(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you
must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, besure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.(Continued)
(Continued)
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle shouldbe maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, and place engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion. Sparks produced byelectrical components relatedto the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
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.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage. (Continued)
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn itclockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.
3
Add fuel into the fuel tank
within 20 minutes after open-
ing the fuel filler door. After 20
minutes, the fuel tank may
shut off, causing fuel to over-
flow. In this case, re-press the
fuel filler door opening but-ton.
Do not leave the fuel filler
door opened for an extended
period of time. It may dis-
charge 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 lid," illuminates
on the LCD display.
Avoid refueling the vehicle
while charging the (high-volt-
age) hybrid battery. It may
cause a fire or an explosion
due to static electricity.

Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.

Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.Information
 The fuel tank capacity is specified in chapter 8.
 The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
 On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank. Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the catalytic converter.
Engine coolant temperature
This mode displays the temperatureof the engine coolant when the
engine is running.
NOTICE
i
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possibleafter the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the "E (Empty)"
level.

Parking Brake & BrakeFluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds and then goes off.
- It remains on if the parking brake is applied.
When the parking brake is applied.
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminateswith the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
When the regenerative brake does not operate.
When only one of the dual system is working, the stopping distancewill be increased.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. Stop the vehicle, immediately check the brake fluid level and add
fluid, if necessary (For more
information, refer to "Brake
Fluid" in the chapter 7). After
adding brake fluid, check all brake
components for fluid leaks. If a
brake fluid leak is found, or if the
warning light remains on, or if the
brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have the
vehicle inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems fails. With only one of the dual systems
working, longer pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure is required. If the brakes fail, while driving, shift
to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.
(red color)
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with
the parking brake released, itindicates that the brake fluid
level is low.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
