The power liftgate can be oper-
ated when the vehicle is not run-
ning. However, the power liftgate
operation consumes a large
amount of electic power.
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively (e.g. more than
5 times repeatedly).
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not leave
the power liftgate in the open
position for a long time.
Do not modify or repair any part
of the power liftgate by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power
liftgate. This could cause the
power liftgate to operate
improperly.
In cold and wet climates, the
power liftgate may not work
properly due to freezing condi-
tions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
liftgate will detect the resistance.
If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power liftgate, the
liftgate will stop and move in the
opposite direction.
However, in some instances the
automatic reversal system may not
detect the object if it is too soft or is
very thin, or if the liftgate is almost
fully closed near the latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent
any objects from obstructing the lift-
gate opeining.If the automatic reversal feature
operates more than 2 times while
attempting to open or close the lift-
gate, the power liftgate may stop at
that position. If this occurs, carefully
close the liftgate manually, and then
try to operate the power liftgate auto-
matically again.
NOTICE
OFE048039
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power liftgate to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.
WARNING
Do not put heavy objects on the
power liftgate before you oper-
ate the power liftgate feature.
Additional weight may damage
the operation of the system.

Refueling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe
personal injury, severe burns or
death by fire or explosion.
Read and follow all warning
posted at the gas station facil-
ity.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or
fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing stat-
ic electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors resulting in rapid burn-
ing. If you must reenter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity discharge
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle or other gasoline
source.
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric current
and/or electronic interference
from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut
the power off. Once refueling
is complete, check to make
sure the filler cap and filler
door are securely closed,
before starting the vehicle.
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.
