✽NOTICE
• The power tailgate can be operat-
ed when the engine is not running.
However the power tailgate opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being discharged,
do not operate it excessively e.g.:
more than approximately 10 times
repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
tailgate in the open position for a
long lime.
• Do not modify or repair any part
of the power tailgate by yourself.
We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power tailgate.
This could cause the power tail-
gate to operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the
power tailgate may not work prop-
erly due to freezing conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power tailgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
tailgate will detect the resistance.
• If the resistance is detected while
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• If the resistance is detected while
closing the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the tailgate is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and rever-
sal may not detect the resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power tailgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
tailgate manually and operate the
tailgate automatically again.
ONCNCO2007WARNING
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power tailgate to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.

WARNING - Refueling
• If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.

release, you can open it manually.
Remove the panel in the luggage
compartment area. Pull the handle

(Continued)
• When refueling, always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before start-
ing the engine.
• 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 refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
• If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel your vehi-
cle according to the "Fuel
requirements" suggested in
section 1.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, please make
sure that you use parts
designed for replacement in
your vehicle. An incorrect fuel
filler cap can result in a seri-
ous malfunction of the fuel
system or emission control
system. For more detailed
information, we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not spill fuel on the exteri-
or surfaces of the vehicle. Any
type of fuel spilled on painted
surfaces may damage the
paint.
• After refueling, make sure the
fuel cap is installed securely
to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.
CAUTION
Do not pull the handle exces-
sively, otherwise the luggage
compartment area trim or
release handle may be damaged.
