Your HYUNDAI should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may adversely affect

the performance, safety or durability of your HYUNDAI and may, in addition, violate condi-

tions of the limited warranties covering the vehicle. Certain modifications may also be in vio-

lation of regulations established by the Department of Transportation and other government

agencies in your country.

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

possible for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio or cellular telephone to adversely

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

manufacturer's instructions or consult your HYUNDAI dealer for precautionary measures or

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

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

F5

Introduction

DANGER indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious

injury.

DANGER

WARNING indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious

injury.

WARNING

F6

Introduction

NOTICE indicates a situation

which, if not avoided, could result

in vehicle damage.

Gasoline engine

Unleaded

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.

Your new vehicle is designed to

obtain maximum performance with

UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-

mize exhaust emissions 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 gasoline in your

vehicle is available or not.

Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is

same with unleaded one.

NOTICE

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 an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer for details.)

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided,

could result in minor or moder-

ate injury.

CAUTION

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

• Do not "top off" after the noz-

zle automatically shuts off

when refueling.

• Always check that the fuel cap

is installed securely to pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event

of an accident.

WARNING

F7

Introduction

Gasoline containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and

ethanol (also known as grain alco-

hol), and gasoline or gasohol con-

taining 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 problems and dam-

age to the fuel system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any

kind if drivability problems occur.

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. Gasoline or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

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 vapor lock or hard starting.

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

F8

Introduction

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.

Fuel Additives

HYUNDAI recommends that you use

good quality gasolines meet Europe

Fuel standards (EN228) or equiva-

lents.

For customers who do not use good

quality gasolines including fuel addi-

tives regularly, and have problems

starting or the engine does not run

smoothly, one bottle of additives added

to the fuel tank at every 5,000 km.

Additives are available from your

authorized HYUNDAI dealer 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.

F9

Introduction

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.

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.

- Diesel Fuel

(if equipped with DPF)

It is recommended to use the reg-

ulated automotive diesel fuel for

diesel vehicle equipped with the

DPF system.

If you use diesel fuel including

high sulfur (more than 50 ppm sul-

fur) and unspecified additives, it

can cause the DPF system to be

damaged and white smoke can be

emitted.

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.

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel, B7 biodiesel or other-

wise, that fails to meet the latest

petroleum industry specifica-

tion.

• Never use any fuel additives or

treatments that are not recom-

mended or approved by the

vehicle manufacturer.

NOTICE

No special break-in period is need-

ed. By following a few simple precau-

tions for the first 1,000 km (600

miles) 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 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 emer-

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat

properly.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first

2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-

tion.
