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•When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic
transaxle) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transaxle),
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks
produced by electrical compo
nents 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 overfill or topoff your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.

•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
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 remov
ing the cap.
•Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci
dent.

Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati
cally controls the glare from the head
lights of the car behind you in night
time or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto
matically adjusts to control the head
light glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
T o o p e r a t e t h e e l e c t r i c r e a r v i e w

Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func
tion on. The mirror indicator light

• The mirror defaults to the ON posi tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material damp
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
