changes at any time so that our policy of continual product
improvement may be carried out.
This manual applies to all models of this vehicle and includes
descriptions and explanations of optional as well as standard
equipment.
As a result, you may find material in this manual that does not
apply to your specific vehicle.
Please note that some models are equipped with Right-Hand
Drive (RHD). The explanations and illustrations for some
operations in RHD models are opposite of those written in this
manual.

Your HYUNDAI should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may
adversely affect the performance, safety or durability of your HYUNDAI
and may, in addition, violate conditions of the limited warranties covering
the vehicle. Certain modifications may also be in violation of regulations
established by the Department of Transportation and other government
agencies in your country.
CAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR HYUNDAI
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic
components. It is possible for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio
or mobile telephone to adversely affect electronic systems. For this reason,
we recommend that you carefully follow the radio manufacturer’s instructions
or consult your HYUNDAI dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions if you choose to install one of these devices.
The vehicle is equipped with a device of the system Pan-european eCall
which calls emergency services. Any self-or unauthorised interference in the
system Pan-european eCall, in vehicle systems and its components, installing
of equipment which is not recommended by vehicle manufacturer and/or in
authorised HYUNDAI dealerships can cause incorrect operation (of the device
of) the system Pan-european eCall, making erroneous calls, causing failure
of the device (in cars) in case of traffic accident or other accidents, when you
need emergency care.
This may be dangerous and threaten your life!

Petrol engine
Unleaded
For the optimal vehicle performance, we recommend you use unleaded petrol which
has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index)
91 or higher. You may use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of RON 91-94 / AKI
87-90 but it may result in slight performance reduction of the vehicle. (Do not use
methanol blended fuels)
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL,
as well as minimise exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is detrimental to the catalytic
converter and will damage the engine control system’s oxygen sensor and affect
emission control.
Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has
been specified (We recommend that you consult a HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
details.)
WARNING

[Do not “top off” after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refuelling.

[Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.
