Use Unleaded Gasoline
For Europe – For the optimal vehicle
performance, we recommend you to
use unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of RON (Research Octane Num-
ber) 95 /AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or
higher.
You may use unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of RON 91~94/AKI 87~90
but it may result in slight performance
reduction of the vehicle.
Except Europe – Unleaded gasoline
with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Re-
search Octane Number 91) or higher
must be used in Hyundai vehicle.
If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause
the catalytic converter to become inef-
fective and the emission control sys-
tem to malfunction.
This can also result in increased main-
tenance expense. To avoid accidental
use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle
used with leaded gasoline at service
stations can not be inserted into fuel
tank opening of Hyundai vehicle.
NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hicles are designed to use leaded
gasoline. When you are going to
use leaded gasoline, ask to
Hyundai dealer whether leaded
gasoline in your vehicle is avail-
able or not.
o Octane rating of leaded gasoline
is same with unleaded one.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Diesel
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
limitation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in
Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel
fuel are available, use summer or winter
fuel properly according to the following
temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
o 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.
