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.
Whenever 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.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel
filler cap, have one's hands in contact
with metal parts away from the filler
neck to discharge static electricity.
- Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything
that can produce static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in explosion.
- When using a portable fuel container
be sure to place the container on the
ground while refueling. Static elec-
tricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
While starting refueling contact should
be maintained until the filling is com-
plete.
!
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Before
refueling, always stop the engine and
never smoke or allow sparks and open
flames near the filler area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
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.
- Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station. The electric current or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks by electrical equip-
ment of the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. After refueling,
check to make sure the fuel filler cap
is securely closed, and then start the
engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive fu-
els are flammable.

pletely into the hole provided in the
hood whenever you inspect the engine
compartment. This will prevent the hood
from falling and possibly injuring you.

in the raised position, as vision is ob-
structed and the hood could fall or be
damaged.
