B010A02MC-GAT Use Unleaded Gasoline 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 maintenance expense. Toavoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline at service stations can not be insertedinto fuel tank opening of Hyundai ve- hicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hicles are designed to use leaded gasoline. When you are going touse 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.
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 anoctane 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. B010A01MC
Use Diesel Diesel fuel Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel that complies with EN 590 or comparablestandard. (EN stands for "European Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel, heatingoils, or non-approved fuel additives, as this will increase wear and cause dam- age to the engine and fuel system. Theuse of non-approved fuels and / or fuel additives will result in a limitation of your warranty rights.Diesel fuel of above cetane 52 is used in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer orwinter 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.

B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alco-hol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops driveability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alco- hol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reduce vehicleperformance and damage components of the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle LimitedWarranty may not cover damage to the fuel system and performanceproblems that are caused by the use of methanol or fuels containing methanol.
! B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolinestreated with detergent additives, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help theengine run cleaner and enhance perfor- mance of the Emission Control Sys- tem. B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
