Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
good quality gasoline that meets Europe
Fuel standards (EN228) or equivalents.
For customers who do not use good
quality gasoline including fuel additives
regularly, and have problems starting or
the engine does not run smoothly, one
bottle of additives added to the fuel tank
at every 15,000km (for Europe)/5,000km
(except Europe). Additives are available
from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer
along with information on how to use
them.

Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.
Diesel engine
A020201DUN
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable
standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm").Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating
oils, or non-approved fuel additives, as
this will increase wear and cause dam-
age to the engine and fuel system.
The use of non-approved fuels and/or
fuel additives will result in a limitation of
your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in
your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel
properly according to the following tem-
perature conditions.
• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel
fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very care-
fully : If the engine stops through fuel fail-
ure, the circuits must be completely
purged to permit restarting.
A020202BUN
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no
more than 7% biodiesel, commonly known
as "B7 Diesel" may be used in your vehicle
if Biodiesel meets EN 14214 or equivalent
specifications. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). The use of biofuels exceeding 7%
made from rapeseed methyl ester (RME),
fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), vegetable
oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel
exceeding 7% with biodiesel will cause
increased wear or damage to the engine
and fuel system. Repair or replacement of
worn or damaged components due to the
use of non approved fuels will not be cov-
ered by the manufactures warranty.
CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or water
enter the tank. This would make it
necessary to drain it out and to
bleed the lines to avoid jamming the
injection pump and damaging the
engine.
CAUTION- Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu-
lated automotive diesel fuel for
diesel vehicle equipped with the
DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including high
sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)
and unspecified additives, it can
cause the DPF system to be dam-
aged and white smoke can be emit-
ted.

Engine oil pressure
warning light
This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while driv-
ing:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
stop.
2. With the engine off, check the engine
oil level. If the level is low, add oil as
required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Engine oil level warning
light (Diesel engine,
if equipped)
When the engine oil is not enough, the
engine oil level warning light may be illu-
minated. If the warning light comes on,
check the engine oil level as soon as
possible and add engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended the oil lit-
tle by little into a funnel. (Oil refill capaci-
ty: approximately 0.6 ~ 1.0 L)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac-
ities" in section 9.) Do not overfill the
engine oil to ensure the oil level is not
above F mark on the dipstick.
✽NOTICE
• Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON 3
times within 5 seconds, the warning
light will go off immediately.
However, when you turn off the warn-
ing light without adding the engine oil,
the light may come on again.
• If you drive the vehicle after adding
the engine oil, the warning light will
go off within 1hour.
CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped imme-
diately after the engine oil pressure
warning light is illuminated, severe
damage could result.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage may
result. The oil pressure warning
light comes on whenever there is
insufficient oil pressure. In normal
operation, it should come on when
the ignition switch is turned on,
then go out when the engine is
started. If the oil pressure warning
light stays on while the engine is
running, there is a serious malfunc-
tion.
If this happens, stop the car as
soon as it is safe to do so, turn off
the engine and check the oil level. If
the oil level is low, fill the engine oil
to the proper level and start the
engine again. If the light stays on
with the engine running, turn the
engine off immediately. In any
instance where the oil light stays on
when the engine is running, the
engine should be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer before
the car is driven again.
