ture Indicator Light
(If Installed)
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could erupt and cause severe burns. Wait untilthe engine is cool before removing the radiator cap.
!
These indicator lights show the tem- perature of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is ON. Red indicator light illuminates if the temperature of theengine coolant is above 123±3°C (253.4±37.4°F). Blue indicator light Illu- minates if the temperature of the enginecoolant is below 55±3°C (131±37.4°F). If the red indicator light illuminates, pull over and stop as soon as possible andturn off the engine. Then open the hood and check the coolant level (See "If the engine overheats" on the page 3-4.) andthe water pump drive belt. If you sus- pect cooling system trouble, have your cooling system checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible.
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light beginsto flash ON and OFF, potential catalytic converter damage is pos- sible which could result in loss ofengine power. Have the Engine Control System inspected as soon as possible by an authorizedHyundai dealer (Gasoline Engine).
o In case the injection quantity ad-
justment related error occurred,the Emission Control System Mal- function Indicator Light begins to flash ON and OFF. Continuousdriving with this status could re- sult in abnormal engine power loss (or power increase), combus-tion noise and poor emission. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundaidealer (Diesel Engine).

WARNING:
o Fuel vapors are dangerous. Be- fore refueling, always stop the en- gine and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler area. If you need to replace the filler cap,use a genuine Hyundai replace- ment part. If you open the fuel filler cap dur-ing high ambient temperatures, a slight "pressure sound" may be heard. This is normal and not acause for concern. Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn it slowly.!
REMOTE FUEL-FILLER LID RELEASE

If you must re-enter the vehicle, you should once again elimi- nate potentially dangerous staticelectricity discharge by touch- ing a metal part of the vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck,nozzle or other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground prior to refueling. Static electricity dis- charge from the container canignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, con- tact with the vehicle should bemaintained until the filling is complete. Use only portable fuel containers designed to carry andstore gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones
around a gas station or whilerefueling any vehicle. Electric current and/or electronic inter- ference from cellular phones canpotentially ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must use your cellular phone use it in aplace away from the gas station.o Automotive fuels are flammable/ explosive materials. When refuel- ing, please note the followingguidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may re- sult in severe personal injury, se-vere burns or death by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Gaso- line Shut-Off, if available, at the gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you shouldeliminate potentially dangerousstatic electricity discharge by touching another metal part of the front of the vehicle, a safedistance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling.Do not touch, rub or slide againstany item or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro- ducing static electricity. Staticelectricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors resulting in explo- sion.- When refueling always shut theengine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel va- pors causing a fire. Always in- sure that the engine is OFF be-fore and during refueling. Once refueling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap anddoor are securely closed, before starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas station. DO NOT use matchesor a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cigarette in yourvehicle while at a gas station especially during refueling. Au- tomotive fuel is highly flammableand can, when ignited, result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the ve-hicle, and immediately contact the manager of the gas stationor contact the police and local fire department. Follow any safety instructions they provide.
