Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you
must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be
sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.

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. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
iDo 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 gas
station 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 pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic trans-
mission/dual clutch transmis-
sion), set the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch
to the LOCK/OFF position.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
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.

Roof Side Rails (if equipped)
If your vehicle comes equipped with
roof side rails, then roof side rails
crossbars can be installed on top of
your vehicle.
The roof side rails crossbars are an
accessory and are available at your
local HYUNDAI dealer.
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position
cargo onto the roof side rails in
such a way that it could interfere
with sunroof operation. When carrying cargo on the roof
side rails, take the necessary
precautions to make sure the
cargo does not damage the roof
of the vehicle.
When carrying large objects on
the roof side rails, make sure
they do not exceed the overall
roof length or width.

The following specification is
the maximum weight that can
be loaded onto the roof side
rails. Distribute the load as
evenly as possible onto the
roof side rails and secure the
load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof side rails may
damage your vehicle.
The vehicle center of gravity
will be higher when items are
loaded onto the roof side
rails. Avoid sudden starts,
braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehi-
cle control or rollover result-
ing in an accident.
Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof side rails.
Severe wind updrafts, caused
by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden
upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof side rails.
This is especially true when
carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses.
This could cause the items to
fall off the roof side rails and
cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of
cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driv-
ing to make sure the items on
the roof side rails are secure-
ly fastened.
