Using Fuel Additives (except Detergent Fuel Additives)
Using fuel additives such as:
 - Silicone fuel additive
 - Ferr
ocene (iron-based) fuel additive
 - Other metallic
-based fuel additives
May result in cylinder misfire, poor acceleration, engine stalling, damage to the 
catalyst, or abnormal corrosion, and may cause damage to the engine resulting in a 
reduction in the overall life of the powertrain.
 - The Malfunction Indicat
or Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use of these fuels 
may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT 
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
HYUNDAI does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and affect your emission control 
system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the cluster may come on.
Detergent Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with detergent 
additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help prevent deposit formation 
in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance 
performance of the Emission Control System. For more information on TOP TIER 
Detergent Gasoline, please go to the website (www. toptiergas.com).
For customers who do not use TOP Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have 
problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, detergent-based fuel additives 
that you can purchase separately may be added to the gasoline. If TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive added to the fuel tank according to the 
maintenance schedule is recommended (refer to the Maintenance Schedule in chapter 
9).
Additives are available from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer along with information 
on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in another country, be sure to:
•	Observe all regulations regarding registration and insurance.
•	 Determine that acceptable fuel is available.

•	Do not get back into a vehicle 
once you have begun refueling. 
You can generate a buildup of 
static electricity by touching, 
rubbing or sliding against any item 
or fabric capable of producing 
static electricity. Static electricity 
discharge can ignite fuel vapors 
causing a fire. If you must re-enter 
the vehicle, you should once again 
eliminate potentially dangerous 
static electricity discharge by 
touching a metal part of the vehicle, 
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle 
or other fuel source, with your bare 
hand.
•	 When using an approved portable 
fuel container, be sure to place the 
container on the ground prior to 
refueling. Static electricity discharge 
from the container can ignite fuel 
vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact 
between your bare hand and the 
vehicle should be maintained until 
the filling is complete.
•	 Use only approved portable plastic 
fuel containers designed to carry and 
store fuel.
•	 When refueling, always shift the 
gear to the P (Park) position, set 
the parking brake, and press the 
Engine Start/Stop button to the 
OFF position. Sparks produced by 
electrical components related to the 
engine can ignite fuel vapors causing 
a fire.
•	 Do not use matches or a lighter and 
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette 
in your vehicle while at a gas station, 
especially during refueling.•	Do not over-fill or top-off your 
vehicle tank, which can cause fuel 
spillage.
•	 If a fire breaks out during refueling, 
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and 
immediately contact the manager 
of the gas station and then contact 
the local fire department. Follow any 
safety instructions they provide.
•	 If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can 
cover your clothes or skin and thus 
subject you to the risk of fire and 
burns. Always remove the fuel cap 
carefully and slowly. If the cap is 
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing 
sound, wait until the condition stops 
before completely removing the cap.
•	 Always check that the fuel cap is 
installed securely to prevent fuel 
spillage in the event of an accident.
 Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according 
to the “Fuel Requirements” section in 
suggested in chapter 1.
NOTICE
•	Do not spill fuel on the exterior 
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of 
fuel spilled on painted surfaces may 
damage the paint.
•	 If the fuel filler cap requires 
replacement, we recommend that 
you use only a genuine HYUNDAI cap 
or the equivalent specified for your 
vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap 
can result in a serious malfunction of 
the fuel system or emission control 
system.

Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic 
transmission has a shift-lock system 
which prevents shifting the transmission 
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) unless the 
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park) 
into R (Reverse):
1.
 Depress and hold the br
ake pedal.
2.
 Start the engine or place the ignition 
s
witch in the ON position.
3.
 Depress the br
ake pedal and push the 
R (Reverse) button. (button type)
Ignition key interlock system  
(if equipped)
The ignition key cannot be removed 
unless the shift lever is in the P (Park) 
position.
When the battery is discharged: 
The shift buttons will not function when 
the battery is discharged. 
In emergencies, do the following to 
move the shift button to N (Neutral) on a 
level ground. 
1.
 Connect the batt
ery cables from 
another vehicle or from a another 
battery to the jump-starting terminals 
inside the engine compartment. 
For more details, refer to “Jump 
Starting” in chapter 7. 
2.
 Release the parking br
ake with the 
ignition switch in the ON position. 
3.
 Shift the gear to the N(N
eutral) 
position refer to the “Stay in Neutral 
when vehicle is Off” in this chapter. 
Parking

 WARNING
When you stay in the vehicle with 
the engine running, be careful not to 
depress the accelerator pedal for a long 
period of time. The engine or exhaust 
system may overheat and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system 
are very hot. Keep away from the 
exhaust system components.
Do not stop or park over flammable 
materials, such as dry grass, paper or 
leaves. They may ignite and cause a fire.
