Fuel Filler Door
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, 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 may 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 may ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must re-enter the vehicle, 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 may ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, contact between your bare hand and maintain the vehicle 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, apply the parking brake, and move the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF position. Sparks produced by electrical components related to the engine may 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 at a gas station, especially during refueling.
-
Do not over-fill or top-off your vehicle tank, which may cause fuel spillage.
-
If a fire breaks out during refueling, get away from the vehicle, and immediately contact a gas station employee and then contact the local fire department.
-
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or skin and increase the risk of fire and burns. 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 a collision.
-
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces. It may damage the paint.
-
If the cap needs to be replaced, only use a genuine HYUNDAI cap or the fuel system or emission control system may malfunction.
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the Fuel Requirements.
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the 'Fuel Requirements' section in chapter 10 of the complete Owner's Manual.

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 cluster display.
-
Avoid refueling the vehicle while charging the (high-voltage) hybrid battery. It may cause a fire or an explosion due to static electricity.
-

Press the Door Unlock button on your smart key.
Press the central door unlock button on the driver's door.
Pull out the driver's side inside door handle.
-
If the fuel filler door does not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the door to break the ice and release the door. Do not open the door. If necessary, spray around the door with an approved deicer fluid (do not use radiator antifreeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
-
It may take up to 20 seconds to unlock the fuel filler door.

-
In case of using EV drive mode for a certain time without running the engine, EMM (Engine Maintenance Mode) will be automatically activated by the system to protect the fuel system and the engine. Therefore, even though it is possible to use EV drive mode with enough battery power, the engine may run by the system to protect the 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.
