Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in and
around the engine compartment to
ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objects
are removed from the engine room
area or hood opening area
- All glove, rags, or other
combustible material is removed
from the engine compartment
- All filler caps are tightly and
correctly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted
approximately 12 in. (30 cm) from the
closed position) and push down to
securely lock in place. Then double
check to be sure the hood is secure.
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is
not securely locked. Open it again and
close it with more force.
WARNING
Before closing the hood, ensure
all obstructions are removed from
around the hood opening.
Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before
driving away. Check there is no
hood open warning light or message
displayed on the instrument cluster.
Driving with the hood opened may
cause a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as vision
is obstructed, which might result in
an accident, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
Liftgate

OOS050007K
Lower the liftgate lid and press down
until it locks. To be sure the liftgate lid is
securely fastened, always check by trying
to pull it up again without pressing the
liftgate handle button.
WARNING
Always keep the liftgate lid completely
closed while the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle and serious
illness or death may result.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the liftgate lift
cylinders and the attached hardware,
always close the liftgate before driving.
Information
WARNING
OOS047085
Do not hold the part (gas lifter) that
supports the liftgate. Be aware that
the deformation of the part may cause
vehicle damage and a risk of injury.
WARNING
NEVER allow anyone to occupy the
luggage compartment of the vehicle
at any time. If the liftgate is partially
or totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather conditions.
The luggage compartment is also
a highly dangerous location in the
event of a crash because it is not a
protected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle’s crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked
and keys should be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about
the dangers of playing in luggage
compartments.

Information
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.

latched securely.
WARNING
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 Fuel Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup 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
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other fuel 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.
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 fuel.
When refueling, always shift the
gear to the P (Park) position, set
the parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
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.

Convenient features
5-66
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause fuel
spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact 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 completely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
Information
NOTICE
Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces 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.
