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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Air bags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make
sure you and your passengers wear your
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in a
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and
small children should be restrained in
an appropriate Child Restraint Systems.
Larger children should use a booster
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they
can use the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Air bag hazards
Whilst air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the first concern when behind the wheel
and drivers need to be aware of the wide
array of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passengers,
and using mobile phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel to
focus on activities other than driving. To
reduce your risk of distraction and an
accident:

[ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation
units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked
or safely stopped.

[ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions permit
safe use.
NEVER text or email whilst driving.
Most countries have laws prohibiting
drivers from texting. Some countries
and cities also prohibit drivers from
using handheld phones.

[NEVER let the use of a mobile device
distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely, with your hands on the wheel
as well as your eyes and attention on
the road.

Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are
sitting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role for the safety
of the driver and passengers, along
with seat belts and air bags when in an
accident.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the seat
belt during an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result because the seat belt
cannot operate properly.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air bag.
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event
the air bag inflates. Move your seat as
far back as possible from front air bags,
whilst still maintaining control of the
vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating air bag, take the
following precautions:

[Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible whilst maintaining
the ability to maintain full control of
the vehicle.

[Adjust the front passenger seat as far
to the rear as possible.

[Hold the steering wheel by the rim
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimise the risk
of injuries to your hands and arms.

[NEVER place anything or anyone
between the air bag.

[Do not allow the front passenger to
place feet or legs on the dashboard
to minimise the risk of leg injuries.

Safety system
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate Child Restraint
Systems. Children who have outgrown
a booster seat and adults must be
restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:

[NEVER use one seat belt for more
than one occupant.

[Always position the seatback upright
with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.

[NEVER allow children or small infants
to ride in a passenger’s lap.

[Do not route the seat belt across your
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.

[Do not allow the seat belt to become
caught or jammed.
Front seats
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control lever or switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:

[NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
whilst the vehicle is moving. The
seat could respond with unexpected
movement and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Do not place anything under the front
seats. Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with the
operation of the foot pedals, causing
an accident.

[Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position and proper
locking of the seatback.

[Do not place a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you operate
the seat, gas may exit out of the
lighter causing a fire.

[Use extreme caution when picking
small objects trapped under the seats
or between the seat and the centre
console. Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
