Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. Anincorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunctionof the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
iDo 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.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
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.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of anaccident.
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for dual clutch trans-
mission) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transmis-
sion), set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical componentsrelated to the engine can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sureto place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact between
your bare hand and the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine. Do not operate the engine within
the tachometer's RED ZONE. This
may cause severe engine damage.
Engine coolant temperaturegauge
This gauge indicates the tempera- ture of the engine coolant when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the “130 or H” position, it
indicates overheating that may
damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehicle
overheats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 6.
Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.

Information
 The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 8.
 The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
 On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank.
Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuelcould cause the engine to misfire
damaging the catalytic converter.Outside temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the current out-
side air temperatures either in
Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit.
- Temperature range : -40°C ~ 60°C (-104°F ~ 140°F)
The outside temperature on the dis-
play may not immediately change
like a general thermometer not to
distract the driver.
The temperature unit (from °C to °F
or from °F to °C) can be changed by:
- User Settings mode in the Cluster : You can change the temperature
unit in the “Other Features -
Temperature unit” . - Automatic climate control system :
While pressing the OFF button,
press the AUTO button for 3 sec-
onds or more.
The temperature unit of the instrumentcluster and climate control system will
change at once.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.
NOTICE
i
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possibleafter the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the “0 or
E(Empty)” level.

Distance to empty
The distance to empty is the esti-mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mi.), the trip computer will
display “---” as distance to empty.
Information
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the distance to empty func-
tion may not operate correctly.
 The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.  The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters
(1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to the
vehicle.
 The distance to empty may vary sig- nificantly based on driving condi-
tions, driving habits, and condition
of the vehicle.
Icy road warning light (if equipped)
This warning light is to warn the driver
the road may be icy. When the temperature on the out-
side temperature gauge is approxi-
mately below 4°C (40°F), the Icy
Road Warning Light and Outside
Temperature Gauge blinks 10 times,
and then illuminates. Also, the warn-
ing chime sounds 3 times.
Information
If the icy road warning light appears
while driving, you should drive more
attentively and safely refraining from
over-speeding, rapid acceleration, sud-
den braking or sharp turning, etc.
