Use of MTBE
HYUNDAI recommends avoiding
fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(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 vapor lock or hard starting.
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover damage
to the fuel system and any per-
formance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen
Content 2.7% weight.)
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 gasoline which has an
octane rating of RON (Research
Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock
Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or
Octane Rating of RON (Research
Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) 87 or higher (except Europe).
For customers who do not use good
quality gasolines, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, one bottle of additive added
to the fuel tank is recommended
according to the maintenance sched-
ule (refer to chapter 7, “Normal
Maintenance Schedule”).

TION of Hybrid system
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Do not
make "jack-rabbit" starts. Do not
race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear out.
• The regenerative brake generates
energy when the vehicle deceler-
ates.
• When the hybrid battery power is
low, the hybrid system automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
• When the engine run with the shift
lever in N (Neutral), the hybrid sys-
tem cannot generate electricity. The
hybrid battery cannot recharge with
the shift lever in N (Neutral).

When the high voltage battery is dis-
charged, when the 12-volt battery is
discharged, or when the fuel tank is
empty, the hybrid system may not
operate while driving. When the
Hybrid system does not operate, do

Before jump-starting the vehicle,
check the fuel level and the exact
procedure to jump start. For further
details, refer to "If the 12 Volt
Battery Is Discharged" in the chap-
ter 6. When the fuel level is low, do
not attempt to drive the vehicle only
with the battery power. The high
voltage battery may be discharged,
and the hybrid system will turn OFF.When a submersion in water
occurs:
When your vehicle is flooded in
water, a high-voltage battery
may cause shock or fires. Thus,

attempt physical contact with
your flooded vehicle.
Immediately contact an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and advise
