Introduction

Gasoline engine

Unleaded

For Europe

For the optimal vehicle performance, we

recommend you use unleaded gasoline

which has an octane rating of RON

(Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI

(Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher. (Do not

use methanol blended fuels.)

You may use unleaded gasoline with an

octane rating of RON 91~94/AKI 87~90

but it may result in slight performance

reduction of the vehicle.

Except Europe

Your new vehicle is designed to use only

unleaded fuel having an Octane Rating

of RON (Research Octane Number) 91/

AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher.

(Do not use methanol blended fuels.)

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain

maximum performance with UNLEADED

FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust emis-

sions and spark plug fouling.

Leaded (if equipped)

For some countries, your vehicle is

designed to use leaded gasoline. When

you are going to use leaded gasoline, we

recommend that you ask an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer whether leaded gaso-

line in your vehicle is available or not.

Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is

same with unleaded one.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The

use of leaded fuel is detrimental to

the catalytic converter and will

damage the engine control sys-

tem’s oxygen sensor and affect

emission control.

Never add any fuel system cleaning

agents to the fuel tank other than

what has been specified. (We rec-

ommend that you consult with an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

details.)

WARNING

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle

automatically shuts off when

refueling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an acci-

dent.

Introduction

41

Gasoline containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and

ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),

and gasoline or gasohol containing

methanol (also known as wood alcohol)

are being marketed along with or instead

of leaded or unleaded gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more than

10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or

gasohol containing any methanol. Either

of these fuels may cause drivability prob-

lems and damage to the fuel system,

engine control system and emission con-

trol system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if

drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or driveability problems

may not be covered by the manufacturer’s

warranty if they result from the use of:

1. Gasohol containing more than 10%

ethanol.

2. Gasoline or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

Other fuels

Using fuels such as;

- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,

- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained fuel,

- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and

- Other metallic additives contained

fuels,

may cause vehicle and engine damage

or cause plugging, misfiring, poor acceler-

ation, engine stalling, catalyst melting,

abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduction,

etc. Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp

(MIL) may illuminate.

✽

NOTICE

Damage to the fuel system or per-

formance problem caused by the use

of these fuels may not be covered by

your New Vehicle Limited Warrenty.

Use of MTBE

Fuels containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen

Content 2.7% weight) should not be used

in your vehicle.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may

reduce vehicle performance and produce

vapor lock or hard starting.

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which contains

methanol. Discontinue use of any

gasohol product which impairs dri-

vability.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty

may not cover damage to the fuel

system and any performance prob-

lems that are caused by the use of

fuels containing methanol or fuels

containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

15

Introduction

Do not use methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-

hol) should not be used in your vehicle.

This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-

formance and damage components of

the fuel system, engine control system

and emission control system.

Fuel Additives

HYUNDAI recommends that you use

unleaded gasoline which has an octane

rating of RON (Research Octane

Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91

or higher (for Europe) or Octane Rating

of RON (Research Octane Number) 91 /

AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher

(except Europe).

For customers who do not use good qual-

ity gasoline including fuel additives regu-

larly, and have problems starting or the

engine does not run smoothly, one bottle

of additives added to the fuel tank at every

15,000km (for Europe)/5,000km (except

Europe). Additives are available from your

authorized HYUNDAI dealer along with

information on how to use them.

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle in

another country, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding reg-

istration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-

able.

Introduction

Diesel engine

Diesel fuel

Diesel engine must be operated only on

commercially available diesel fuel that

complies with EN 590 or comparable

standard. (EN stands for "European

Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,

heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi-

tives, as this will increase wear and

cause damage to the engine and fuel

system. The use of non-approved fuels

and / or fuel additives will result in a limi-

tation of your warranty rights.

Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in

your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel

are available, use summer or winter fuel

properly according to the following tem-

perature conditions.

• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type

diesel fuel.

• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel

fuel.

Watch the fuel level in the tank very care-

fully : If the engine stops through fuel fail-

ure, the circuits must be completely

purged to permit restarting.

Biodiesel

Commercially supplied Diesel blends of

no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly

known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in

your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214

or equivalent specifications. (EN stands

for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-

els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed

methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl

ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester

(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding

7% with biodiesel will cause increased

wear or damage to the engine and fuel

system. Repair or replacement of worn or

damaged components due to the use of

non approved fuels will not be covered by

the manufactures warranty.

CAUTION

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,

that fails to meet the latest petro-

leum industry specification.

• Never use any fuel additives or

treatments that are not recom-

mended or approved by the vehi-

cle manufacturer.

CAUTION

Do not let any gasoline or water

enter the tank. This would make it

necessary to drain it out and to

bleed the lines to avoid jamming the

injection pump and damaging the

engine.

CAUTION - Diesel Fuel

It is recommended to use the regu-

lated automotive diesel fuel for

diesel vehicle equipped with the

DPF system.

If you use diesel fuel including high

sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and

unspecified additives, it can cause

the DPF system to be damaged and

white smoke can be emitted.

17

Introduction

Biodiesel (for New Zealand)

Commercially supplied Diesel blends of

no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly

known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in

your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214

or equivalent specifications. (EN stands

for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-

els exceeding 7%, made from rapeseed

methyl ester (RME), vegetable oil methyl

ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceed-

ing 7% with biodiesel will cause

increased wear or damage to the engine

and fuel system. Repair or replacement

of worn or damaged components due to

the use of non approved fuels will not be

covered by the manufactures warranty.

No special break-in period is needed. By

following a few simple precautions for the

first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to

the performance, economy and life of

your vehicle:

• Do not race the engine.

• While driving, keep your engine speed

(rpm, or revolutions per minute) between

2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

• Do not maintain a single speed for long

periods of time, either fast or slow.

Varying engine speed is needed to

properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies,

to allow the brakes to seat properly.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000

km (1,200 miles) of operation.

CAUTION

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,

that fails to meet the latest petro-

leum industry specification.

• Never use any fuel additives or

treatments that are not recom-

mended or approved by the vehi-

cle manufacturer.
