2C_FuelInletDoorOpen

5. 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 open the

door. If necessary, spray around the door

with an approved deicer fluid (do not use

radiator antifreeze) 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.

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.

5-63

• 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, apply the parking

brake, and set 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 fuel spillage.

• If a fire breaks out during refueling,

leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and

immediately contact 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 completely

removing the cap.

• Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an accident.

NOTICE

• Do not spill fuel on the exterior

surfaces. It may damage the paint.

• If the fuel filler cap needs to be

replaced, use only a genuine HYUNDAI

cap or the equivalent or the fuel system

or emission control system may

malfunction.
