!WARNING:
Fuel vapors are dangerous. Before refueling, always stop the engineand never allow sparks or open flames near the filler area. If you need to replace the filler cap, use agenuine Hyundai replacement part. If you open the fuel filler cap during high ambient temperatures, a slight"pressure sound" may be heard. This is normal and not a cause for concern.Whenever you open the fuel filler cap, turn it slowly. HHP2015-D
o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-ing, please note the following guidelines carefully.- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, have one'shands in contact with metalparts away from the filler neck to discharge static electricity.
- Do not get back in the vehicle
while refueling. Do not operateanything that can produce static electricity. Static electricity dis- charge can ignite fuel vapors resulting in an explosion.
- When using a portable fuel con- tainer, be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground while refu-eling. Static electricity dis- charge from the container can ignite fuel vapors causing afire. While starting refueling, contact should be maintained until the filling is complete.
- Do not use cellular phones around a gas station. The elec-tric current or electronic inter-ference from cellular phones can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
REMOTE FUEL-FILLER LID RELEASE
B560A02HP-GAT The fuel-filler lid may be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on the fuel-filler lid release lever located be- low the right of the driver's side crashpad. NOTE: If the fuel-filler lid will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Donot pry on the lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an ap- proved de-icer fluid (do not useradiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt. B560A01HP

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
5SPARE TIRE
!
!!WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields. WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assis- tance. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the enginetemperature has returned to nor-mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reser- voir (Page 6-12) to bring the fluidlevel in the reservoir up to the half- way mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soonas possible by a Hyundai dealer. D040A01HP-GAT The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tire should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as possible after installing the spare tire,and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure should be periodi- cally checked and maintained at thespecified pressure while the tire is stored. Spare Tire Pressure

F060E01A-AAT
o Timing belt Inspect all parts related to the timing belt for damage and deformation. Re- place any damaged parts immediately. F060G01A-AAT
o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched-ule. Make sure that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced. F060F0HP-AAT
o Crankcase Ventilation Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Particu- lar attention should be paid to examine those hose surfaces nearest to highheat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or mov-ing component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clampsand couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immedi-ately if there is any evidence of dete- rioration or damage.
F070C01A-AAT
o Coolant
The coolant should be changed atthe intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hosesand connections for leakage and dam-age. Replace any damaged parts.

10CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
!
G050A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is underpressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you donot observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to touch.
G350A01A-GAT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should
consume some engine oil while nor- mal driving. The cause of oil con-sumption in a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on thecylinder wall when a piston movesdownwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur- ing engine operation sucks someof the oil into the combustion cham- ber. This oil with some oil of the cylin- der wall is burned by the high tem- perature combustion gases duringthe combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly effected by the viscosityand quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration than normal driv-ing condition.
!
! CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil using by a funnel. Do not overfillnot to damage engine.
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator hose when adding the en- gine oil as it may be hot enough toburn you.

NOTE: Gasoline Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator, unscrew the bolts on theengine cover, remove the engine cover and unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escapethe excess pressure. And if the coolant overflows from the hole while adding the coolant, screwthe bolt and continue to add the coolant.
G050D01HP 2. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator capby pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise.
3. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine cool- ant to drain from the cooling sys-tem, then securely close the drain cock. HHP5006

4. Check Section 9 for the capacity of
the cooling system in your car. Then, following the manufacturer’s directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriate quan-tity of coolant to the radiator.
5. Fill the radiator with clean deminer-
alized or distilled water. Continueto add clean demineralized or dis- tilled water in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the radia-tor neck.
