oil HYUNDAI IX35 2016 Owners Manual

Introduction41Fuel AdditivesHYUNDAI recommends that you use
unleaded petrol which has an octane rat-
ing 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 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 10,000 miles (15,000 km).
Additives are available from your
HYUNDAI authorised repairer along with
information on how to use them. Do not
mix other additives.Operation in foreign countriesDrivers of vehicles which are to be oper-
ated in foreign countries must satisfy
themselves that:
 The vehicle meets all local regulationswith respect to insurance, specifica-
tions etc..
 The correct types and grades of fuel are available for satisfactory operation
of the vehicle.
Diesel engineDiesel fuelDiesel 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 and
cause 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 typediesel 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
Do not allow petrol or water to enter the fuel tank. If this happens, the tank should be completely drainedand the fuel lines must all becleaned out to prevent the fuel pump from becoming contaminat-ed.
CAUTION
- Diesel Fuel
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel fordiesel vehicle equipped with the DPF 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.

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 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 covered by
the manufactures warranty.As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (higher
ground clearance, track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher centre of gravity than
other types of vehicles. In other words
they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel
drive vehicles. Avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres. Again, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.
Be sure to read the “Reducing
the risk of a rollover” driving guide-
lines, in section 5 of this manual. No special run-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
 Do not race the engine.
 Whilst driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
 Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly run-in the engine.
 Avoid hard stops, except in emergen- cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
 Don't tow a trailer/caravan during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera-
tion.
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.

Safety features of your vehicle18
3Seat belt restraint systemSEAT BELTS
(Continued)
 Never wear a seat belt over frag-
ile objects. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, the seat belt can
damage it.
 Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twisted belt can't do its job as
well. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt
webbing is straight and not twist-
ed.
 Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged, replace it.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
(Continued)
WARNING
 For maximum restraint systemprotection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car
is moving.
 Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
 Children age 12 and younger must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat. Never
allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. If a child over 12
must be seated in the front seat,
he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
 Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con-
tamination of the webbing with pol-
ishes, oils and chemicals, and par-
ticularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged. It is essential to replace
the entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not
obvious. Belts should not be worn
with straps twisted. Each belt
assembly must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to put a
belt around a child being carried on
the occupant's lap.

Engine oil pressure warn-ing This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates whilst 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, we rec-
ommend that you call a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
Engine oil level warning light (if equipped)The engine oil level warning light illumi-
nates when the engine oil level should be
checked.
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 oil little by
little into a funnel. (Oil refill capacity :
approximately 0.6 ~ 1.0 l)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac-
ities" in section 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil to ensure
the oil level is not above F mark on the
dipstick.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning lightstays on whilst the engine is run-ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there isinsufficient oil pressure. In normaloperation, it should come on whenthe ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine isstarted. If the oil pressure warninglight stays on whilst the engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-tion.
If this happens, stop the car assoon as it is safe to do so, turn offthe engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oilto the proper level and start theengine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn theengine off immediately. In any instance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, we rec-ommend that the system be checked by a HYUNDAI authorisedrepairer.
CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped immedi-ately after the engine oil pressure warning light is illuminated, severedamage could result.

✽
NOTICE• If you travel approximately 50~100
km after the engine warms up, after
adding the engine oil, the warning
light will go off.
• Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON 3 times within 10 seconds, the warning
light will go off immediately. However,
when you turn off the warning light
without adding the engine oil, the light
will come on again after travelling
approximately 50~100 km after the
engine warms up.
Parking brake & brake
fluid warning Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the START or ON position. The warning
light should go off when the parking
brake is released.
Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are found, the warning light remains on or
the brakes do not operate properly. We
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer. Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still
have braking on two wheels even if one
of the dual systems should fail. With only
one of the dual systems working, more
than normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the car will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working. If the brakes fail
whilst you are driving, shift to a lower
gear for additional engine braking and
stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light on is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains on, we rec-
ommend that the system be serv-
iced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
CAUTION
If the light comes on continuously
after adding the engine oil and trav- elling approximately 50~100 kmafter the engine warms up, we rec-ommend that the system bechecked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Even if this light doesn't come onafter the engine has started, theengine oil should be checked and supplied periodically.
