B010A01O-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or highermust be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gaso-line is used, it will cause the catalytic converter tobecome ineffective and the emission controlsystem to malfunction.This can also result in increased maintenanceexpense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel,the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline atservice stations can not be inserted into fuel tankopening of your Hyundai. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. Whenyou are going to use leaded gasoline, askto Hyundai dealer whether leaded gaso-line in your vehicle is available or not.
o Octane rating of leaded gasoline is same with unleaded one. B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be usedin your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-ops drive ability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels withunspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcoholsother than ethanol, should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel canreduce vehicle performance and damage com-ponents of the fuel system. CAUTION: Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-ranty may not cover damage to the fuel sys-tem and performance problems that arecaused by the use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol.
B010A01HP
B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom- mends that you use gasolines treated with deter-gent additives, which help prevent deposit for-mation in the engine. These gasolines will helpthe engine run cleaner and enhance performanceof the Emission Control System.
Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating to use in your Hyundai. If two types of diesel fuelare available, use summer or winter fuel properly
according to the following temperature condi-tions.
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 circuitsmust be completely purged to permit restarting. CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the
tank. This would make it necessary todrain it out and to bleed the lines to avoidjamming the injection pump and damag-ing the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down incidents due to freezing, paraffin oil may be addedto the fuel if the temperature drops tobelow -10°C. Never use more than 20%paraffin oil.
