2. Close the fuel filler lid and push it in lightly making sure that it is securely closed.

WARNING - Refueling

(cid:129) 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.

(cid:129) Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refueling.

(cid:129) Tighten the cap until it clicks one time, otherwise the Malfunction Indicator Light will illuminate. (cid:129) Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an acci- dent.

WARNING - Refueling dan-

gers

Automotive fuels are flammable materials. When refueling, please note the following guidelines care- fully. Failure to follow these guide- lines may result in severe personal injury, severe burns or death by fire or explosion. (cid:129) Read and follow all warnings posted at the gas station facility. (cid:129) Before refueling, note the loca- tion of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at the gas station facility.

(cid:129) Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially dangerous static electricity dis- charge by touching another metal part of the vehicle, a safe dis- tance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas source. (Continued)

(Continued) (cid:129) Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling since you can generate static electricity by touching, rubbing or sliding against any item or fab- ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of producing static elec- tricity. Static electricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors resulting in rapid burning. If you must re- enter the vehicle, you should once again eliminate potentially dangerous static electricity dis- charge by touching a metal part of the vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other gaso- line source.

(cid:129) When using

an

the container on

approved portable fuel container, be sure to place the ground prior to refueling. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, contact with the vehicle should be maintained until the filling is complete.

Features of your vehicle

(Continued)

Use only approved portable plas- tic fuel containers designed to carry and store gasoline.

(cid:129) Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or electronic interference from cel- lular phones can potentially ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. (cid:129) When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related to the engine can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling is complete, check to make sure the filler cap and filler door are securely closed, before starting the engine.

(cid:129) 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. Automotive fuel is highly flammable and can, when ignited, result in fire.

STEERING WHEEL Electric power steering (EPS) The power steering uses a motor to assist you in steering the vehicle. If the engine is off or if the power steering sys- tem becomes inoperative, the vehicle may still be steered, but it will require increased steering effort. The motor driven power steering is con- trolled by a power steering control unit which senses the steering wheel torque and vehicle speed to command the motor. The steering becomes heavier as the vehicle’s speed increases and becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed decreases for optimum steering control. Should you notice any change in the effort required to steer during normal vehicle operation, have the power steer- ing checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CAUTION

(cid:129) If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normal- ly,the warning light will illuminate on the instrument cluster. The steering wheel may become diffi- cult to control or operate abnor- mally. Take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.

(cid:129) When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature,abnor- mal noise could occur.If tempera- ture rises, the noise will disap- pear.This is a normal condition.

(cid:129) When the vehicle is stationary,if you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right continu- ously, the steering wheel becomes heavier from the end. But this is for your safety,not sys- tem malfunction.As time passes, the steering wheel return to its normal condition.

Features of your vehicle

✽✽ NOTICE The following symptoms may occur dur- ing normal vehicle operation: • The EPS warning light does not illu-

minate.

• The steering gets heavy immediately after turning the ignition switch on. This happens as the system performs the EPS system diagnostics. When the diagnostics is completed, the steering wheel will return to its normal condi- tion.

• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is turned to the ON or LOCK (OFF) position.

• A motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving speed.

• If the Electric Power Steering System does not operate normally, the warning light will illuminate on the instrument cluster. The steering wheel may become difficult to control or operate abnormally. Take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the vehicle checked as soon as possible. • When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal noise could occur. If temperature rises, the noise will disappear. This is a normal condition.
