Fuel filler door
(Hybrid vehicle)
Opening the fuel filler door
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Push the fuel filler door opener
button.3. Pull the fuel filler door (1) out to
fully open.
4. To remove the fuel tank cap (2),
turn it anticlockwise. You may hear
a hissing noise as the pressure
inside the tank equalizes.
5. Place the cap on the fuel filler door.
Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break
the ice and release the door. Do not
pry on the door. If necessary, spray
around the door with an approved de-
icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-
freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm
place and allow the ice to melt.

Maintenance
Check tyre inflation pressure
Check your tyres, including the spare
tyre, once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to check tyre pressure. You
can not tell if your tyres are properly
inflated simply by looking at them.
Radial tyres may look properly inflat-
ed when they are under-inflated.
Remove the valve cap from the tyre
valve stem. Press the tyre gauge
firmly onto the valve to get a pres-
sure measurement. If the cold tyre
inflation pressure matches the rec-
ommended pressure on the tyre and
loading information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the pres-
sure is low, add air until you reach
the recommended pressure. Make
sure to put the valve caps back on
the valve stems. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leakage.
If a valve cap is missing, install a new
one as soon as possible.If you overfill the tyre, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
centre of the tyre valve. Recheck the
tyre pressure with the tyre gauge. Be
sure to put the valve caps back on
the valve stems. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leakage.
If a valve cap is missing, install a new
one as soon as possible.
Under-inflation results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy.
Wheel deformation is also
possible. Keep your tyre pres-
sures at the proper levels. If a
tyre frequently needs refilling,
we recommend it be checked
by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Over-inflation produces a
harsh ride, excessive wear at
the centre of the tyre tread,
and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
