serious bodily injury or death if

the warning is ignored.

CAUTION

A CAUTION indicates that a con-

dition may result in damage to

your vehicle if the caution is

13

Introduction

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain

maximum performance with UNLEAD-

ED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust

emissions and spark plug fouling.

Your new vehicle is designed to use

only unleaded fuel having a pump

octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87

(Research Octane Number 91) or

higher. (Do not use methanol blend-

ed fuels.)

Never add any fuel system cleaning

agents to the fuel tank other than what

has been specified. (Consult an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

details.)

Gasoline containing alcohol or

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and

ethanol (also known as grain alco-

hol) are being marketed along with or

instead of leaded or unleaded gaso-

line. For example, "E15" is a gasohol

comprised of 15% ethanol and 85%

gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more

than 15% ethanol, and do not use

gasoline or gasohol containing any

methanol. Either of these fuels may

cause drivability problems and dam-

age to the fuel system, engine control

system and emission control system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any

kind if drivability problems occur.

"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-

prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15

percent gasoline, and is manufac-

tured exclusively for use in Flexible

Fuel Vehicles. "E85" is not compati-

ble with your vehicle. Use of "E85"

may result in poor engine perform-

ance and damage to your vehicle's

engine and fuel system. HYUNDAI

recommends that customers do not

use fuel with an ethanol content

exceeding 15 percent.

✽✽

NOTICE

To prevent damage to your vehicle’s

engine and fuel system:

• Never use gasohol which contains

methanol.

• Never use gasohol containing

more than 15% ethanol.

• Never use leaded fuel or leaded

gasohol.

• Never use "E85" fuel.

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty does not cover damage to

the fuel system or any performance

problems caused by the use of

"E85" fuel.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING -

Refueling

• Do not "top off" after the noz-

zle automatically shuts off

when refueling. Attempts to

force more fuel into the tank

can cause fuel overflow onto

you and the ground causing a

risk of fire.

• Always check that the fuel cap

is installed securely to pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event

of an accident.

Introduction

41

Other fuels

Using fuels such as;

- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,

- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and

- Other metallic additives contained

fuels,

may cause vehicle and engine dam-

age or cause plugging, misfiring,

poor acceleration, 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

Warranty.

Gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains harmful

manganese-based fuel additives

such as MMT

(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese

Tricarbonyl).

HYUNDAI does not recommend the

use of gasoline containing MMT.

This type of fuel can reduce vehicle

performance and affect your emis-

sion control system.

The malfunction indicator lamp on

the cluster may come on.

Do not use methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood

alcohol) should not be used in your

vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce

vehicle performance and damage

components of the fuel system,

engine control system and emission

control system.

✽✽

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover damage to

the fuel system and any perform-

ance problems that are caused by

the use of fuels containing methanol.

15

Introduction

Fuel Additives

HYUNDAI recommends that you use

good quality gasolines treated with

detergent additives such as TOP

TIER Detergent Gasoline, which

help prevent deposit formation in the

engine.

These gasolines will help the engine

run cleaner and enhance perform-

ance of the Emission Control

System. For more information on

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline,

please go to the website (www.top-

tiergas.com)

For customers who do not use TOP

Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly,

and have problems starting their

vehicle or the engine does not run

smoothly, additives that you can buy

separately may be added to the

gasoline.

If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is

not available, one bottle of additive

added to the fuel tank at every

7,500mile or every engine oil change

is recommended. Additives are avail-

able from your authorized HYUNDAI

dealer along with information on how

to use them. Do not mix other addi-

tives.

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle

in another state, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding

registration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is

available.

Introduction

61

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS

No special break-in period is need-

ed.By following a few simple precau-

tions for the first 600 miles (1,000

km) you may add to the perform-

ance, economy and life of your vehi-

cle.

• 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 vehicle

speed for long periods of time,

either fast or slow. Varying the

engine speed is needed to proper-

ly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat

properly.

As with other vehicles of this type,

failure to operate this vehicle correct-

ly may result in loss of control, an

accident or vehicle rollover.

Specific design characteristics (high-

er ground clearance, track, etc.) give

this vehicle a higher center of gravity

than other types of vehicles. It is not

designed for cornering at the same

speeds as a conventional 2-wheel

drive sedans or sports coupe. Avoid

sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.

Failure to operate this vehicle cor-

rectly may result in loss of control, an

accident or vehicle rollover. Be sure

to read the "Reducing the risk of a

rollover" driving guidelines, in

section 5 of this manual.

CALIFORNIA PROPO-

SITION 65 WARNING

Items contained in motor vehi-

cles or emitted from them are

known to the State of California

to cause cancer and birth

defects or reproductive harm.

These include:

• Gasoline and its vapors

• Engine exhaust

• Used engine oil

• Interior passenger compart-

ment components and materi-

als

• Component parts which are

subject to heat and wear

In addition, battery posts, termi-

nals and related accessories

contain lead, lead compounds

and other chemicals known to

the State of California to cause

cancer and reproductive harm.

VEHICLE HANDLING

INSTRUCTIONS

17

Introduction

This vehicle is equipped with an

event data recorder (EDR). The

main purpose of an EDR is to

record, in certain crash or near

crash-like situations, such as an

air bag deployment or hitting a

road obstacle, data that will assist

in understanding how a vehicle's

systems performed. The EDR is

designed to record data related to

vehicle dynamics and safety sys-

tems for a short period of time,

typically 30 seconds or less. The

EDR in this vehicle is designed to

record such data as:

• How various systems in your

vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and

passenger safety belts were

buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator

and/or brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was travel-

ing.

These data can help provide a bet-

ter understanding of the circum-

stances in which crashes and

injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are

recorded by your vehicle only if a

non-trivial crash situation occurs;

no data are recorded by the EDR

under normal driving conditions

and no personal data (e.g., name,

gender, age, and crash location)

are recorded. However, other par-

ties, such as law enforcement,

could combine the EDR data with

the type of personally identifying

data routinely acquired during a

crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR,

special equipment is required, and

access to the vehicle or the EDR is

needed. In addition to the vehicle

manufacturer, other parties, such

as law enforcement, that have the

special equipment, can read the

information if they have access to

the vehicle or the EDR.
