Introduction
Gasoline engine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you use unleaded
gasoline which has an octane rating
of RON (Research Octane Number)
95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or
higher. (Do not use methanol blend-
ed fuels.)
You may use unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of RON 91~94/AKI
87~90 but it may result in slight per-
formance reduction of the vehicle.
Except Europe
Your new Hyundai 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. (Do
not use methanol blended fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
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 speci-
fied. (Consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for details.)
