Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system.

• When refuelling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire.
• When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure
to place the container on the
ground prior to refuelling.Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and
the vehicle should be main-
tained until the filling is com-
plete.
• Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store petrol.

• Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle whilst at a gas station,
especially during refuelling.
• Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
petrol spillage.
• If a fire breaks out during refu-
elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
• If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.

• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an
accident.
