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.

(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.

(Continued)

(Continued) (cid:129) If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi- cle, and immediately contact the manager of the gas station and then contact the local fire depart- ment or 911. Follow any safety instructions they provide.

CAUTION

(cid:129) Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the "Fuel require- ments" suggested in section 1.

(cid:129) 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.

(cid:129) Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle.Any type of fuel spilled on painted surfaces may damage the paint.

STEERING WHEEL Electric power steering 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, steering wheel position and vehicle speed to command the motor. The steering wheel 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.

28

Tilt steering/Telescope steering (if equipped) Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can also raise the steering wheel to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle (if equipped).

The steering wheel should be positioned so that it is comfortable for you to drive, while permitting you to see the instru- ment panel warning lights and gauges.

WARNING

(cid:129) Never adjust the angle and height of steering wheel while driving. You may lose your steering con- trol and cause severe personal injury or accidents.

(cid:129) After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be certain it is locked in position.

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

minate.

• The steering wheel becomes heavier 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.

• Click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is turned to the ON or LOCK position.

• 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 warn- ing light will illuminate on the instru- ment 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.

OLM049033L To change the steering wheel angle, pull down the lock-release lever (1), adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) and the desired position (if equipped) (3), then pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure to adjust the steering wheel to the desired position before driving.
