(Continued)
When refueling, always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before start-
ing the engine.
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 or 911.
Follow any safety instructions
they provide.(Continued)
When using an approvedportable 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 with the
vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
(Continued)CAUTION
Make sure to refuel your vehi-cle according to the "Fuelrequirements" suggested insection 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a gen-uine HYUNDAI cap or theequivalent specified for yourvehicle. An incorrect fuel fillercap can result in a seriousmalfunction of the fuel systemor emission control system.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Anytype of fuel spilled on paintedsurfaces may damage the paint.
After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securelyto prevent fuel spillage in theevent of an accident.

Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses a motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If
the engine is off or if the power steer-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by a power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The steering becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for optimum steer-
ing control.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
• The steering gets heavy immedi- ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or
LOCK (OFF) position.
• A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
• If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
the instrument cluster. The steer-
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate abnormally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible. (Continued)

If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-mally, the warning light willilluminate on the instrumentcluster. The steering wheelmay become difficult to con-trol or operate abnormally.Take your vehicle to anauthorized HYUNDAI dealerand have the vehicle checkedas soon as possible.
When you operate the steer- ing wheel in low temperature,abnormal noise could occur. Iftemperature rises, the noisewill disappear. This is a normalcondition.
When the vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheelall the way to the left or rightcontinuously, the steeringwheel becomes heavier fromthe end. But this is for yoursafety, not system malfunc-tion. As time passes, thesteering wheel return to itsnormal condition.
