 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.
Closing the fuel filler door
1.  To install the fuel tank cap, turn it  clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2.  Close the fuel filler door until it is  latched securely.
 WARNING
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 Fuel Shut-Off, if 
available, at the gas station.
[  Before touching the fuel nozzle, you 
should eliminate the potential 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.
[  Do not use cellular phones while 
refueling. Electric current and/or 
electronic interference from cellular 
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 buildup 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 fuel 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.
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 fuel.
[  When refueling, always shift the 
gear to the P (Park) position, set 
the parking brake, and press 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.
[  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.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The emission control system of your 
vehicle is covered by a written limited 
warranty. Please see the warranty 
information contained in the Owner’s 
Handbook & Warranty Information 
booklet in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an 
emission control system to meet all 
applicable emission regulations. There 
are three emission control systems, as 
follows.
(1)  Crankcase emission control system
(2)  Evaporative emission control system
(3)  Exhaust emission control system
In order to ensure the proper function 
of the emission control systems, it 
is recommended that you have your 
vehicle inspected and maintained 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer in 
accordance with the maintenance 
schedule in this manual.
NOTICE
For the Inspection and Maintenance 
Test (with Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system)
[ To prevent the vehicle from misfiring 
during dynamometer testing, turn 
the Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system off by pressing the ESC 
switch (ESC OFF light illuminated).
[  After dynamometer testing is 
completed, turn the ESC system back 
on by pressing the ESC switch again.
1.  Crankcase Emission Control 
System
The positive crankcase ventilation system 
is employed to prevent air pollution 
caused by blow-by gases being emitted 
from the crankcase. This system supplies 
fresh filtered air to the crankcase through 
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, 
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, 
which then pass through the PCV valve 
into the induction system.
2. Evaporative Including Onboard Refueling Vapor 
Recovery (ORVR)
The Evaporative Emission Control System 
is designed to prevent fuel vapors from 
escaping into the atmosphere. The 
ORVR system is designed to allow the 
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded 
into a canister while refueling at the gas 
station, preventing the escape of fuel 
vapors into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel 
tank are absorbed and stored in the 
onboard canister. When the engine is 
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the 
canister are drawn into the surge tank 
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve 
is controlled by the Engine Control 
Module (ECM); when the engine coolant 
temperature is low during idling, the 
PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel 
is not taken into the engine. After the 
engine warms-up during ordinary 
driving, the PCSV opens to introduce 
evaporated fuel to the engine.
