WARNING
- Refuelling
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.
Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off whenrefuelling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-dent.

WARNING - Refuelling
dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refuelling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
Read and follow all warning at the petrol station facility.
Before refuelling note the loca- tion of the Emergency Fuel Shut-
Off, if available, at the petrol sta-
tion facility.
Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other petrol
source.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refuelling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapours resulting
in rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other petrol
source.
When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
elling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling has begun, contact
with the vehicle should be main-tained until the filling is com-
plete.
(Continued)(Continued)Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store petrol.
Do not use mobile phones while refuelling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from
mobile phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.
When refuelling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling is complete, check tomake sure the filler cap and filler
door are securely closed, before
starting the engine.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at
a petrol station especially during
refuelling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.

CAUTION
Make sure to refuel with unleaded
fuel only.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuineHYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. Anincorrect fuel filler cap can result in a serious malfunction of thefuel system or emission control
system.
(Continued)
(Continued) Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted surfacesmay damage the paint.
