Opening the fuel filler door

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Push the fuel filler door opener

button.

3. Pull the fuel filler door (1) out to

fully open.

4. To remove the fuel tank cap (2),

turn it counterclockwise. You may
hear a hissing noise as the pres-
sure inside the tank equalizes.
Place the cap on the fuel filler door.

Information 

If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break the
ice and release the door. Do not pry on
the door. If necessary, spray around the
door with an approved de-icer fluid (do
not use radiator anti-freeze) or move
the vehicle to a warm place and allow
the ice to melt.

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.

Gasoline 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
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.

• Before touching the fuel noz-

zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.

(Continued)

WARNING

3-42

Convenient features of your vehicle

(Continued)
• Do not use cellular phones

while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.

• Do not get back into a vehicle

once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up 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 touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline
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 gasoline.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• When refueling, always move

the shift lever to the P (Park)
position,

set the parking

brake, and place 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.

• Do not over-fill or top-off your

vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.

• If a fire breaks out during refu-

eling, 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 pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.

Information 

• Make sure to refuel your vehicle

according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter.

• Do not spill fuel on the exterior sur-

faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel
spilled on painted surfaces may dam-
age the paint.

If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a Genesis/
Hyundai Part 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 sys-
tem.

Emergency fuel filler door
release

If the fuel filler door does not open
using the remote fuel filler door
release button, you can open it man-
ually. Pull the handle of the release
located on the left side of the lug-
gage compartment outward slightly.

Do not pull the handle excessive-
ly, otherwise the luggage area trim
or release handle may be dam-
aged.

Gauges

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed
of the vehicle and is calibrated in kilo-
meters per hour (km/h) and/or miles
per hour (MPH).

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.

Do not operate the engine within
the tachometer's RED ZONE. This
may cause severe engine damage.

Engine coolant temperature
gauge

This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.

If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the
"H (Hot)" position, it indicates
overheating that may damage the
engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehicle
overheats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 6.

cool before adding coolant to the
reservoir.

WARNING

Fuel gauge

This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.

Information 

• The fuel tank capacity is given in

chapter 8.

• The fuel gauge is supplemented by a

low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.

• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge

pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank.

Avoid driving with a extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire
damaging the catalytic converter.

Outside Temperature  Gauge

This gauge indicates the current out-
side air temperatures by 1°C (1°F).
- Temperature range :

-40°C ~ 60°C (-40°F ~ 140°F)

The outside temperature on the dis-
play may not immediately change
like a general thermometer (to avoid
distracting the driver).
The temperature unit (from °C to °F
or from °F to °C) can be changed by:

- User Settings mode in the Cluster :

You can change the temperature
unit in the “Other Features -
Temperature unit” .

- Automatic climate control system :

While pressing the OFF button,
press the AUTO button for 3 sec-
onds or more.

The temperature unit of the instrument
cluster and climate control system will
change at once.

Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possible
after the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the "E (Empty)"
level.

WARNING

Odometer

The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.

Range

The range is the estimated distance
the vehicle can be driven with the
remaining fuel in the fuel tank.
If the estimated distance is below 1 km
(1 mile), the cluster will display "----" as
the range.

Information 

• If the vehicle is not on level ground

or the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the range function may not
operate correctly.

• The range may differ from the actu-

al driving distance as it is an esti-
mate of the available driving dis-
tance.

• The range may not register addition-

al fuel if less than 6 liters of fuel are
added to the vehicle.

• The range may vary significantly

based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.

Dual-diagonal braking system

Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure is
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
