Unleaded
Your new vehicle is designed to use only
unleaded fuel having an Octane Rating
of RON (Research Octane Number) 91/
AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher.
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain
maximum performance with UNLEADED

methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or insteadof leaded or unleaded petrol. Do not use petrol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or
ethanol containing any methanol. Either

Discontinue using ethanol of any kind if
driveability problems occur.

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 cleaningagents to the fuel tank other thanwhat has been specified. (Consultan authorised HYUNDAI dealer for
details.)
