Introduction

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.

 Information
The fuel filler door will unlock when 
Driver’s door is unlocked.
To unlock fuel filler door:
•	Press the unlock button on your smart 
key
•	 Press the Central Door unlock button 
on armrest trim of driver’s door
The fuel filler door will lock when Driver’s 
door is locked.
To lock fuel filler door:
•	 Press the lock button on your smart key
•	 Press the Central Door lock button on 
armrest trim of driver’s door 
 ÃAll doors will automatically lock after 
the vehicle speed exceeds 9 mph. Fuel 
filler
 door is also locked when vehicle 
speed exceeds 9 mph.
 Information
If the fuel filler door does not open 
because ice has formed around it, tap 
lightly or push on the door to break the 
ice and release the door. Do not pry on the 
door. If necessary, spray around the door 
with an approved deicer fluid (do not use 
radiator antifreeze) or move the vehicle to 
a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it 
clockwise un til it “clicks” one time.
2.
 Close the fuel filler door until it is 
la
tched securely.
 Information
Make the vehicle door to LOCK position 
and the fuel filler door completely closed 
in order to lock the fuel filler door.
If the fuel filler door is not completely 
closed, the fuel filler door will not be 
locked.
 CAUTION
Keep the door into LOCK position when 
the vehicle is being washed (i.e. high 
pressure washer, automatic car washer, 
etc.)
 WARNING
Automotive fuel is highly flammable 
and explosive. Failure to follow these 
guidelines may result in SERIOUS 
INJURY or DEATH:
•	Read and follow all warnings posted 
at the gas station.
•	 Before refueling, note the location 
of the Emergency Fuel Shut-Off, if 
available, at the gas station.
•	 Before touching the fuel nozzle, you 
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching 
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe 
distance away from the fuel filler 
neck, nozzle, or other gas source, 
with your bare hand.
•	 Do not use mobile phones while 
refueling. Electric current and/or 
electronic interference from cellular 
phones can potentially ignite fuel 
vapors and cause a fire.

The emission control system of your 
vehicle is covered by a written limited 
warranty. Please see the warranty 
information contained in the Service 
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an 
emission control system to meet all 
applicable emission regulations. There 
are three emission control systems, as 
follows.
(1)
 Crank
case emission control system
(2)
 Ev
aporative emission control system
(3)
 Exhaust emission con
trol system
In order to ensure the proper function 
of the emission control systems, it 
is recommended that you have your 
vehicle inspected and maintained 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer in 
accordance with the maintenance 
schedule in this manual.
NOTICE
For the Inspection and Maintenance 
Test (with Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system)
•	 To prevent the vehicle from misfiring 
during dynamometer testing, turn 
the Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system off by pressing the ESC 
switch (ESC OFF light illuminated).
•	 After dynamometer testing is 
completed, turn the ESC system back 
on by pressing the ESC switch again.
1. Crankcase emission control 
sy
stem
The positive crankcase ventilation system 
is employed to prevent air pollution 
caused by blow-by gases being emitted 
from the crankcase. This system supplies 
fresh filtered air to the crankcase through 
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, 
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, 
which then pass through the PCV valve 
into the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission control 
system
The Evaporative Emission Control System 
is designed to prevent fuel vapors from 
escaping into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel 
tank are absorbed and stored in the 
onboard canister. When the engine is 
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the 
canister are drawn into the surge tank 
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve 
is controlled by the Engine Control 
Module (ECM); when the engine coolant 
temperature is low during idling, the 
PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel 
is not taken into the engine. After the 
engine warms-up during ordinary 
driving, the PCSV opens to introduce 
evaporated fuel to the engine.
