Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.
Information
To lock the fuel filler door, make sure the
fuel filler door is completely closed. Press
the LOCK button on the remote key or
smart key to lock your vehicle. The fuel
filler door will also lock.
Note that if the fuel filler door is not
completely closed when the vehicle is
locked, the fuel filler door will not be
locked.
CAUTION
Make sure the fuel filler door is
completely closed before driving
through a car wash or operating a high
pressure spray washer.
WARNING
Automotive fuel 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 Fuel Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
• Do not use mobile phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire. •
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup 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
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other fuel source, with your bare
hand.
• 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
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store fuel.
• When refueling, always shift the
gear to the P (Park) position, set
the parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to 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.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• NEVER allow children or any person
who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the ignition switch or related
parts. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur.
• NEVER reach through the steering
wheel for the ignition switch, or any
other control, while the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your hand
or arm in this area may cause a loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Key ignition switch (if equipped)
OTM060051L[A] : LOCK, [B] : ACC
[C] : ON, [D] : START
Whenever the front door is opened, the
ignition switch will illuminate, provided
the ignition switch is not in the ON
position. The light will go off immediately
when the ignition switch is turned on or
go off after about 30 seconds when the
door is closed. (if equipped)
WARNING
• NEVER turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK or ACC position while the
vehicle is in motion except in an
emergency.
This will result in the engine turning
off and loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems. This may
lead to loss of directional control and
braking function, which could cause
an accident.
• Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever is in
P (Park, for automatic transmission
vehicle) position, apply the parking
brake, and turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK position.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
NOTICE
Never use aftermarket keyhole covers.
This may generate start-up failure due
to communication failure.

an accident.
• Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the gear is in the
P (Park) position, set the parking
brake, press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF position, and take
the Smart Key with you. Unexpected
vehicle movement may occur if these
precautions are not followed.
• NEVER reach through the steering
wheel for the Engine Start/Stop
button or any other control while the
vehicle is in motion. The presence
of your hand or arm in this area
may cause a loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

damage the brake system and lead to
an accident.
Information
During emergency braking, the Parking
Brake warning light will illuminate to
indicate that the system is operating.
NOTICE
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used for
emergency braking, we recommend
that you have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
