leave the fuel filler
door opened for an extended
period of time. It may dis-
charge the battery.
Close the fuel filler door after
fueling the vehicle. If you start
the vehicle with the fuel filler
door opened, the message,
"Check fuel lid," illuminates
on the LCD display.
Avoid refueling the vehicle
while charging the (high-volt-
age) hybrid battery. It may
cause a fire or an explosion
due to static electricity.
WARNING (Continued)
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing 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 danger-
ous 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, besure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.
(Continued)
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
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.(Continued)

Hybrid Battery SOC (State of Charge) Gauge
This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is
near the "L (Low)" level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery. However, if the Service Indicator ( )and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
( ) turn on when the SOC gauge is
near the "L (Low)" level, have the vehi-
cle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Never try to start the vehicle if the
fuel tank is empty. In this condi-
tion, the engine cannot charge the
high voltage battery of the hybrid
system. If you try to start the vehi-
cle when the fuel is empty, the
high voltage battery will become
discharged and damaged.
