Introduction
Petrol engine
Unlead
Your new vehicle is designed to use only
unleaded fuel having an Octane Rating
of RON (Research Octane Number) 91 /
AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher.
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain
maximum performance with UNLEADED
FUEL, as well as minimise exhaust emis-
sions and spark plug fouling.
Petrol containing alcohol andmethanol
Ethanol [E-10], a mixture of petrol and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),and petrol or ethanol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or insteadof leaded or unleaded petrol. Do not use ethanol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or
ethanol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-lems and damage to the fuel system.
Discontinue using ethanol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur-
er’s warranty if they result from the useof:
1. Ethanol containing more than 10%.
2. Petrol or ethanol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded ethanol.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental tothe catalytic converter and willdamage the engine control sys-
tem’s oxygen sensor and affectemission control.
Never add any fuel system cleaningagents to the fuel tank other thanwhat has been specified. (Consult
an authorised Hyundai dealer fordetails.)
CAUTION
Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off whenrefuelling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci- dent.
CAUTION
Never use ethanol which containsmethanol. Discontinue use of any
ethanol product which impairs dri- vability.

WARNING - Refuelling
If pressurised 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 removingthe cap.WARNING - Refuelling
dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refuelling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
Before refuelling note the loca- tion of the Emergency Petrol
Shut-Off, if available, at the petrol
station facility.
Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refuelling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapours resulting
in rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other petrol
source.
When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
elling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling has begun, contact
with the vehicle should be main-tained until the filling is com-
plete.

Features of your vehicle
(Continued)Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store petrol.
Do not use mobile phones while refuelling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from
mobile phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.
When refuelling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling is complete, check tomake sure the filler cap and filler
door are securely closed, before
starting the engine.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at
a petrol station especially during
refuelling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
If a fire breaks out during refu-elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately contact
the manager of the petrol stationand then contact the local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
CAUTION
Make sure to refuel with unleaded
fuel only.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuineHyundai cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. Anincorrect fuel filler cap can resultin a serious malfunction of the fuel system or emission control
system.
(Continued)
(Continued) 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 lid will not open in cold weather because the areaaround it is frozen, push or lightly
tap the lid.
After refuelling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely toprevent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
