FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Petrol engine

Unleaded

For the optimal vehicle performance, we recommend you use unleaded petrol

which has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti

Knock Index) 91 or higher. You may use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of

RON 91-94 / AKI 87-90 but it may result in slight performance reduction of the

vehicle. (Do not use methanol blended fuels)

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED

FUEL, as well as minimise exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.

NOTICE

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is detrimental to the cata-

lytic converter and will damage the engine control system’s oxygen sensor

and affect emission control.

Also, severe wear and crack of piston ring, valve, etc., may occur and knock-

ing noise may be heard from your engine.

Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what

has been specified (We recommend that you consult a HYUNDAI authorised

repairers for details.)

WARNING

• Do not “top off” after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refuelling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage

in the event of an accident.

1-1-5

Foreword

Petrol containing alcohol and methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol), and petrol

or gasohol containing methanol (also known as wood alcohol) 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 prob-

lems and damage to the fuel system, engine control system and emission control

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. Petrol or gasohol containing methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which contains methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol

product which impairs drivability.

Using Fuel Additives

Using fuel additives such as:

- Silicone fuel additive

- MMT (Manganese, Mn) fuel additive

- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive

- Other metallic-based fuel additives

May result in cylinder misfire, poor acceleration, engine stalling, engine plugging,

heavy knocking noise, damage to the catalyst, or abnormal corrosion, and may

cause damage to the engine resulting in a reduction in the overall life of the pow-

ertrain. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may illuminate.

NOTICE

Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use of

these fuels may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

1-1-6

01

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.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuel system

and any performance problems 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.)

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

HYUNDAI recommends that you use unleaded petrol 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 quality petrols including fuel additives regu-

larly, 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 (refer to the

Service Passport in your vehicle).

Additives are available from your HYUNDAI authorised repairer along with informa-

tion 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.

Foreword

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

• This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its

performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and

emissions regulations.

In addition, damage or performance 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, we recom-

mend that you do not use unauthorised electronic devices.

VEHICLE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result

in loss of control, an accident or vehicle rollover.

Specific design characteristics (higher ground clearance, track, etc.) give this vehi-

cle a higher centre of gravity than other types of vehicles. In other words they are

not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehi-

cles. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres. 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 6 of this

manual.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS

By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may

add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• Whilst driving, avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Vary-

ing engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.

• Fuel economy and engine performance may vary depending on vehicle break-in

process and be stabilized after 4,000 miles (6,000 km). New engines may con-

sume more oil during the vehicle break-in period.

• Don’t tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.

RETURNING USED VEHICLES

HYUNDAI promotes an environmentally 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 homepage.

Foreword

VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS

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 vehi-

cle dynamics and safety systems 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 traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which

crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is 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 (for example, name, gender, age, and

crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, 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 informa-

tion if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
