IntroductionF2
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 U.S. Department of Transportation and other federal or state 
agencies.
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic 
components. It is possible for an improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio 
or cellular 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.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, and thank you for choosing HYUNDAI. We are pleased to welcome 
you to the growing number of discerning people who drive HYUNDAIs. We are very 
proud of the advanced engineering and high-quality construction of each HYUNDAI 
we build.
Your Owner’s Manual will introduce you to the features and operation of your new 
HYUNDAI. To become familiar with your new HYUNDAI, so that you can fully enjoy it, 
read this Owner’s Manual carefully before driving your new vehicle.
This manual contains important safety information and instructions intended to 
familiarize you with your vehicle’s controls and safety features so you can safely 
operate your vehicle.
This manual also contains information on maintenance designed to enhance safe 
operation of the vehicle. It is recommended that all service and maintenance on your 
car be performed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. HYUNDAI dealers are prepared 
to provide high-quality service, maintenance and any other assistance that may be 
required.
This Owner’s Manual should be considered a permanent part of your vehicle, and 
should be kept in the vehicle so you can refer to it at any time. The manual should stay 
with the vehicle if you sell it to provide the next owner with important operating, safety 
and maintenance information.

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 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.

Foreword1-6
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.

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 8).
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. [ 
This vehicle should not be modified. 
Modification of your vehicle could 
affect its performance, safety or 
durability and may even violate 
governmental safety and emissions 
regulations.
In addition, damage or performance 
problems resulting from any 
modification may not be covered 
under warranty.
[  If you use unauthorized electronic 
devices, it may cause the vehicle to 
operate abnormally, wire damage, 
battery discharge and fire. For your 
safety, do not use unauthorized 
electronic devices.
