Use of MTBE
We recommend that fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your vehi-
cle.
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.
A020106AUN
Gasolines for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air, we rec-
ommend that you use gasolines treated
with detergent additives, which help pre-
vent deposit formation in the engine.
These gasolines will help the engine run
cleaner and enhance performance of theEmission Control System.

Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is avail- able. Diesel engine
A020201BUN
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
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuelsystem and any performance prob-
lems that are caused by the use offuels containing methanol or fuelscontaining MTBE (Methyl TertiaryButyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

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.
Biodiesel (for New Zealand)
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), vegetable oil methyl
ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceed- ing 7% with biodiesel will cause
increased wear or damage to the engine
and fuel system. Repair or replacement
of worn or damaged components due to
the use of non approved fuels will not be
covered by the manufactures warranty. .CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or waterenter the tank. This would make it
necessary to drain it out and tobleed the lines to avoid jammingthe injection pump and damaging the engine.
In winter, in order to cut down incidents due to freezing, paraffinoil may be added to the fuel if the temperature drops to below -10°C
(14°F). Never use more than 20%paraffin oil.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel fordiesel vehicle equipped with theDPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)
and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam-aged and white smoke can be emit- ted.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.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.

Maintenance
76
7
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 driv-
ing 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.

Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
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.
