Foreword
Vehicle damage or driveability prob-
lems may not be covered by the man-
ufacturer’s warranty if they result from
the use of:
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.
1. Gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol.
2. Petrol or gasohol containing meth-
anol.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)
may reduce vehicle performance and
produce vapour lock or hard starting.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any
gasohol product which impairs
drivability.
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.)
Other fuels
Using fuel additives such as:
- Silicone fuel additive
- MMT (Magnanese, Mn) fuel addi-
tive
Do not use methanol
- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel addi-
tive
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.
- Other metallic-based fuel additives
may result in cylinder misfire, poor
acceleration, engine stalling, damage
to the catalyst, or abnormal corro-
sion, and may cause damage to the
engine resulting in a reduction in the
overall life of the powertrain.
NOTICE
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.
