Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded gasoline. When
you are going to use leaded gasoline, we
recommend that you ask an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is
same with unleaded one.
A020103AUN
Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-
lems and damage to the fuel system,
engine control system and emission con-
trol system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or drivability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur-
er’s warranty if they result from the use
of:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10%
ethanol.
2. Gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
Other fuels
Using fuels such as;
- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and
- Other metalic additives contained fuels,
may cause vehicle and engine damage
or cause plugging, misfiring, poor accel-
eration, engine stalling, catalyst melting,
abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduction,
etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
✽NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or perform-
ance problem caused by the use of these
fuels may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
• Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any
gasohol product which impairs dri-
vability.

Use of MTBE
HYUNDAI recommends avoiding fuels
containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content
2.7% weight) in your vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
A020105AUN
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system, engine control system
and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
unleaded gasoline which has an octane
rating of RON(Research
Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock
Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or
Octane Rating of RON (Research
Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) 87 or higher (except Europe).
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.
A020107AUN
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.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance prob-
lems that are caused by the use of
fuels containing methanol or fuels
containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

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.

Biodiesel (for New Zealand)
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 biofu-
els exceeding 7%, made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), vegetable oil methyl
ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceed-
ing 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
covered 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.
CAUTION
• Never use any fuel, whether
diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,
that fails to meet the latest petro-
leum industry specification.
• Never use any fuel additives or
treatments that are not recom-
mended or approved by the vehi-
cle manufacturer.

(Continued)
• The urea solution system (i.e.
urea solution nozzle, urea solu-
tion pump, and DCU) operates for
approximately 2 minutes more to
eliminate the remaining urea
solution inside, even after the
ignition switch is pressed to the
OFF position. Before the mainte-
nance service, make sure that the
urea solution system is com-
pletely turned OFF.
• The poor urea solution or the
unauthorized liquids may dam-
age the vehicle components,
including the DPF system. Any
unverified additives in the urea
solution may clog the SCR cata-
lyst and cause other malfunc-
tions, which require the expen-
sive DPF system to be replaced.
• When the urea solution contacts
with the eyes or the skin, you
should thoroughly wash the con-
taminated skin area. .
• When you swallow the urea solu-
tion, thoroughly rinse your mouth
and drink a lot of fresh water. Then,
immediately consult a doctor.
(Continued)WARNING
• Do not apply any external impact
on the DPF system. It may dam-
age the catalyst, which is
equipped inside the DPF system.
• Do not arbitrarily modify or
manipulate the DPF system by
redirecting or lengthen the
exhaust pipe. It may adversely
impact the DPF system.
• Avoid contact with the drained
water from the exhaust pipe. The
water is slightly acid and harmful
to skin. If contacted, thoroughly
wash it.
• Any arbitrary manipulation or
modification of the DPF system
may cause a system malfunction.
The DPF system is controlled by
the complex device.
• Wait for the DPF system to cool
down before the maintenance
service, as it is hot due to the
heat generation. Otherwise, it
may case a skin burn.
• Add only the specified urea solu-
tion, when your vehicle is
equipped with the urea solution
system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When your cloth is contaminated
with the urea solution, immedi-
ately change your cloth.
• When you have an allergic reac-
tion to the urea solution, immedi-
ately consult a doctor.
• Do not allow a child to contact
the urea solution.
• Wipe off any urea solution
spillage with water or cloth. When
the urea solution is crystalized,
wipe it off with the sponge or the
cloth, which is dampened in the
cold water. When the urea solu-
tion spillage is exposed in the air
for an extended period of time, it
is crystalized in white, damaging
the vehicle surface.
• The urea solution is not the fuel
additives. Thus, it should not be
injected to the fuel tank.
Otherwise, it may damage the
engine.
• The urea solution is the aqueous
solution, which is inflammable,
non-toxic, colorless and odor-
less.

Urea solution purity
• The following situations may damage
the DPF system.
- Fuels or any unauthorized liquids are
added into the urea solution tank.
- Additives are mixed in the urea solu-
tion.
- Water is added to dilute the urea
solution.
• Use only the ISO 22241- or DIN7007O-
specified urea solution. When any unau-
thorized urea solution is added to the
tank, we recommend you to contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• When any unauthorized impurities
enter the urea solution tank, it may
occur the following problems.
- Increased emission
- Malfunction with the DPF system
- Engine failure
Never add the used urea solution, which
is drained from the tank (i.e. while main-
taining the vehicle). Its purity cannot be
guaranteed. Always add the new urea
solution.Specific
ation of
the
tandard
urea
solutionLiquid such as diesel, gasoline
and alcohol shall never be used
for SCR system. Any fluid other
than recommended urea solu-
tion (conform to ISO22241 or
DIN70070) can damage SCR
system hardware and deterio-
rate vehicle emission.WARNING
• When opening the urea solution
tank cap at high outside tempera-
tures, ammonia vapors may
escape. Ammonia vapors have a
pungent smell and primarily
cause irritation of the:
- Skin
- Mucous membranes
- Eyes
You may experience a burning
sensation in your eyes, nose and
throat, as well as coughing and
watering of the eyes. Do not
inhale ammonia vapors. Do not
allow urea solution to come in
direct contact with your skin. It is
hazardous to your health. Wash
any affected areas off with plenty
of clean water. If necessary, con-
sult a doctor.
• When handling with urea solution
in closed space, ensure good ven-
tilation. When the bottle of urea
solution container is opened, pun-
gent smelling fumes may escape.
