FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems
that are caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gaso-
line and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol)
may be used in your Hyundai. However, if
your engine develops driveability prob-
lems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline
is recommended. Fuels with unspecified
quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other
than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A01NF-AATUse Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your
Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor-
mance and damage components of the

WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks produced by elec-
trical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and during
refueling. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the fuel
filler cap and door are securely
closed, before starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave
a lit cigarette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during re-
fueling. Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when ignited,
result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station or contact the
police and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions they
provide.
!
WARNING:
!
WARNING:
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Gaso-
line Shut-Off, if available, at the gas
station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching an-
other metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors re-
sulting in explosion.If you must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gasoline
source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refuel-
ing. Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
should be maintained until the filling
is complete. Use only portable fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station or while refueling any
vehicle. Electric current and/or elec-
tronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you must
use your cellular phone use it in a
place away from the gas station.

!
WARNING:
o Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR, either the
maximum front or rear GAWR and
vehicle capacity weight. If you do,
parts, including tires on your ve-
hicle can break, and it can change
the way your vehicle handles and
braking ability. This could cause
you to lose control and crash.
Also, overloading can shorten the
life of your vehicle.
C190G03JM-AATCompliance Label
The compliance label is located on the
driver's side of the center pillar outer
panel.
The label shows the maximum allow-
able weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This is called the GVWR (Gross Ve-
hicle Weight Rating). The GVWR in-
cludes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel and cargo.
C190G01A
!
This label also tells you the maximum
weights that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the
actual loads on your front and rear
axles, you need to go to a weigh station
and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can
help you with this. Be sure to spread out
your load equally on the left and right
sides of the centerline.
WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle ca-
pacity weight. Exceeding these rat-
ings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can calcu-
late the weight of your load by
weighing the items (or people)
before putting them in the vehicle.
Be careful not to overload your
vehicle.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS8
F070G02A-AATo Brake FluidCheck brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir. The level should be between
"MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the
reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake fluid
conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4.F070F01A-AATo Brake Hoses and LinesVisually check for proper installation, chaf-
ing, cracks, deterioration and any leak-
age. Replace any deteriorated or dam-
aged parts immediately.
F070E06A-AATo Automatic Transaxle FluidThe fluid level should be in the “HOT”
range of the dipstick, after the engine and
transaxle are at normal operating tem-
perature. Check the automatic transaxle
fluid level with the engine running and the
transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake
properly applied. Use HYUNDAI GENU-
INE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK

G030C01JM-AATTo Check the Oil LevelBefore checking the oil, warm up the en-
gine to the normal operating temperature
and be sure your car is parked on level
ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait five minutes, then remove the dip-
stick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick
and withdraw it again. Then note the high-
est level the oil has reached on the dip-
stick. It should be between the upper ("F")
and lower ("L") range.
!
G030C01TG
NOTE:o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20
(5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is pre-
ferred regardless of regional option
and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is
not available, secondary recom-
mended engine oil for corresponding
temperature range can be used.
G030D01TG-AATAdding OilIf the oil level is close to or below the "L"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark.
To add oil:

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS2
EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEMS
H010B01A-AAT1. Crankcase Emission Control Sys-
temThe positive crankcase ventilation system
is employed to prevent air pollution caused
by blow-by gases being emitted from the
crankcase. This system supplies fresh fil-
tered air to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh
air mixes with blow-by gases, which then
pass through the PCV valve into the induc-
tion system.
CanisterFuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank
are absorbed and stored in the onboard
canister. When the engine is running, the
fuel vapors absorbed in the canister are
drawn into the surge tank through the
purge control solenoid valve.Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve is con-
trolled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is low during idling, the PCSV closes
so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms-up during
ordinary driving, the PCSV opens to intro-
duce evaporated fuel to the engine.H010D01A-AAT3. Exhaust Emission Control
SystemThe Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls ex-
haust emissions while maintaining good
vehicle performance.
H010A01NF-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an emis-
sion control system to meet all emission
regulations.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recom-
mended that you have your car inspected
and maintained by an authorized Hyundai
dealer in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.
Caution for the Inspection and Mainte-
nance Test (With Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system)
o To prevent the vehicle from misfiring
during dynamometer testing, turn the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem off by pressing the ESC switch.
o After dynamometer testing is com-
pleted, turn the ESC system back on
by pressing the ESC switch again.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-
cluding ORVR: Onboard Refuel-
ing Vapor Recovery) SystemThe Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors from
escaping into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow
the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded
into a canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of fuel va-
pors into the atmosphere.)

This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG):
Tire manufacturers are required to
grade tires based on three perfor-
mance factors: treadwear, traction
and temperature resistance. For more
information, see Uniform Tire Qual-
ity Grading on page 8-14.
I030D01JM-AATTIRE TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINI-
TIONS
