Hyundai Tucson: Remote fuel-filter lid release
The fuel-filler lid may be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on the fuel-filler lid opener located on the front floor area on the left side of the vehicle.
NOTE: If the fuel-filler lid will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Do not pry on the lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an approved de-icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous. Before
refueling, always stop the engine and
never smoke or allow sparks and open
flames near the filler area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
filler cap properly installed, flammable
vapors and gasoline could leak out in
dangerous situations such as a collision
or rollover. If the filler cap must be
replaced, only use genuine Hyundai replacement
parts.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, otherwise
the "" light will illuminate.
o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pressure
sound" may be heard. This is normal
and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Do not "top-off" after the nozzle automatically
shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explosive
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel
filler cap, have one's hands in contact
with metal parts away from the filler
neck to discharge static electricity.
- Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything
that can produce static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in explosion.
- When using a portable fuel container
be sure to place the container on the
ground while refueling. Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
While starting refueling contact should
be maintained until the filling is complete.
- Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station. The electric current or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.
- When refueling always shut the engine
off. Sparks by electrical equipment
of the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. After refueling,
check to make sure the fuel filler cap
is securely closed, and then start the
engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive fuels
are flammable.
Hood release
1. Pull the release knob to unlatch the hood.
2. Push the secondary latch lever to the left and lift the hood.
3. Hold the hood open with the support rod.
Before closing the hood, return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling. Lower the hood until it is about 1 ft. (30 cm) above the closed position and let it drop. Make sure that it locks into place.
CAUTION: Make sure that the support rod has been released prior to closing the hood.
WARNING: o Always double check to be sure that the hood is firmly latched before driving away. If it is not latched, the hood could open while the vehicle is being driven, causing a total loss of visibility, which might result in an accident. o The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole provided in the hood whenever you inspect the engine compartment. This will prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you. o Do not move the vehicle with the hood in the raised position, as vision is obstructed and the hood could fall or be damaged.
