Specifications

All information in this Owner's Manual is current at the time of publica-

tion. However, HYUNDAI reserves the right to make changes at any time

so that our policy of continual product improvement may be carried out.

This manual applies to all models of this vehicle and includes descrip-

tions and explanations of optional as well as standard equipment.

As a result, you may find material in this manual that does not apply to

your specific vehicle.

F2

Modification to the original vehicle specification may invalidate the manufacturers warranty

and may adversely affect the safety and durability of the vehicle.

Components which are subject to modification or are added to the original vehicle specifi-

cation without the express approval of the manufacturer and result in consequential loss or

damage are not covered by the vehicle manufacturers warranty.

Particular attention is drawn to the fitment of replacement road wheels having a different

specification to those installed in production. The electric power assisted steering system is

specifically programmed to operate only with the road wheels fitted during production. The

installation of alternative specification road wheels may result in the replacement road

wheels fouling the vehicle body resulting in tyre damage and compromised safety. The

installation of after market wheels on vehicles equipped with TPMS may result in wheel bal-

ancing difficulties or malfunction of the TPMS system.

We recommend that you contact a HYUNDAI authorised repairer before non original spec-

ification road wheels are installed.

Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic components. It is

possible for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio or mobile telephone to adverse-

ly affect electronic systems. For this reason, we recommend that you carefully follow the

radio manufacturer's instructions or consult your HYUNDAI authorised repairer for precau-

tionary measures or special instructions if you choose to install one of these devices.

Introduction

Petrol engine

Unleaded

We recommend to use unleaded

petrol which has an octane rating of

RON(Research Octane Number) 91 /

AKI (Anti Knock Index) 87 or higher.

Your new vehicle is designed to

obtain maximum performance with

UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-

imise exhaust emissions and spark

plug fouling.

Petrol containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and

ethanol (also known as grain alco-

hol), and petrol or gasohol containing

methanol (also known as wood alco-

hol) are being marketed along with or

instead of leaded or unleaded petrol.

Do not use gasohol containing more

than 10% ethanol, and do not use

petrol 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.

• Do not "top off" after the noz-

zle automatically shuts off

when refuelling.

• Always check that the fuel cap

is installed securely to pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event

of an accident.

WARNING

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The

use of leaded fuel is detrimental

to the catalytic converter and

will damage the engine control

system’s oxygen sensor and

affect emission control.

Never add any fuel system

cleaning agents to the fuel tank

other than what has been speci-

fied (We recommend that you

consult a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer for details.)

CAUTION

F8

Introduction

Vehicle damage or driveability prob-

lems may not be covered by the

manufacturer’s warranty if they result

from the use of:

1. Gasohol containing more than

10% ethanol.

2. Petrol or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

Other fuels

Using fuel additives such as:

- Silicone fuel additive

- MMT (Magnanese, Mn) fuel additive

- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive

- Other metallic-based fuel additives

may result in cylinder misfire, poor

acceleration, engine stalling, dam-

age to the catalyst, or abnormal cor-

rosion, and may cause damage to

the engine resulting in a reduction in

the overall life of the powertrain.

Damage to the fuel system or per-

formance problem caused by the

use of these fuels may not be cov-

ered by your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

Use of MTBE

HYUNDAI recommends avoiding

fuels containing MTBE (Methyl

Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) in

your vehicle.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%

vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)

may reduce vehicle performance and

produce vapour lock or hard starting.

NOTICE

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover dam-

age to the fuel system and any

performance problems that are

caused by the use of fuels con-

taining methanol or fuels con-

taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which con-

tains methanol. Discontinue

use of any gasohol product

which impairs drivability.

CAUTION

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.

Fuel Additives

We recommend to use unleaded

petrol which has an octane rating of

RON (Research Octane Number) 91

/ AKI (Anti Knock Index) 87 or higher.

For customers who do not use good

quality petrols including fuel addi-

tives regularly, and have problems

starting or the engine does not run

smoothly, one bottle of additive

added to the fuel tank according to

the maintenance schedule is recom-

mended. Additives are available from

your HYUNDAI authorised repairer

along with information on how to use

them. Do not mix other additives.

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle

in another country, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding

registration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is

available.

Diesel engine

Diesel fuel

Diesel engine must be operated only

on commercially available diesel fuel

that complies with EN 590 or compa-

rable standard. (EN stands for

"European Norm"). Do not use

marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or

non-approved fuel additives, as this

will increase wear and cause dam-

age to the engine and fuel system.

The use of non-approved fuels and /

or fuel additives will result in a limita-

tion 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 temperature 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

carefully : If the engine stops through

fuel failure, the circuits must be com-

pletely purged to permit restarting.

F9

Introduction

Biodiesel

Commercially supplied Diesel blends

of no more than 7% biodiesel, com-

monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be

used in your vehicle if Biodiesel

meets EN 14214 or equivalent spec-

ifications. (EN stands for "European

Norm"). The use of biofuels exceed-

ing 7% made from rapeseed methyl

ester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester

(FAME), 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.

• This vehicle should not be modi-

fied. Modification of your vehicle

could affect its performance, safety

or durability and may even violate

governmental safety and emis-

sions regulations.

In addition, damage or perform-

ance problems resulting from any

modification may not be covered

under warranty.

• If you use unauthorised electronic

devices, it may cause the vehicle to

operate abnormally, wire damage,

battery discharge and fire. For your

safety, do not use unauthorised

electronic devices.

F10

Introduction

Do not let any petrol or water

enter the tank. This would make

it necessary to drain it out and

to bleed the lines to avoid jam-

ming the injection pump and

damaging the engine.

CAUTION

Diesel Fuel

(if equipped with DPF)

It is recommended to use the

regulated 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 addi-

tives, it can cause the DPF sys-

tem to be damaged and white

smoke can be emitted.

CAUTION

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel, B7 biodiesel or other-

wise, that fails to meet the lat-

est petroleum industry speci-

fication.

• Never use any fuel additives

or treatments that are not rec-

ommended or approved by

the vehicle manufacturer.

CAUTION

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

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 centre of gravity

than other types of vehicles. In other

words they are not designed for cor-

nering at the same speeds as con-

ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeu-

vres. Again, failure to operate this

vehicle correctly 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.

By following a few simple precautions

for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you

may add to the performance, econo-

my and life of your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• Whilst 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 need-

ed to properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat

properly.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first

1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.

HYUNDAI promotes an environmen-

tally sound treatment for end of life

vehicles and offers to take back your

HYUNDAI end of life vehicles in

accordance with the European Union

(EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.

You can get detailed information

from your national HYUNDAI home-

page.
