• When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place
the container on the ground prior
to refuelling. Static electricity
discharge from the container can
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.
Once refuelling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store fuel.
• When refuelling, always shift the
gear to the P (Park) position, set
the parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire.
• Do not use matches or a lighter and
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette
in your vehicle whilst at a gas station,
especially during refuelling.
• Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause fuel
spillage.
• If a fire breaks out during refuelling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station and then contact
the local fire department. Follow any
safety instructions they provide.
• If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and thus
subject you to the risk of fire and
burns. Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. 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 an accident.

NOTICE
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces may
damage the paint.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, we recommend that
you only use a genuine Genesis cap
or the equivalent (of the genuine
part) specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can result
in a serious malfunction of the fuel
system or emission control system.
