Introduction
Petrol engine
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. (Do not use methanol
blended fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-
imise exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental
to the catalytic converter and
will damage the engine control
system’s oxygen sensor and
affect emission control.
Never add any fuel system
cleaning agents to the fuel tank
other than what has been speci-
fied. (We recommend that you
consult with an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer for details.)
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refuelling.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.

Introduction
4 1
Petrol containing ethanol
Ethanol [E-10], a mixture of petrol
and ethanol (also known as grain
alcohol), is marketed along with or
instead of leaded or unleaded petrol.
Do not use petrol containing more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use
petrol or ethanol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system.
Discontinue using ethanol of any
kind if driveability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability prob-
lems may not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty if they result
from the use of:
1. Petrol containing more than 10%
ethanol.
2. Petrol or ethanol containing
methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded ethanol.
Other fuels
Using fuels such as ;
- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- MMT (Manganese, Mn) con-
tained fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel,
and
- Other metallic additives con-
tained fuels,
may cause vehicle and engine dam-
age or cause plugging, misfiring,
poor acceleration, engine stalling,
catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion,
life cycle reduction, etc. Also, the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
may illuminate.
✽NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problem caused by the use
of these fuels may not be covered by
your New Vehicle Limited
Warrenty.
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%.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and pro-
duce vapour lock or hard starting.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover damage
to the fuel system and any per-
formance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels con-
taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.).
CAUTION
Never use fuel which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of
any petrol containing ethanol
which impairs drivability.

Introduction
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.
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 petrol 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 15,000km.
Additives are available from your
authorised HYUNDAI dealer along
with information on how to use them.No special run-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 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 emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km of operation.

Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)
To change the height of the seat
cushion, move the lever upwards or
downwards.
• To lower the seat cushion, push the
lever down several times.
• To raise the seat cushion, pull the
lever up several times.
Automatic adjustment
(for driver’s seat) (if equipped)
The driver’s seat can be adjusted by

the outside of the seat cushion.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so as to easily con-
trol the steering wheel, pedals and
switches on the instrument panel.
OMD030004/HWARNING
The power seat is operable with
the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the vehicle.
CAUTION
• The power seat is driven by an
electric motor. Stop operating
once the adjustment is com-
pleted. Excessive operation
may damage the electrical
equipment.
• When in operation, the power
seat consumes a large amount
of electrical power. To prevent
unnecessary charging system
drain, don’t adjust the power
seat longer than necessary
whilst the engine is not run-
ning.
• Do not operate two or more
power seat control switch at
the same time. Doing so may
result in power seat motor or
electrical component malfunc-
tion.
