Introduction
A020102AEN
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded gasoline. When
you are going to use leaded gasoline,
ask to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle
is available or not. Octane Rating of lead-
ed gasoline is same with unleaded one.A020103AUN
Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),and gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline. Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-lems and damage to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or drivability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur-
er’s warranty if they result from the useof:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol.
2. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. A020104AEN
Use of MTBE
HYUNDAI recommends avoiding fuels
containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content
2.7% weight) in your vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
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 ofthe fuel system.
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refueling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-dent.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and willdamage the engine control sys-tem’s oxygen sensor and affect emission control. Never add any
fuel system cleaning agents to thefuel tank other than what has beenspecified. (Consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for details.)
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warrantymay not cover damage to the fuel system and any performance prob-lems that are caused by the use offuels containing methanol or fuelscontaining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains methanol. Discontinue use of anygasohol product which impairs dri-
vability.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in the fueltank.
The fuel tank capacity is given in sec-
tion 8.The fuel gauge is supplemented by
a low fuel warning light, which will illumi-
nate when the fuel tank is near empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than
usual due to the movement of fuel in thetank.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.
OEN049048L
WARNING - Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after thewarning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
“0/E” level.
Type A Type B
CAUTION
Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of fuel, it couldcause the engine to misfire and
result in excessive loading of thecatalytic converter.

When the smart key is in the vehicle, if
the ignition switch is depressed, the
indicator will illuminate for a few min-
utes to indicate that you will be able to
start the engine, and if the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position, theindicator will illuminate until the engine
is started. However, when the smart
key is not in the vehicle, if the ignition
switch is depressed, the indicator will
blink for a few minutes to indicate that
you will not be able to start the engine,
and the ignition switch is not rotated.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position from the ACC position
without the smart key in the vehicle,
the indicator light turns off after blink-ing.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and the indicator turns
off after 2 seconds, the system may
have a problem. Have the vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
When the battery is weak, if the igni- tion switch is depressed, the indicator
will blink and you will not be able to
start the engine. However, you may still
be able to start the engine by inserting
the smart key in the ignition switch. If
smart key system related parts have a
problem, the indicator blinks. D150318AEN-EELow fuel level warning light
This warning light indicates the fuel tank
is nearly empty. When it comes on, you
should add fuel as soon as possible.
Driving with the fuel level warning light on
or with the fuel level below “0/E” cancause the engine to misfire and damage
the catalytic converter.
D150319AUN
Low washer fluid level
warning light (if equipped)
This warning light indicates the washer
fluid reservoir is near empty. Refill the
washer fluid as soon as possible. D150320BEN-EE
Malfunction indicator (MIL)
(check engine light)
(if equipped)
This indicator light is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors various
emission control system components. If
this light illuminates while driving, it indi-cates that a potential malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the emis-sion control system. This light will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, and will go out in a few seconds
after the engine is started. If it illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, take your vehicle to your near-
est authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer promptly.

ESP indicator (ElectronicStability Program)
(if equipped)
Type A The ESP indicator will illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned ON, but
should go off after approximately 3 sec-
onds. When the ESP is on, it monitors the
driving conditions and under normal driv-
ing conditions, the ESP light will remain
off. When a slippery or low traction con-dition is encountered, the ESP will oper-
ate, and the ESP indicator will blink to
indicate the ESP is operating.
Type B The ESP indicator will illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned ON, but
should go off after approximately 3 sec-
onds. When the ESP is on, it monitors the
driving conditions. Under normal driving
conditions, the ESP indicator will remain
off. When a slippery or low traction con-dition is encountered, the ESP will oper-
ate, and the ESP indicator will blink to
indicate the ESP is operating. But, if the ESP system malfunctions the
indicator illuminates and stays on. Take
your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system checked.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the EmissionControl System Malfunction
Indicator Light illuminated maycause damage to the emission con-trol systems which could effect dri- vability and/or fuel economy.
CAUTION - Gasoline engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light illumi-nates, potential catalytic converter
damage is possible. This couldresult in loss of engine power. Havethe Engine Control System inspect- ed as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light flashes, some error related to the injectionquantity adjustment occurs whichcould result in loss of engine
power, combustion noise and pooremission. Have the Engine ControlSystem inspected as soon as pos-sible by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
with catalyzed particulate filter (if equipped)
If the malfunction indicator light blinking, have the Particulate Filter
System inspected by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer (before drivingmore than 50 km/31 miles).
ESP
CAUTION - Diesel engine
When the malfunction indicator
light is blinks, it may stop blinkingafter driving the vehicle at morethan 60km/h (37 mph) or at more
than second gear with 1500 ~ 2000engine rpm for a certain time (forabout 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator lightcontinues to be blinked in spite of
the procedure, please visit anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer andthen check the DPF system.
If you continue to drive with themalfunction indicator light blinking
for a long time, the DPF system canbe damaged and fuel consumption can be worsen.

Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi-
cle for any extended time with the
engine running.
When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart the
engine may cause damage to theemission control system.
G270303BEN
Operating precautions for catalytic converters (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
Use only UNLEADED FUEL for gaso- line engines.
Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunction, such
as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-
formance. Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting withthe ignition off and descending steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5 minutesor more).
Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control sys-
tem. All inspections and adjustments
must be made by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of gasoline, it couldcause the engine to misfire and result
in excessive loading of the catalytic
converter.
Failure to observe these precautionscould result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.
Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys-
tem removes the soot emitted from the
vehicle.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In other words, the active burning by
engine control system and high exhaust
gas temperature caused by normal/high
driving condition burns and removes the
accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be
driven at low speed for long time, the
accumulated soot may not be automati-
cally removed because of low exhaust
gas temperature. In this particular case,the amount of soot is out of detection
limit, the soot oxidation process by
engine control system may not happen
and the malfunction indicator light may
blink. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving the
vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) orat more than second gear with 1500 ~
2000 engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes). If the malfunction indicator light contin-
ues to be blinked in spite of the proce-
dure, please visit an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and then check theDPF system.
If you continue to drive with the malfunc-
tion indicator light blinking for a long
time, the DPF system can be damaged
and fuel consumption can be worsen.
WARNING
- Fire
A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehi-
cle. Do not park, idle, or drive the
vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as grass, vegetation,
paper, leaves, etc.
