mission of HYUNDAI Motor America.
Poor-quality fuels and lubri-
cants, which fail to meet
HYUNDAI specification, may
severely damage an engine and
transmission. You must always
use the high-quality fuels and
lubricants that meet the specifi-
cations, listed in the Vehicle
Specifications and Consumer
Information chapter on page 8-4
and 8-8.
CAUTION

Your vehicle is designed to maximize
its driving performance as well as to
minimize exhaust emissions and
spark plug fouling, when being refu-
eled with UNLEADED FUEL.
Your vehicle is designed to use only
the unleaded fuel having a Pump
Octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87
(Research Octane Number 91) or
higher.
To further improve your vehicle per-
formance, premium unleaded fuel
having a Pump Octane number
((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane
Number 96) or higher is recommend-
ed. (Do not use methanol blended
fuels.)Gasoline containing alcohol andmethanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol), is on sale along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol, of which the
ethanol percentage is 10% or more.
Also, do not use gasoline or gasohol
containing any methanol. Either of
these fuels may cause drivability
problems, including hard starting,
rough running before the engine
warm-up, illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine con-
trol system and emission control sys-
tem.
Stop using gasohol of any kind, if a
drivability problem occurs.
The manufacturer's warranty does
not cover vehicle damage or a dri-
vability problem, which is caused by
one of the followings:
1. Gasohol, of which the ethanol per-
centage is 10% or more
2. Gasoline or gasohol, containing methanol
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol

Introduction

Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.
Tightly close the cap, until it clicks one time. Otherwise,
the Malfunction Indicator
Light " " will illuminate.
Always confirm that the fuel cap is securely closed in
order to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Never add any fuel-system
cleaning additives to the fuel
tank, unless specified. (Consult
an authorized EQUUS dealer for
further details.)
CAUTION

"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-
prised of 85% of ethanol and 15% of
gasoline, and is exclusively manufac-
tured for Flexible Fuel Vehicles. "E85"
cannot be refueled in your vehicle.
Refueling with "E85" will result in
poor engine performance and dam-
age to your vehicle’s engine and fuel
system. HYUNDAI recommends you
not to use the fuel, of which the
ethanol percentage is 10% or more.Other fuels
Using fuels such as;- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel,and
- Other metallic additives con- tained fuels,
may cause vehicle and engine dam-
age or cause plugging, misfiring,
poor acceleration, engine stalling,
catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion,
life cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problem caused by the
use of these fuels may not be cov-
ered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
NOTICE
F9
Introduction
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty does not cover dam-
age to the fuel system or any
performance problems caused
by the use of "E85" fuel.
CAUTION
Never use gasoline, containing
methanol. Stop using any gaso-
hol product, which impairs your
drivability.
CAUTION

Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful
manganese-based fuel additives
such as MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese
Tricarbonyl). HYUNDAI does not rec-
ommend to use gasoline containing
MMT. This type of fuel may reduce
vehicle performance and affect your
emission control system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on
the cluster may illuminate.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used. This
type of fuel may reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage the fuel sys-
tem components, engine control sys-
tem and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends you to use
high-quality gasoline, treated with
detergent additives such as TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline. This prevents
deposit formation in the engine. These
types of gasoline will help to clean the
engine and to enhance performance
of the Emission Control System. For
more information on TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline, please go to the
website (www.toptiergas.com).
For drivers, who do not regularly use
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline and
have problems, such as hard starting
or rough engine running, gasoline
additives can be separately added.
When TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
is unavailable, one bottle of additives
is recommended at every 7,500 miles
or in every 12 months.
Additives are available from your
authorized EQUUS dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do
not mix it with other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
When you plan to drive your vehicle
in another country, make sure to:
Check all regulations, regardingregistrations and insurances.
Find out whether the acceptable fuel is available.
Introduction
F10
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover dam-
age to the fuel system and any
performance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol.
CAUTION

No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple steps for
the first 600 miles (1,000 km), you
may enhance the performance, fuel
economy and life of your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your enginespeed between 2,000 rpm (revolu-
tions per minute) and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain the same speed for a long period of time, either fast
or slow. The engine speed needs to
be varied for the proper break-in.
Avoid hard stops, except in an emergency, to allow the brakes to
set properly.
Do not tow a trailer for the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km).
