WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Be-
fore 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 colli-
sion or rollover. If the filler cap must
be replaced, only use genuine Hyundai
replacement parts.

REMOTE FUEL-FILLER LID
RELEASEB560A03NF-AATThe fuel-filler lid may be opened from
inside the vehicle by pushing the fuel-filler
lid opener switch located on the driver's
door.NOTE:If the fuel-filler lid will not open because
ice has formed around it, tap lightly or
push on the lid to break the ice and
release the lid. Do not pry on the lid. If
necessary, spray around the lid with an
approved de-icer fluid (do not use radia-
tor anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a
warm place and allow the ice to melt.

WARNING:

WARNING:
- 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 should eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching an-
other metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance 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 against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors re-
sulting in explosion.If you must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching 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 refuel-
ing. Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
should be maintained until the filling
is complete. Use only portable fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station or while refueling any
vehicle. Electric current and/or elec-
tronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you must
use your cellular phone use it in a
place away from the gas station.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise 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. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire or
explosion.

WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks produced by elec-
trical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and during
refueling. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the fuel
filler cap and door are securely
closed, before starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. 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 re-
fueling. Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when ignited,
result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station or contact the
police and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions they
provide.
B560B01L-GATManual Fuel Filler Lid ReleaseIf the fuel filler lid cannot be opened using
the remote opener, a manual opener
handle is located inside the trunk on the left
side. Open the fuel filler lid by pulling on
this handle as shown in the illustration.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts, in-
cluding components found in the interior
furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of Califor-
nia to cause cancer and birth defects
and reproductive harm. In addition, cer-
tain fluids contained in vehicles and cer-
tain products of component wear con-
tain or emit chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINEC020A01TG-AATBefore you start the engine, you should
always:
1. Look around the vehicle to be sure
there are no flat tires, puddles of oil,
water or other indications of possible
trouble.
2. After entering the car, check to be sure
the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that all windows and lights are
clean.
4. Check that the interior and exterior
mirrors are clean and in position.
5. Check your seat, seatback and head-
rest to be sure they are in their proper
positions.
6. Lock all the doors.
7. Fasten your seat belt and be sure that
all other occupants have fastened
theirs.
8. Turn off all lights and accessories that
are not needed.
9. When you turn the ignition switch to
"ON", check that all appropriate warn-
ing lights are operating and that you
have sufficient fuel.
10. Check the operation of warning lights
and all bulbs when key is in the "ON"
position.
WARNING:
o Always wear appropriate shoes when
operating your vehicle. Unsuitable
shoes (high heels, ski boots, etc.) may
interfere with your ability to use the
brake and accelerator pedal.
o All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing. Refer to pages: 1-27 through 1-
34 for more information on their proper
use.
o Always check the surrounding areas
near your vehicle for people, espe-
cially children, before putting a car
into 'drive'.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMYC140A02A-AATYou can save fuel and get more miles from
your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts
or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race be-
tween stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can avoid
unnecessary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, espe-
cially on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-
tion.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these compo-
nents. In addition, driving with your foot
resting on the brake pedal may cause
the brakes to overheat, which reduces
their effectiveness and may lead to more
serious consequences. o Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the gear se-
lector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first
or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the car cannot
roll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transaxle to overheat. Al-
ways use the brake pedal or parking
brake.o Take care of your tires. Keep them in-
flated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can re-
sult from hitting curbs or driving too fast
over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment
causes faster tire wear and may also
result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced main-
tenance costs, maintain your car in ac-
cordance with the maintenance sched-
ule in Section 5. If you drive your car in
severe conditions, more frequent main-
tenance is required (see Section 5 for
details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your Hyundai should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
