WARNING:
o Fuel vapours are dangerous. Be- fore refuelling, always stop the engine and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler area. Ifyou 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 beheard. This is normal and not a cause for concern. Whenever you open the fuel fillercap, turn it slowly. o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-ling, 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 refuelling always note the
location of the Emergency Petrol Shut-Off, if available, at the petrol station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you shouldeliminate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge by touching another metal part ofthe front of the vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other flammablesource.
- Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuelling.Do not touch, rub or slide against any item or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-ducing static electricity. Static electricity discharge can ignite fuel vapours resulting in explo-sion. 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 petrol source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground prior to refuelling. Static electricity dis- charge from the container canignite fuel vapours causing a fire. Once refuelling has begun, contact with the vehicle should be maintained until the filling is complete. Use only portable fuelcontainers designed to carry and store petrol.
