2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID fuel type

Foreword / Hybrid System Overview1-6
Gasoline containing alcohol or
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol) are
being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline. For
example, “E15” is a gasohol comprised of
15% ethanol and 85% gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more than
15% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability
problems and damage to the fuel
system, engine control system and
emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.
“E85” fuel is an alternative fuel
comprised of 85 percent ethanol and 15
percent gasoline, and is manufactured
exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel
Vehicles. “E85” is not compatible with
your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in
poor engine performance and damage
to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system.
HYUNDAI recommends that customers
do not use fuel with an ethanol content
exceeding 15 percent.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle’s
engine and fuel system:

[ Never use gasohol which contains
methanol.

[ Never use gasohol containing more
than 15% ethanol.

[ Never use leaded fuel or leaded
gasohol.

[ Never use “E85” fuel.
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
does not cover damage to the fuel
system or any performance problems
caused by the use of “E85” fuel.
Using Fuel Additives (except
Detergent Fuel Additives)
Using fuel additives such as:
- Silicone fuel additive
- Ferrocene (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 Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or
performance problem caused by the
use of these fuels or fuel additives 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.

Hybrid System Gauge
Power gauge
„Type A, B
OCN7H040006
„Type C
OCN7H040002
The hybrid system gauge indicates
whether the current driving condition is
fuel efficient or not.

[ CHARGE:
Shows that the energy made by the
vehicle is being converted to electrical
energy. (Regenerated energy)

[ ECO:
Shows that the vehicle is being driven
in an Eco-friendly manner.

[ POWER:
Shows that the vehicle is exceeding
the Eco-friendly range.
According to the hybrid system gauge
area, the “EV” indicator comes on or off. - “EV” indicator ON : Vehicle is driven using the electric motor or the
gasoline engine is stopped.
- “EV” indicator OFF : Vehicle is driven using the gasoline engine.
Hybrid battery SOC (State of Charge)
gauge
„Type A, B
OCN7H040007
„Type C
OCN7H040003
This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is
near the “L (Low)” level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery.
However, if the Service Indicator (
)
and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (
) turn on when the SOC gauge is near
the “L (Low)” level, we recommend the
vehicle be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE
Never try to start the vehicle if the fuel
tank is empty. In this condition, the
engine cannot charge the high voltage
battery of the hybrid system. If you
try to start the vehicle when the fuel
is empty, the high voltage battery will
become discharged and be damaged.

„Type A
This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Information

[
The fuel tank capacity is given in
chapter 2.

[ The fuel gauge is supplemented by
a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.

[ On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than
usual due to the movement of fuel in
the tank.
WARNING
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle
occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the "E
(Empty)" level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire and damage
the catalytic converter.

[
The range is the estimated distance
the vehicle can be driven with the
remaining fuel.

[ If the estimated distance is below
1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display "----" as range.
Information

[If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupted,
the range function may not operate
correctly.

[ The range may differ from the actual
driving distance as it is only an estimate
of the available driving range for the
vehicle and driving conditions.

[ The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 1.6 gallon (6
liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.

[ The range may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving habits,
and condition of the vehicle.

[When refueling, always move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position,
set the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF
position.

[ Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.

[ 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 gasoline.

[ 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
gasoline 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” suggested in
the Introduction chapter.
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, 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.
