!WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Before refueling, 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 filler cap, turn it slowly.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-ing, please note the following guidelines carefully.
o Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, have one's hands incontact with metal parts away fromthe filler neck to discharge static electricity.

B540A01FC-GAT TAIL GATE
HTB067
o Do not get back in the vehicle
while refueling. Do not operate anything that can produce static electricity. Static electricity dis-charge can ignite fuel vapors re- sulting in explosion.
o When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground while refuel- ing. Static electricity dischargefrom the container can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. While start- ing refueling contact should bemaintained until the filling is com- plete.
o Do not use cellular phones around a gas station. The electric current or electronic interference fromcellular phones can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
o When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks by electricalequipment of the engine can ig- nite fuel vapors causing a fire.After refueling, check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed, and then start the engine.
o Do not smoke or try to light ciga- rettes around a gas station. Auto-motive fuels are flammable. WARNING:
The tail gate should always be kept completely closed while the vehicle is in motion. If it is left open or ajar,poisonous exhaust gases may en- ter the car resulting in serious ill- ness or death to the occupants. Seeadditional warnings concerning ex- haust gases on page 2-2.
!
o The tail gate can be locked or un- locked with a key.
o The tail gate is opened by pulling the
outside handle up, raising the tail gate manually.

The climate control air filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box.It operates to decrease the amount of pollutants from entering the car. To replace the climate control air filter,refer to the page 6-19.
B760A04TB-GAT CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FIL- TER (In Front of evaporator unit)(If Installed)
B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windowsclosed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. Thisincreases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility ofthe engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioningonce every month for a few min- utes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system inpeak operating condition. INSIDE OF A VEHICLE

o Replace the filter every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or once a year. If the car is being driven in severe con- ditions such as dusty, roughroads, more frequent climate con- trol air filter inspections and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly decreased, the system should bechecked at an authorized dealer.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequency and do not bend to followthe earth's surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short distances from the station.Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstruc- tions. These can result in certain lis-tening conditions which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your radio. The following conditions arenormal and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received atgreater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequency. Theselong, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into theatmosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT STEREO SOUND SYSTEM How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broad- cast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. Thissignal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reachedyour vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures high quality reproduction. However, in somecases the signal coming to your ve- hicle is not strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distancefrom the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the pres- ence of buildings, bridges or other largeobstructions in the area.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary: 1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front ofthe windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
