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
vapour lock or hard starting.
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 ofthe fuel system.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use good quality petrols meet Europe Fuel
standards (EN228) or equivalents.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols 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. Additives are avail-
able from your authorised 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 reg-
istration and insurance.
 Determine that acceptable fuel is avail- able. Diesel engine
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 addi-
tives, as this will increase wear andcause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels
and / or fuel additives will result in a limi-
tation 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 fuelsystem and any performance prob-lems that are caused by the use of
fuels containing methanol or fuelscontaining MTBE (Methyl TertiaryButyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

Introduction
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 biofu-
els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding7% with biodiesel will cause increased
wear or damage to the engine and fuel
system. Repair or replacement of worn ordamaged components due to the use of
non approved fuels will not be covered 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 manufacturers warranty.CAUTION
Do not let any petrol or water enterthe tank. This would make it neces-
sary to drain it out and to bleed thelines to avoid jamming the injectionpump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
It is recommended to use the regu-
lated automotive diesel fuel for diesel vehicle equipped with theDPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)and unspecified additives, it cancause 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.

NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all
vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is deter-
mined by whichever occurs first. * 1
: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km or before
starting a long trip.
* 2
: The engine oil level should be checked regularly and main-
tained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount oil
can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.
* 3
: Inspect and if necessary correct or replace. Inspect drive
belt tensioner, idler and alternator, pulley and if necessary
correct or replace.
* 4
: The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but peri-
odic inspection is recommended for this maintenance
schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are some impor-
tant matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power,
hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately
regardless of maintenance schedule. We recommend that
you consult an authorised HYUNDAI dealer for details.
* 5
: This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is
applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or
equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. HYUNDAI rec-
ommends "every 7,500km inspection, every 15,000kmreplacement". If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problemetc., replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of main-
tenance schedule. We recommend that you consult an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer for details.
* 6
: Manual transaxle fluid, transfer case oil and rear differential
oil should be changed anytime they have been submerged
in water.
* 7
: When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft
water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can
result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
* 8
: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval
when you do maintenance of other items.
* 9
: If good quality petrols meet Europe Fuel standards (EN228)
or equivalents including fuel additives is not available, one
bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available
from your authorised HYUNDAI dealer along with informa-
tion on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
