Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine 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
additives, as this will increase wear and
cause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels
and / or fuel additives will result in a
limitation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used
in your vehicle. If two types of diesel
fuel are available, 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 level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stop s through
fuel failure, the circuits must be
completely purged to permit restarting.
CAUTION
Do not let any petrol or water enter the
tank. This would make it necessary to
drain it out and to bleed the lines to
avoid jamming the injection pump and
damaging the engine.
CAUTION
Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated
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 damaged and white
smoke can be emitted.
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 biofuels 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.
CAUTION
• Never use any fuel, whether diesel,
B7 biodiesel or otherwise, that fails
to meet the latest petroleum industry
specification.
• Never use any fuel additives
or treatments that are not
recommended or approved by the
vehicle manufacturer.

Instrument cluster
Fuel Filter Warning Light
(for diesel engine)
This warning light illuminates:
• When water has accumulated inside
the fuel filter.
In this case, remove the water from
the fuel filter.
For more details, refer to “Fuel Filter” in
chapter 9.
NOTICE
• When the Fuel Filter Warning Light
illuminates, engine power (vehicle
speed & idle speed) may decrease.
• If you keep driving with the warning
light on, engine parts (injector,
common rail, high pressure fuel
pump) may be damaged. If this
occurs, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
Exhaust System (DPF)
Warning Light (for diesel
engine, if equipped)
This warning light illuminates:
• When there is a malfunction with the
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system.
When this warning light illuminates, it
may turn off after driving the vehicle:
- at more than 60 km/h (37 mph), or
- above 2nd gear with 1500 ~ 2500
engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If this warning light blinks in spite of
the procedure, we recommend that you
have the DPF system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If you continue to drive with the DPF
warning light blinking for a long time,
the DPF system can be damaged and
fuel consumption can worsen.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will be
longer than with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied.
Do not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering control
on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
• Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
• When descending a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid
continuous application of the brakes.
Applying the brakes continuously
will cause the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary loss of
braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle’s
ability to safely slow down; the
vehicle may also pull to one side
when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test your
brakes in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Please remember some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem with
your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
i Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.

Winter precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because it
helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or
replenish your coolant in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 8. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the
battery and cables as described in
chapter 8. The level of charge in your
battery can be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if
necessary
In some climates it is recommended that
a lower viscosity “winter weight” oil be
used during cold weather. See chapter
2 for recommendations. If you aren’t
sure what weight oil you should use, we
recommend that you consult with an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as described
in chapter 8 and replace them if
necessary. Also check all ignition wiring
and components to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine
into the key opening. If a lock is covered
with ice, squirt it with an approved
de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If the
lock is frozen internally, you may be able
to thaw it out by using a heated key.
Handle the heated key with care to avoid
injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze in system
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and most auto parts outlets. Do
not use engine coolant or other types
of anti-freeze as these may damage the
paint finish.

Maintenance
The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is filled
at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.
NOTICE
• Do not drive with no engine coolant.
It may cause water pump failure and
engine seizure, etc.
• When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly adding
engine coolant may cause cracks
in the engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly in small
quantities.
Checking the coolant level
OBI3090008OBI3090008
„ „Petrol Engine (1.0 T-GDi)Petrol Engine (1.0 T-GDi)
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (Full) and L (Low) marked on
the side of the coolant reservoir when
the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water.
Bring the level to F (Full), but do
not overfill. If frequent additions are
required, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
