Opening the fuel filler cap
The fuel filler cap must be opened from inside the vehicle using the handle located on the driver's door.
Note. If the fuel filler cap does not open because ice has formed around it, lightly tap or apply pressure on it to break the ice and release it. Don't put in too much effort. If necessary, use a suitable de-icer (do not use antifreeze from the engine cooling system) or move the car to a warm place and wait for the ice to melt.
1. Stop the engine.
2. To open the fuel filler cap, pull the cap handle up.
3. To fully open, pull out the fuel filler cap completely (1).
4. To remove the cover (2) turn it counterclockwise.
5. Fill the tank with the required amount of fuel.
Closing the fuel filler cap
1. To replace the filler cap, turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. A click indicates that the cover is securely tightened.
2. Close the fuel filler cap and push it down slightly, then make sure it is securely closed.
Attention.
- Refueling a car.
- If pressurized fuel is spurted out, it may come into contact with your clothing or skin, exposing you to the risk of fire and burns. Always open the filler cap carefully and slowly. If fuel leaks from the cover or a hissing sound is heard, wait until these phenomena stop, then fully open the cover.
- Do not add fuel to the tank up to the upper edge of the filler neck after the fuel nozzle automatically turns off during refueling.
- After you finish refueling your vehicle, always make sure that the filler cap is tightly closed so that fuel does not spill out in the event of an accident.
Attention.
- Dangers when refueling a car.
- Automotive fuel is flammable. When refueling the vehicle, carefully follow the recommendations below. Failure to do so may result in serious injury, burns, or death due to fire or explosion.
- While at the gas station, read and follow all warning instructions.
- Before refueling the car, pay attention to the location of the button for the emergency stop of the fuel supply, if it is provided at the gas station.
- Potentially dangerous static electricity must be removed before touching the fuel nozzle. To do this, touch any metal part of the car that is at a safe distance from the fuel filler neck, fuel nozzle and other objects that come into contact with fuel.
- Do not get into the vehicle after starting refueling, as this may cause static electricity to be generated by touching an object or piece of cloth (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.), that can cause such an effect. A discharge of static electricity can ignite fuel vapors and cause the fire to spread rapidly. If you need to return to the car, you must once again remove the potentially dangerous charge of static electricity. To do this, touch any metal part at the front of the vehicle that is at a safe distance from the fuel filler neck, fuel nozzle and other objects that come into contact with fuel.
- If using a fuel canister, be sure to place it on the ground before filling it with fuel. Discharge of static electricity from the canister can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire. After starting refueling, it is necessary to maintain contact with the car body until it is completed. Use only plastic canisters that are designed for transporting and storing gasoline.
- Do not use cell phones when refueling. Electric currents induced by them or interference caused by them with a small probability can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
- Always turn off the engine when refueling the vehicle. Sparks from engine electrical equipment can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire. Once the refueling operation is completed, check the tightness of the cap and the fuel filler cap before starting the engine.
- Do not use matches or a lighter, do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette in the vehicle while it is at a gas station, especially while refueling.
- Automotive fuel is highly flammable and its ignition can lead to a fire
- In the event of a fire during refueling, move away from the vehicle and immediately contact the gas station personnel and then the fire department. Follow all safety instructions.
Attention.
- If the fuel filler cap needs to be replaced, use only a Hyundai Genuine or equivalent designed for this vehicle. Using the wrong plug can result in serious failure of the fuel or emission control system.
- Avoid spilling fuel on the outside of the vehicle. Any type of fuel that comes into contact with painted surfaces can damage the paintwork.
- After refueling the vehicle, make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
