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 ofthe fuel system.
A020106AUN
Fuels for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
HYUNDAI recommends use of fuels
treated with detergent additives, which
help to prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These fuels will help the engines
run cleaner and increase the Emission
Control System performance.

Operation in foreign countries
Drivers of vehicles which are to be oper-
ated in foreign countries must satisfy
themselves that:
The vehicle meets all local regulations
with respect to insurance, specifica- tions etc..
The correct types and grades of fuel are available for satisfactory operation
of the vehicle. Diesel engine A020201CUN
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable
standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). 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 / or fuel additives will result in a limi-
tation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in
your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel
properly according to the following tem-
perature conditions.
Above -5°C(23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
Below -5°C(23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very care-
fully : If the engine stops through fuel fail-
ure, the circuits must be completely
purged to permit restarting.
CAUTION
Do not allow petrol or water to enter the fuel tank. If this happens, the
tank should be completely drained and the fuel lines must all becleaned out to prevent the fuelpump from becoming contaminat-
ed.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
It is recommended to use the regu-
lated automotive diesel fuel for
diesel vehicle equipped with the DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and unspecified additives, it can
cause the DPF system to be dam- aged and white smoke can be emit-ted.

Introduction
A020202CUN
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in
your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214
or equivalent specifications. (EN stands
for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-
els exceeding 7%, made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding7% with biodiesel will cause increased
wear or damage to the engine and fuel
system. Repair or replacement of worn ordamaged components due to the use of
non approved fuels will not be covered by
the manufactures warranty.As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly mayresult in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (higher
ground clearance, track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher centre of gravity than
other types of vehicles. In other words
they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel
drive vehicles. Avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres. Again, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.
Be sure to read the “Reducing
the risk of a rollover” driving guide-
lines, in section 5 of this manual. A030000AUN
No special run-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
Whilst driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long
periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly run-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergen-
cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
Don't tow a trailer/caravan during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera-tion.
CAUTION
Never use any fuel, whether
diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,
that fails to meet the latest petro-leum industry specification.
Never use any fuel additives or treatments that are not recom-mended or approved by the vehi-
cle manufacturer.

(Continued)
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store petrol.
Do not use mobile phones whilst refuelling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from
mobile phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.
When refuelling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling is complete, check tomake sure the filler cap and filler
door are securely closed, before
starting the engine.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle whilst at
a gas station especially during
refuelling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
If a fire breaks out during refu-elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately contact
the manager of the gas stationand then contact the local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.CAUTION
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel require-
ments" suggested in section 1.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuineHYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can resultin a serious malfunction of the fuel system or emission control
system.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted surfaces may damage the paint.
After refuelling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely toprevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident.

the tripmeter to zero (0.0). Distance to empty (if equipped)
(km or mi.) This mode indicates the estimated dis- tance to empty based on the current fuelin the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 30 miles (50
km), “---” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 30 to 999 miles (50 to 999 km).Average fuel consumption (if equipped)(
l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the average fuelconsumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive morethan 0.03 miles (50 m).
Pressing the RESET button for more than
1 second, when the average fuel con-
sumption is being displayed, clears the
