(Continued)
Use only approved portable plas-
tic fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
 Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
 When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make 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 gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling
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 vapors 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 gaso-
line source.
 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 with the vehicle
should be maintained until the
filling is complete.

WARNING -
Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, 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 warningsposted at the gas station facility.
 Before refueling, note the loca- tion of the Emergency Gasoline
Shut-Off, if available, at the gas
station 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 gas source.

Emergency fuel filler lid releaseAn emergency fuel filler lid release is
located in the luggage compartment, on
the left side.
If the fuel filler lid does not open using
the remote fuel filler lid release, you can
open it manually. Pull the handle outward
slightly.
(Continued)
 If a fire breaks out during refuel-ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station and
then contact the local fire depart-
ment or 911. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
CAUTION
 Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the "Fuel require-ments" suggested in section 1.
 If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuineHYUNDAI cap or the equivalentspecified for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can resultin a serious malfunction of thefuel system or emission control system.
 Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted surfacesmay damage the paint.
 After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-vent fuel spillage in the event ofan accident.
CAUTION
Do not pull the handle excessively,otherwise the luggage area trim or release handle may be damaged.

4To adjust the Zone setting:
1. Determine the desired Zone Number
based upon your current location on
the Zone Map.
2. Press and hold the button for 6 sec- onds, the current Zone Number will
appear on the display.
3. Pressing and holding the button again will cause the numbers to incre-
ment (Note: they will repeat …13, 14,
15, 1, 2, …). Releasing the button
when the desired Zone Number
appears on the display will set the new
Zone.
4. Within about 5 seconds the compass will start displaying a compass head-
ing again.
There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle magnets,
such as installing a ski rack or a CB
antenna. Body repair work on the vehicle
can also cause changes to the vehicle's
magnetic field. In these situations, the
compass will need to be re-calibrated to
quickly correct for these changes. To re-
calibrate the compass: 1. Press and hold the button for more
than 9 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Integrated HomeLink
®Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink
®Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up
to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters with a single built-in device.
This innovative feature will learn the
radio frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, security systems, even
home lighting. Both standard and rolling
code-equipped transmitters can be pro-
grammed by following the outlined proce-
dures. Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com or
by calling 1-800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes.
CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink
®to
a garage door opener or gate oper- ator, make sure that people andobjects are out of the way of thedevice to prevent potential harm or damage. Do not use HomeLink®
with any garage door opener thatlacks the safety stop and reversefeatures required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes anygarage door opener model manu- factured before April 1, 1982). Agarage door that cannot detect anobject - signaling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet currentU.S. federal safety standards. Usinga garage door opener without these features increases the risk of seri-ous injury or death.

4Rolling code programming
Rolling code devices which are "code-
protected" and manufactured after 1996
may be determined by the following:
 Reference the device owner's manual
for verification.
 The handheld transmitter appears to program the HomeLink
®
Universal
Transceiver but does not activate the
device.
 Press and hold the trained HomeLink button. The device has the rolling code
feature if the indicator light flashes rap-
idly and then turns solid after 2 sec-
onds.
To train rolling code devices, follow these
instructions:
1. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the "learn" or "smart" button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-
head unit. Exact location and color of
the button may vary by garage door
opener brand.
If there is difficulty locating the training
button, reference the device owner's
manual or please visit our Web site at
www.homelink.com. 2. Firmly press and release the "learn" or
"smart" button (which activates the
"training light").
✽ ✽NOTICEThere are 30 seconds in which to initiate
step3.3. Return to the vehicle, firmly press and
hold for two seconds the desired
HomeLink
®
button then release.
Repeat the "press/hold/release"
sequence a second time to complete
the programming. (Some devices may
require you to repeat this sequence a
third time to complete the program-
ming.)
4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink
®button and observe the red
Status Indicator LED. If the indicator
light stays on constantly, programming
is complete and your device should
activate.
5. To program the remaining two HomeLink®buttons, follow either steps
1 through 4 above for other Rolling
Code devices or steps 2 through 5 in
Standard Programming for standard
devices. Gate operator & Canadian program-
ming
During programming, your handheld
transmitter may automatically stop trans-
mitting. Continue to press the Integrated
HomeLink
®Wireless Control System but-
ton (note steps 2 through 4 in the
Standard Programming portion of this
document) while you press and re-press
("cycle") your handheld transmitter every
two seconds until the frequency signal
has been learned. The indicator light will
flash slowly and then rapidly after sever-
al seconds upon successful training.
Operating HomeLink
®
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink
®
button.
Activation will now occur for the trained
device (i.e. garage door opener, gate
operator, security system, entry door
lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For con-
venience, the hand-held transmitter of
the device may also be used at any time.
