which, if not avoided, could result
in vehicle damage.
Petrol engine
Unleaded
Yo u r n e w v e h i c l e i s d e s i g n e d t o u s e

methanol blended fuels.
Yo u r n e w v e h i c l e i s d e s i g n e d t o
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-
imise exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
NOTICE
•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.
WA R N I N G
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL.
The use of leaded fuel is detri-
mental 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 spec-
ified. We recommend that you
consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer for details.

CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,

Introduction
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, engine con-
trol system and emission control sys-
tem.
Discontinue using ethanol of any
kind if driveability problems occur.
Ve h i c l e d a m a g e o r d r i v e a b i l i t y p r o b -
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 fuel additives such as:
-Silicone fuel additive
-MMT (Magnanese, Mn) fuel additive
-Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive
-Other metallic-based fuel additives
may result in cylinder misfire, poor
acceleration, engine stalling, dam-
age to the catalytic converter, or
abnormal corrosion, and may cause
damage to the engine resulting in a
reduction in the overall life of the
powertrain.
Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problems caused by the
use of these fuels, may not be cov-
ered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
NOTICE
Never use fuel which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of
any petrol containing ethanol
which impairs drivability.
