Convenience Features5-64
•  Do not get back into a vehicle 
once you have begun refueling. 
You can generate a build-up of 
static electricity by touching, 
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 dangerous 
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 refueling, always move the 
shift lever to the P (Park) position, 
set the parking brake, and set the 
Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF 
position.
•  Sparks produced by electrical 
components related to the engine 
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
•  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 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.
•  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.
•  If a fire breaks out during refueling, 
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and 
immediately contact the manager 
of the gas station and then contact 
the local fire department. Follow any 
safety instructions 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 completely removing the cap.
•  Always check that the fuel cap is 
installed securely to prevent fuel 
spillage in the event of an accident.
 Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according 
to the “Fuel Requirements” suggested in 
the Introduction chapter.
NOTICE
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior 
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of 
fuel spilled on painted surfaces may 
damage the paint.
•  If the fuel filler cap requires 
replacement, use only a genuine 
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent 
specified for your vehicle. An 
incorrect fuel filler cap can result 
in a serious malfunction of the fuel 
system or emission control system.
