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.
