1- 2 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B010A02TB-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Except Europe
– Unleaded gasoline
with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Re- search Octane Number 91) or highermust 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 maintenance expense.To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gaso- line at service stations can not beinserted 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 touse leaded gasoline, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle is avail-able or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso-
line is same with unleaded one.
For Europe
– For the optimal vehicle
performance, we recommend you touse unleaded gasoline with an octanerating 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 performancereduction of the vehicle. B010A01TB Diesel fuel Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel that complies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for "EuropeanNorm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi- tives, as this will increase wear andcause damage to the engine and fuel system. The use of non-approved fuels and / orfuel additives will result in a limitation of your warranty rights. Diesel fuel of above cetane 52 is usedin Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to thefollowing 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 throughfuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 3
CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would make it necessary to drain it out and tobleed the lines to avoid jamming the injection pump and damaging the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down incidents due to freezing, paraffinoil may be added to the fuel if thetemperature drops to below -10°C. Never use more than 20% paraffin oil.!
CAUTION: Diesel Fuel
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel for die- sel vehicle equipped with the DPFsystem. If you use diesel fuel including high sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) andunspecified additives, it can cause the DPF system to be damaged and white smoke can be emitted.
! B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) 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.
Biodiesel Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, com- monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meetsEN 14214 or equivalent specifications. (EN stands for "European Norm"). The use of biofuels exceeding 7% madefrom rapeseed methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), veg- etable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. ormixing diesel exceeding 7% with biodiesel will cause increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system.Repair or replacement of worn or dam- aged components due to the use of non approved fuels will not be covered bythe manufactures warranty.
CAUTION:
o Never use any fuel, whether diesel or B7 biodiesel or otherwise thatfails to meet the latest petroleumindustry specification.
o Never use any fuel additives or
treatments that are not recom-mended or approved by the ve- hicle manufacturer.
! B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reducevehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Lim- ited Warranty may not cover dam- age to the fuel system and perfor- mance problems that are caused bythe use of methanol or fuels con- taining methanol.
