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.

maximum performance with UNLEADED

FUEL, as well as minimise exhaust emis-

sions and spark plug fouling.

A WARNING indicates a situation in

which harm, serious bodily injury or

death could result if the warning is

ignored.

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.

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 acci-

dent.

Petrol containing alcohol and

methanol

Use of MTBE

We recommend that fuels containing

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over

15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%

weight) should not be used in your vehi-

cle.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may

reduce vehicle performance and produce

vapour lock or hard starting.

Ethanol [E-10], a mixture of petrol and

ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),

and petrol or ethanol containing

methanol (also known as wood alcohol)

are being marketed along with or instead

of leaded or unleaded petrol.

Do not use ethanol containing more than

10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or

ethanol containing any methanol. Either

of these fuels may cause drivability prob-

lems and damage to the fuel system.

CAUTION

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.)

Discontinue using ethanol of any kind if

drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or driveability problems

may not be covered by the manufactur-

er’s warranty if they result from the use

of:

1. Ethanol containing more than 10%.

2. Petrol or ethanol containing methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded ethanol.

CAUTION

Never use ethanol which contains

methanol. Discontinue use of any

ethanol product which impairs dri-

vability.

• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type

Do not use methanol

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle in

another country, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding reg-

istration and insurance.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-

able.

diesel fuel.

• Below -5°C (23°F) ...Winter type diesel

fuel.

Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-

hol) should not be used in your vehicle.

This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-

formance and damage components of

the fuel system.

Watch the fuel level in the tank very care-

fully : If the engine stops through fuel fail-

ure, the circuits must be completely

purged to permit restarting.

CAUTION

Hyundai Warranty Policy will not

cover damage to the fuel system

and performance problems that are

caused by the use of methanol or

fuels containing methanol.

Diesel engine

A020201AUN-EA

CAUTION

• 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 jamming

the injection pump and damaging

the engine.

Diesel fuel

Diesel engine must be operated only on

commercially available diesel fuel that

complies with EN 590 or comparable

standard. (EN stands for "European

Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,

heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi-

tives, as this will increase wear and

cause damage 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 tem-

perature conditions.

A020106AUN-EA

Petrols for cleaner air

• In winter, in order to cut down

incidents due to freezing, paraffin

oil may be added to the fuel if the

temperature drops to below -10°C

(14°F). Never use more than 20%

paraffin oil.

To help contribute to cleaner air, we rec-

ommend that you use petrols treated

with detergent additives, which help pre-

vent deposit formation in the engine.

These petrols will help the engine run

cleaner and enhance performance of the

Emission Control System.
