Closing the Fuel Filler Door

1. To install the fuel cap, turn it clockwise until it clicks once.

2. Close the fuel filler door until it is securely latched.

Information

To lock the fuel filler door, make sure the fuel filler door is fully closed. Press the lock button on the remote key or smart key to lock the vehicle. The fuel filler door is also locked.

If the fuel filler door is not fully closed when the vehicle is locked, the fuel filler door will not be locked.

WARNING

Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death:

• Read and follow all warnings posted at the filling station.
• Before refueling, note the location of the emergency fuel shut-off, if available, at the filling station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, eliminate possible static electricity buildup by touching a metal part of the vehicle a safe distance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other fuel source with your bare hand.
• Do not use mobile phones while refueling. Electrical current and/or electronic interference from mobile phones may ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
• Do not re-enter the vehicle once you have started refueling. You may create a static electricity buildup by touching, rubbing, or sliding against any object or fabric capable of generating static electricity. A static electricity discharge may ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire. If you must re-enter the vehicle, again eliminate potentially dangerous static electricity by touching a metal part of the vehicle a safe distance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other fuel source with your bare hand.
• When using an approved portable fuel container, always place the container on the ground before refueling. A static electricity discharge from the container may ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire. After refueling has started, do not make contact between your bare hand and the vehicle until refueling is complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers designed for transporting and storing fuel.
• When refueling, always shift the shift lever to P (Park), apply the parking brake, and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position. Sparks generated by electrical components related to the engine may ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
• Do not use matches or a lighter, and do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle at the filling station, especially during refueling.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank, as this may cause fuel to spill.
• If a fire occurs during refueling, move away from the vehicle and immediately notify the filling station attendant, then contact the local fire department.
• If pressurized fuel sprays out, it may cover your clothing or skin and increase the risk of fire and burns. If fuel is released from the cap or you hear a hissing sound, wait until the condition stops before fully removing the cap.
• Always make sure the fuel filler cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of a collision.

NOTICE

• Do not spill fuel on exterior surfaces. This may damage the paint.
• If the cap needs to be replaced, use only genuine HYUNDAI caps, or the fuel system or emission control system may malfunction.
