WARNING:
o Fuel vapors are dangerous. Be-
fore refueling, always stop the en-
gine and never allow sparks or
open flames near the filler area. If
you need to replace the filler cap,
use a genuine Hyundai replace-
ment part.
If you open the fuel filler cap dur-
ing 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.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, please note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to
follow these guidelines may re-
sult in severe personal injury, se-
vere burns or death by fire or
explosion.
- Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station facility.
- Before refueling, 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 potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching another metal part of
the front of the vehicle, a safe
distance 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.) capable of pro-
ducing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in explo-
sion.
If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again elimi-
nate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, con-
tact 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 vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic inter-
ference 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.
