WARNING

[ Before refueling, be sure to check
what type of fuel is used for your
vehicle. If you put diesel fuel into
a gasoline-powered vehicle or
gasoline into a diesel-powered
vehicle, it may affect the fuel system
and cause serious damage to the
vehicle.

[ Add fuel into the fuel tank within
20 minutes after opening the fuel
filler door. After 20 minutes, the fuel
tank may shut off, causing fuel to
overflow. In this case, re-press the
fuel filler door opening button.

[ Do not leave the fuel filler door
opened for an extended period of
time. It may discharge the battery.

[ Close the fuel filler door after fueling
the vehicle. If you start the vehicle with the fuel filler door opened,
the message, “Check fuel door”,
illuminates on the LCD display.

[ Avoid refueling the vehicle while
charging the (high-voltage) hybrid
battery. It may cause a fire or an
explosion due to static electricity.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it clockwise until it “clicks” one time.

WARNING
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead to
sudden tire failure that could result
in loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Severe under-inflation can lead
to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and
other tire failures that can result in
the loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident. This risk is much
higher on hot days and when
driving for long periods at high speeds.
CAUTION

[ Under-inflation results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy.
Wheel deformation is also
possible. Keep your tire pressures
at the proper levels. If a tire
frequently needs refilling, we
recommend it be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Over-inflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Check Tire Inflation Pressure
Check your tires, including the spare
tire, once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to check tire pressure. You
can not tell if your tires are properly
inflated simply by looking at them.
Radial tires may look properly
inflated when they are under-
inflated.
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gauge
firmly onto the valve to get a
pressure measurement. If the cold
tire inflation pressure matches the
recommended pressure on the tire
and loading information label, no
further adjustment is necessary. If
the pressure is low, add air until you
reach the recommended pressure.
Make sure to put the valve caps
back on the valve stems. Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve core and cause
air leakage. If a valve cap is missing,
install a new one as soon as possible.
If you overfill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the tire valve. Recheck the
tire pressure with the tire gauge. Be
sure to put the valve caps back on
the valve stems. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leakage.
If a valve cap is missing, install a new one as soon as possible.
