2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE check engine

1-5
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL,
as well as minimize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.
Your new vehicle is designed to perform optimally using unleaded fuel having an
octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. (Do not use
methanol blended fuels)
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine and engine components, never add any fuel
system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified.
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for additional information.
WARNING

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

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

Recommended SAE Viscosity Number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.
Temperature Range for SAE Viscosity Numbers
Temperature °C -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50

Gasoline Engine Oil

An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certification Mark conforms to the International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended
to only use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.

CAUTION
Without starting the engine, the 3rd row
seat can be folded or unfolded. When
this is attempted more than 10 times,
the battery may discharge prematurely.
Do not apply excessive force to the
3
rd row seat while in operation. It may
damage the seat.
When you operate the seat over 5 times
with no rest, the electric motor may
be overloaded. In this case, the seat
changes to overheat prevention mode.
Then you cannot operate the seat by
pressing the switch. Leave the seat for
over 1 minute for later operation.
Detection of object caught
While folding or unfolding the 3rd row
seat, when a consistent force is detected,
the seat returns to its original position or
stops operation.
However, this function may not work
when the detected resistance is below a
specific level or the seat is almost folded
or unfolded. When a strong impact is
applied to the seat, the object detection
function may be activated even if no
obstacle is present.
When any object caught is detected
multiple times while operating the seat
once, folding and unfolding are repeated
consecutively and then the operation
may stop. In this case, check that any
object is caught and then operate the
switch again to check for abnormality.
When the object detection is enabled,
the angle of the seat back may be
changed. When you operate the seat
once by pressing the folding button, the
angle of the seat back is reset.
WARNING
Do not place any part of your body
or anything in the operating area to
intentionally check the detection of any
object caught.
For safety, when folding or unfolding
the 3
rd row seat, make sure that there
is no part of body or object. To prevent
damage to the seatbelt, insert it into
its holder and store it in the retractor
inside a seat.
When the child restraint system (CRS) is
installed on the 3
rd row seat, remove the
CRS and then operate the seat.
When there is any object on the cushion
of the 3
rd row seat, remove it and then
operate the seat.
To avoid interference with a front seat,
keep the backrest of the front seat
straight and move it forward for smooth
operation.

Seats & Safety System3-46
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. Therefore, have the
system be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following
components. Their locations are shown
in the illustration:
B0702EU01
M SRS air bag warning light
N Retractor pre-tensioner
O SRS control module
NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS
control module is connected with the
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS air
bag warning light on the instrument
cluster will illuminate for approximately
3~6 seconds after the ignition switch is
in the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will
illuminate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, have the pre-tensioner
seat belts and/or SRS control module
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Information

[ Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions or rollovers.

[ When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not
hazardous.

[ Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be inhaled for prolonged periods.
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.

[ The pre-tensioner seat belt system may
get adversely affected by installing an
audio system to the center console or
welding/painting the frontal vehicle
body.
In this case, consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. The air bag
warning light illuminates, if there is a
malfunction with the pre-tensioner seat
belt system.

[ In following situations, immediately
have the air bag system and the pre-
tensioner seat belt system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

- The air bag warning light does not
illuminate at all after turning ON the
engine

- The air bag warning light remains
ON over 3~6 seconds after turning
ON the engine
