o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Before
refueling, always stop the engine and
never smoke or allow sparks and open
flames near the filler area.

filler cap properly installed, flammable
vapors and gasoline could leak out in
dangerous situations such as a collision
or rollover. If the filler cap must be
replaced, only use genuine Hyundai re-
placement parts.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel spill-
age in the event of an accident.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, otherwise
the "
"light will illuminate.

o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pres-
sure sound" may be heard. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern. When-
ever you open the fuel filler cap, turn it
slowly.
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-
matically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explo-
sive materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in severe personal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the loca-
tion of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel
filler cap, you should eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal part
of the front of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item or
fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)

WARNING:

WARNING:
capable of producing static electric-
ity. Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in explo-
sion.
If you must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel container
be sure to place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static elec-
tricity 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
portable fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station or while refueling any ve-
hicle. Electric current and/or electronic
interference from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. If you must use your cellular
phone use it in a place away from the
gas station.
!
WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks produced by electri-
cal components related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Always insure that the engine is OFF
before and during refueling. Once re-
fueling is complete, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap and door are
securely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. 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 refuel-
ing. Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited, result in
explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager of
the gas station or contact the police
and local fire department. Follow any
safety instructions they provide.
