B010A01O-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or highermust be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leadedgasoline is used, it will cause the catalyticconverter to become ineffective and the emis-sion control system to malfunction. This canalso result in increased maintenance expense.To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the largenozzle used with leaded gasoline at servicestations can not be inserted into fuel tankopening of Hyundai vehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles
are designed to use leaded gasoline.When you are going to use leaded gaso-line, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leadedgasoline in your vehicle is available ornot.
o Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is same with unleaded one.
Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available,
use summer or winter fuel properly according tothe following temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops through fuel failure, thecircuits must be completely purged to permitrestarting. CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would make it necessary todrain it out and to bleed the lines to avoidjamming the injection pump and damag-ing the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down incidents due to freezing, paraffin oil may be addedto the fuel if the temperature drops tobelow -10°C. Never use more than 20%paraffin oil. B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be usedin your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-ops driveability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels withunspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcoholsother than ethanol, should not be used. B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai rec- ommends that you use gasolines treated withdetergent additives, which help prevent depositformation in the engine. These gasolines willhelp the engine run cleaner and enhance per-formance of the Emission Control System.
B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This typeof fuel can reduce vehicle performance anddamage components of the fuel system. CAUTION: Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuelsystem and performance problems that are
caused by the use of methanol or fuelscontaining methanol.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTfrom jerry cans or by means of a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded. The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst ele-ment. Such pollution will prevent correct op-eration of the catalyst and give rise to in-creased operating temperatures leading tothe catalyst element melting and restrictingthe exhaust flow along with an increase inexhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrectfuels. Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel areavailable, use summer or winter fuel properlyaccording to the following temperature condi-tions.
o Above 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type diesel fuel. Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops through fuel failure, thecircuits must be completely purged to permitrestarting.

B010A02O-EAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL. SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Num- ber (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in thisvehicle. To prevent accidental charging of the fuel tank with leaded fuel, a small diameter fillerneck along with a restrictor flap are fitted toensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzlesmay enter the filler neck. However, care mustbe exercised when charging the vehicle tank SB010E1-A GASOLINES FOR CLEANER AIR To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolines treatedwith detergent additives, which help to pre-vent deposit formation in the engine. Thesegasolines will help the engines run cleanerand the Emission Control System performance.
CAUTION: Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would make it necessary todrain it out and to bleed the lines to avoidjamming the injection pump and damagingthe engine. Overseas Operation: When the vehicle is to be operated overseas, the vehicle operator should establish that asuitable fuel for satisfactory operation of thevehicle is available.
