Other fuels
Using fuels such as;
- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and
- Other metallic additives contained fuels,
may cause vehicle and engine damage
or cause plugging, misfiring, poor accel-
eration, 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 perform-
ance problem caused by the use of these
fuels may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Diesel engine
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.
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.

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 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 covered by
the manufactures warranty.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.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.
VEHICLE RUN-IN PROCESS VEHICLE HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS
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.

If the malfunction indicator light ( )
continues to be blinked or the warn-
ing massage "check exhaust system"
illuminates in spite of the procedure,
please visit a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer and the check the DPF 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.Selective Catalytic Reduction
(if equipped)
The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
system is to catalytically convert NOx to
Nitrogen and Water by using the reduc-
tion agent, the urea solution.
Urea gauge (if equipped)
The urea solution gauge indicates the
approximate amount of remaining urea
solution inside the urea solution tank.
❈The urea gauge image pops up, when-
ever the ignition switch is pressed to
the ON position.
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.

Storing the urea solution
• It is improper to store the urea solution
in the containers made with the certain
materials (i.e. aluminum, copper, cop-
per alloy, non-alloyed still, and galva-
nized steel). The urea solution dis-
solves the metal materials, severely
damaging the exhaust purification sys-
tem to be non-repairable.
• Store the urea solution only in the con-
tainers made with the following materi-
als.
(DIN EN 10 088-1-/-2-/-3-specified CR-
Ni steel, Mo-Cr-Ni steel, polypropy-
lene, and polyethylene)(Continued)
• Store the urea solution tank only
in the well-ventilated locations.
When the urea solution is
exposed to the hot temperature at
approximately 50°C for an extend-
ed period of time (i.e. under the
direct sunlight), the chemical
decomposition may occur, emit-
ting the ammonia vapour.(Continued)
• When your cloth is contaminated
with the urea solution, immedi-
ately change your cloth.
• When you have an allergic reac-
tion to the urea solution, immedi-
ately consult a doctor.
• Do not allow a child to contact
the urea solution.
• Wipe off any urea solution
spillage with water or cloth. When
the urea solution is crystalized,
wipe it off with the sponge or the
cloth, which is dampened in the
cold water. When the urea solu-
tion spillage is exposed in the air
for an extended period of time, it
is crystalized in white, damaging
the vehicle surface.
• The urea solution is not the fuel
additives. Thus, it should not be
injected to the fuel tank.
Otherwise, it may damage the
engine.
• The urea solution is the aqueous
solution, which is inflammable,
non-toxic, colourless and odour-
less.

Urea solution purity
• The following situations may damage
the DPF system.
- Fuels or any unauthorized liquids are
added into the urea solution tank.
- Additives are mixed in the urea solu-
tion.
- Water is added to dilute the urea
solution.
• Use only the ISO 22241- or DIN7007O-
specified urea solution. When any unau-
thorized urea solution is added to the
tank, we recommend you to contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• When any unauthorized impurities
enter the urea solution tank, it may
occur the following problems.
- Increased emission
- Malfunction with the DPF system
- Engine failure
Never add the used urea solution, which
is drained from the tank (i.e. whilst main-
taining the vehicle). Its purity cannot be
guaranteed. Always add the new urea
solution.WARNING
• When opening the urea solution
tank cap at high outside tempera-
tures, ammonia vapours may
escape. Ammonia vapours have a
pungent smell and primarily
cause irritation of the:
- Skin
- Mucous membranes
- Eyes
You may experience a burning
sensation in your eyes, nose and
throat, as well as coughing and
watering of the eyes. Do not
inhale ammonia vapours. Do not
allow urea solution to come in
direct contact with your skin. It is
hazardous to your health. Wash
any affected areas off with plenty
of clean water. If necessary, con-
sult a doctor.
• When handling with urea solution
in closed space, ensure good
ventilation. When the bottle of
urea solution container is
opened, pungent smelling fumes
may escape.
