in vehicle damage.

only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating  of  RON  (Research  Octane
Number)  91  or  higher. Do  not  use
methanol blended fuels.

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.

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.)
