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

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.
CAUTION

Introduction
Use of MTBE
HYUNDAI recommends avoiding
fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Te r t i a r y B u t y l E t h e r ) o v e r 1 5 . 0 % v o l .
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) 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
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 or higher.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols including fuel addi-
tives regularly, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, add one bottle of additives
to the fuel tank at every 15,000km.
Additives are available from your
authorised HYUNDAI dealer along
with information on how to use them.
Do not mix other additives.Yo u r N e w Ve h i c l e L i m i t e d
Warranty may not cover dam-
age to the fuel system and any
performance 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.)

Introduction
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.
