Petrol engine

CAUTION

WARNING

Unleaded

CAUTION indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided,

could result in minor or moderate

injury.

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.

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle

automatically shuts off when

refueling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an acci-

dent.

NOTICE

Your new vehicle is designed to

obtain maximum performance with

UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-

mize exhaust emissions and spark

plug fouling.

NOTICE indicates a situation which,

if not avoided, could result in vehicle

damage.

Leaded (if equipped)

For some countries, your vehicle is

designed to use leaded petrol.

When you are going to use leaded

petrol, we recommend that you ask

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

whether leaded petrol in your vehicle

is available or not.

CAUTION

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The

use of leaded fuel is detrimental to

the catalytic converter and will

damage the engine control sys-

tem’s oxygen sensor and affect

emission control.

Octane Rating of leaded petrol is

same with unleaded one.

Never add any fuel system clean-

ing agents to the fuel tank other

than what has been specified (We

recommend that you consult an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

details.)

Petrol containing alcohol and

methanol

Use of MTBE

CAUTION

HYUNDAI recommends avoiding

fuels containing MTBE (Methyl

Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) in

your vehicle.

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.

Never use gasohol which contains

methanol. Discontinue use of any

gasohol product which impairs dri-

vability.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%

vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)

may reduce vehicle performance and

produce vapor lock or hard starting.

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.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover damage

to the fuel system and any per-

formance problems that are

caused by the use of fuels con-

taining methanol or fuels contain-

ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl

Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen

Content 2.7% weight.)

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. Petrol or gasohol containing

methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

Biodiesel

Diesel engine

Diesel fuel

NOTICE

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.

Do not let any petrol or water enter

the tank. This would make it neces-

sary to drain it out and to bleed the

lines to avoid jamming the injection

pump and damaging the engine.

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.

NOTICE

- Diesel Fuel

(if equipped with DPF)

It is recommended to use the regu-

lated automotive diesel fuel for diesel

vehicle equipped with the DPF sys-

tem.

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.

If you use diesel fuel including high

sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and

unspecified additives, it can cause

the DPF system to be damaged and

white smoke can be emitted.

• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type

diesel fuel.

NOTICE

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,

that fails to meet the latest petrole-

um industry specification.

• 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.

• Never use any fuel additives or

treatments that are not recom-

mended or approved by the vehi-

cle manufacturer.
