Use of MTBE
HYUNDAI recommends that fuels con-
taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content
2.7% weight) should not be used in your
vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapour lock or hard starting.
A020105AUN-UK
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used. This type of fuel
can reduce vehicle performance and
damage components of the fuel system.
A020106AUN-UK
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
unleaded petrol which has an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87
or higher.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols including fuel additives
regularly, and have problems starting or
the engine does not run smoothly, one
bottle of additives added to the fuel tank
at every 10,000 miles (15,000 km).
Additives are available from your
HYUNDAI authorised repairer along with
information on how to use them. Do not
mix other additives.
A020107AUN-UK
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.
CAUTION
The New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage to the fuel system or
any performance problems caused
by the use of fuels containing
methanol or fuels containing MTBE
(Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight).

Introduction
Diesel engine
A020201CUN-UK
Diesel fuel
Diesel engines 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, these will increase wear and cause
damage to the engine and fuel system.
The use of non-approved fuels and/or
fuel additives will invalidate the New
Vehicle Warranty.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 must be
used in HYUNDAI diesel engined vehi-
cles. If two types of diesel fuel are avail-
able, use summer or winter fuel properly
according to the following temperature
conditions.
• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel
fuel.
Watch the fuel gauge very carefully : If
the engine stops due to fuel failure, the
circuits must be completely purged to
permit restarting.
A020202BUN
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 biofuels exceeding 7%
made from rapeseed methyl ester (RME),
fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), vegetable
oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel
exceeding 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 cov-
ered by the manufactures warranty.
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 be
cleaned out to prevent the fuel
pump from becoming contaminat-
ed.
CAUTION- 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 high
sulfur (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.
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.

As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly may
result 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-UK
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 tow a trailer/caravan during the
first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera-
tion.
