Make sure the fuel filler door is

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.

Do not over-fill or top-off your

vehicle tank, which can cause fuel

spillage.

5-79

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.

Information

Make sure to refuel your vehicle according
to the “Fuel Requirements” section in
suggested in chapter 1.

NOTICE

Do not spill fuel on the exterior

surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of

fuel spilled on painted surfaces 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.

Fuel Filler Door (Plug-in hybrid

vehicle)

Opening the fuel filler door

WARNING

Before refueling, be sure to check

what type of fuel is used for your

vehicle. If you put diesel fuel into

a gasoline-powered vehicle or

gasoline into a diesel-powered

vehicle, it may affect the fuel system

and cause serious damage to the

vehicle.

Add fuel into the fuel tank within

20 minutes after opening the fuel

filler door. After 20 minutes, the fuel

tank may shut off, causing fuel to

overflow. In this case, re-press the

fuel filler door opening button.

Do not leave the fuel filler door

opened for an extended period of

time. It may discharge the battery.

Close the fuel filler door after fueling

the vehicle. If you start the vehicle

with the fuel filler door opened,

the message, “Check fuel door”,

illuminates on the LCD display.

Avoid refueling the vehicle while

charging the (high-voltage) hybrid

battery. It may cause a fire or an

explosion due to static electricity.

Closing the fuel filler door

1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise

until it “clicks” once. This indicates

that the cap is securely tightened.

2. Close the fuel filler lid and push it in

lightly making sure that it is securely

closed.

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.

Convenience Features

5-82

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.

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.

Information

Make sure to refuel your vehicle according
to the “Fuel Requirements” section in
suggested in chapter 1.

NOTICE

Do not spill fuel on the exterior

surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of

fuel spilled on painted surfaces 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.

WARNING

In case of using EV drive mode for a

certain time without running engine,

EMM (Engine Maintenance Mode) will

automatically activate by the system to

protect the fuel system and the engine.

Therefore, even though if it is possible

to use EV drive mode with enough

battery power, the engine may run by

the system to protect fuel system and

the engine. If you leave the fuel without

refueling or using for over 6 months, the

remained fuel in the fuel system may

be deteriorated. From this, corrosion

or blocking problem may occur. It is

recommended using minimum 40 % of

remained fuel at least every 6 months

by selecting Hybrid (CS)mode and

refuel the vehicle with new fuel.
