changes at any time so that our policy of continual product

improvement may be carried out.

This manual applies to all models of this vehicle and includes

descriptions and explanations of optional as well as standard

equipment.

As a result, you may find material in this manual that does not

apply to your specific vehicle.

Please note that some models are equipped with Right-Hand

Drive (RHD). The explanations and illustrations for some

operations in RHD models are opposite of those written in this

manual.

Your HYUNDAI should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may

adversely affect the performance, safety or durability of your HYUNDAI

and may, in addition, violate conditions of the limited warranties covering

the vehicle. Certain modifications may also be in violation of regulations

established by the Department of Transportation and other government

agencies in your country.

CAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR HYUNDAI

Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic

components. It is possible for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio

or cellular telephone to adversely affect electronic systems. For this reason,

we recommend that you carefully follow the radio manufacturer’s instructions

or consult your HYUNDAI dealer for precautionary measures or special

instructions if you choose to install one of these devices.

The vehicle is equipped with a device of the system Pan-european eCall

which calls emergency services. Any self-or unauthorized interference in the

system Pan-european eCall, in vehicle systems and its components, installing

of equipment which is not recommended by vehicle manufacturer and/or in

authorized HYUNDAI dealerships can cause incorrect operation (of the device

of) the system Pan-european eCall, making erroneous calls, causing failure

of the device (in cars) in case of traffic accident or other accidents, when you

need emergency care.

This may be dangerous and threaten your life!

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Gasoline engine

Unleaded

For Europe

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

which has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 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. (Do

not use methanol blended fuels)

Except Europe

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 use

methanol blended fuels)

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL,

as well as minimize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.

CAUTION

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

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

emission control.

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

been specified (We recommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

details.)

WARNING

• 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 accident.

Introduction

Leaded (if equipped)

For some countries, your vehicle is designed to use leaded gasoline. When you are

going to use leaded gasoline, we recommend that you ask an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

Octane rating of leaded gasoline is same with unleaded one.

Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol

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

or gasohol containing methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed

along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or

gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause drivability problems

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. Gasoline 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.

Other fuels

Using fuel additives such as:

- Silicone fuel additive

- MMT (Magnanese, Mn) fuel additive

- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive

- Other metallic-based fuel additives

may result in cylinder misfire, poor acceleration, engine stalling, damage to the

catalyst, or abnormal corrosion, 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 performance problem caused by the use of these

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

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 vapor 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 gasoline 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 gasolines including fuel additives

regularly, 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 is

recommended (refer to chapter 9, “Normal Maintenance Schedule”).

Additives are available from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer along with information

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.
