WARNING:
- When using a portable fuel container,
be sure to place the container on the
ground while refueling. Static elec-
tricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
While starting refueling, contact
should be maintained until the filling
is complete.
- Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station. The electric current or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire.
- When refueling, always turn the en-
gine off. Sparks by engine compart-
ment electrical equipment can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. After re-
fueling, check to make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely closed, and
then start the engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive
fuels are flammable.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an accident
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, otherwise
the "
" light will illuminate
o If you open the fuel filler cap during
high ambient temperatures, a slight
"pressure sound" may be heard. This
is normal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-
matically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, have one's hands in
contact with metal parts away from
the filler neck to discharge static
electricity.
- Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything
that can produce static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in an explosion.
!
!
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous.
Before refueling, always stop the
engine and never smoke or allow
sparks and open flames near the filler
area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
filler cap properly installed, flammable
vapors and gasoline could leak out in
dangerous situations such as a
collision or rollover. If the filler cap
must be replaced, only use genuine
Hyundai replacement parts.

WARNING:
o Keep the cruise control ON/OFF switch
off when not using the cruise control
to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.
o Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
o Do not use the cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the car at a
constant speed, for instance, driving
in heavy or varying traffic, or on
slippery (rainy, icy or snow-covered)
or winding roads or over 6% up-hill or
down-hill roads.
o Pay particular attention to the driving
conditions whenever using the cruise
control system.
o During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not shift
into neutral without depressing the
clutch pedal, since the engine will be
overrevved. If this happens, depress
the clutch pedal or release the cruise
control ON/OFF switch.
o During normal cruise control
operation, when the "SET" switch is
activated or reactivated after apply-
ing the brakes, the cruise control will
energize after approximately 3
seconds. This delay is normal.* : if installed
