GUIDE TO HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS

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.

When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
brie
fly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow by temporarily stopping operation
of the ESC to maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission:

[ Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC, ABS,

are displayed. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do not
spin the wheel(s) excessively while
these lights are displayed.

[ When operating the vehicle on
a dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS
or standard brake system operation.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) (if equipped)
The Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
is a function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps ensure the
vehicle stays stable when accelerating
or braking suddenly on wet, slippery and
rough roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM):

[ALWAYS check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead. The
VSM is not a substitute for safe
driving practices.

[ Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. The VSM system will not
prevent accidents. Excessive speed
in bad weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe accidents.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:

[The Electr

onic Stability Control (ESC)
is on.

[ Vehicle speed is approximately above
9 mph (15 km/h) on curve roads.

[ Vehicle speed is approximately above
12 mph (20 km/h) when the vehicle is
braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which ma
y activate the ESC,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and it means
your VSM is active.
NOTICE
The VSM does not operate when:

[ Driving on a banked road such as
gradient or incline.

[ Driving rearward.

[ ESC OFF indicator light is on.

[ EPS (Electric Power Steering)
warning light (
) is on or blinks.

The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize winter driving
problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially
very hazardous practices. During
deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications
on snowy or icy roads may cause the
vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires or to
install tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or chains,
a flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket,
etc.
Snow tires
WARNING
Snow tires should be equivalent in size
and type to the vehicle’s standard tires.
Otherwise, the safety and handling of
your vehicle may be adversely affected.
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle,
make sure to use radial tires of the same
size and load range as the original tires.
Mount snow tires on all four wheels
to balance your vehicle’s handling in
all weather conditions. The traction
provided by snow tires on dry roads
may not be as high as your vehicle's
original equipment tires. Check with
the tire dealer for maximum speed
recommendations.
Information
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions against
their use.
Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tire chains on them. Therefore
the use of snow tires is preferred over the
use of tire chains.
If the road and weather conditions
require the use of tire chains, be sure to
use tire chains that have been properly
selected for the size of tire on your
HYUNDAI vehicle.
Be sure to follow the guidelines and
installation instructions provided from
the tire chain manufacturer.
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper tire chain use is not covered by
your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING
The use of tire chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:

[Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer's
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.

[ Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the
vehicle to bounce.

[ Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.
CAUTION
If your vehicle has 235/40R18 size tires,
do not use tire chain; they can damage
your vehicle (wheel, suspension and
body).
WINTER DRIVING

Driving Your Vehicle6-68
Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on the
driver’s door sill at the center pillar and
shows the maximum allowable weight of
the fully loaded vehicle. This is called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle,
all occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle, including
all occupants, accessories, cargo, and
trailer tongue load must not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
the 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. Be sure
to spread out your load equally on both
sides of the centerline.
WARNING
Overloading

[ Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the front
or rear axle and vehicle capacity
weight. Exceeding these ratings
can affect your vehicle’s handling
and braking ability, and cause an
accident.

[ Do not overload your vehicle.
Overloading your vehicle can cause
heat buildup in your vehicle’s tires
and possible tire failure, increased
stopping distances and poor vehicle
handling-all of which may result in a
crash.
NOTICE
Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Do not overload your
vehicle.
WARNING
If you carry items inside your vehicle
(for example, suitcases, tools, packages,
or anything else), they are moving as
fast as the vehicle. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items will keep going and can cause
an injury if they strike the driver or a
passenger.

[Put items in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.

[ Do not stack items like suitcases
inside the vehicle above the tops of
the seats.

[ Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.

[ When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it.
