Introduction
4 1
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-
prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 per-
cent gasoline, and is manufactured
exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel
Vehicles. “E85” is not compatible with
your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in
poor engine performance and damage to
your vehicle's engine and fuel system.
HYUNDAI recommends that customers
do not use fuel with an ethanol content
exceeding 10 percent.A020105AUN
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system.
A020106AEN
Gasolines for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
HYUNDAI recommends you use gaso-
lines treated with detergent additives,
which help prevent deposit formation in
the engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control
System.

Maintenance
G220101AUN-EU
Headlight bulbHeadlight (HID type) bulb replace-
ment (if equipped)
If the light bulb is not operating, have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
HID lamps have superior performance
vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps are esti-
mated by the manufacturer to last twice
as long or longer than halogen bulbs
depending on their frequency of use.
They will probably require replacement
at some point in the life of the vehicle.
Cycling the headlamps on and off more
than typical use will shorten HID lamps
life. HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent lamps.
If a headlamp goes out after a period of
operation but will immediately relight
when the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID lamp needs to be replaced.
HID lighting components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen bulbs
thus have higher replacement cost.
G220102ABH-EU
Headlight (bulb type), front turn sig-
nal, position, side marker and fog
light bulbs (if equipped)
If the light bulb is not operating, have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when chang-
ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.
OHD076046
WARNING- Halogen bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pressur-
ized gas that will produce small
debris of glass if broken.
Always handle the bulbs careful-
ly, and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids.
Never touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit.

WARNING - HID Headlight
low beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON bulb)
due to electric shock danger. If the
low beam (XENON bulb) is not
working, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI Dealer.
