Introduction
Petrol engine
Unleaded
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you to use unleaded
petrol which has an EN 228 and has
an octane rating of RON (Research
Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti
Knock Index) 91 or higher.(Do not
use methanol blended fuels.)
You may use unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of RON 91-94 / AKI 87-
90 but it may result in slight perform-
ance reduction of the vehicle.
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-
imise exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Petrol containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol), and petrol or gasohol containing
methanol (also known as wood alco-
hol) are being marketed along with or
instead of leaded or unleaded petrol.
Do not use gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use
petrol or gasohol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine control
system and emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability prob-
lems may not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty if they result
from the use of:
1. Gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol.
2. Petrol or gasohol containing
methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental
to the catalytic converter and
will damage the engine control
system’s oxygen sensor and
affect emission control.
Never add any fuel system
cleaning agents to the fuel tank
other than what has been speci-
fied (We recommend that you
consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for details.)
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refuelling.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.

Immobiliser system
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem to reduce the risk of unautho-
rised vehicle use.
Your immobiliser system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
key and electronic devices inside the
vehicle.
Vehicles without smart key sys-
tem
With the immobiliser system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON,
it checks and determines and verifies
if the ignition key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will
not start.To deactivate the immobiliser system:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-
tion.
To activate the immobiliser system:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobiliser system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
Vehicles with smart key system
Whenever the engine start/stop but-
ton is changed to the ON position,
the immobiliser system checks and
verifies if the key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will
not start.
To deactivate the immobiliser system
Change the engine start/stop button
to the ON position.
To activate the immobiliser system
Change the engine start/stop button
to the OFF position. The immobiliser
system activates automatically.
Without a valid smart key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start.

WARNING - Refuelling
• If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refuelling.

using the remote fuel filler lid
release, you can open it manually.
Remove the panel in the luggage
compartment area. Pull the handle
out slightly.
(Continued)
• When refuelling, always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapours caus-
ing a fire. Once refuelling is
complete, check to make sure
the filler cap and filler door
are securely closed, before
starting the engine.
• DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle whilst at a gas station
especially during refuelling.
Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
• If a fire breaks out during refu-
elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.CAUTION
• Make sure to refuel your vehi-
cle according to the "Fuel
requirements" suggested in
section 1.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, please make
sure that you use parts
designed for replacement in
your vehicle. An incorrect fuel
filler cap can result in a seri-
ous malfunction of the fuel
system or emission control
system. For more detailed
information, we recommend
that you contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• Do not spill fuel on the exteri-
or surfaces of the vehicle. Any
type of fuel spilled on painted
surfaces may damage the
paint.
• After refuelling, make sure the
fuel cap is installed securely
to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.
CAUTION
Do not pull the handle exces-
sively, otherwise the luggage

Electronic power steering
(if equipped)
Power steering uses the motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle. If
the engine is off or if the power steer-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by the power steering con-
trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to
command the motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for better control of
the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not
illuminate.
• The steering effort is high immedi-
ately after turning the ignition
switch on. This happens as the sys-
tem performs the EPS system
diagnostics. When the diagnostics
is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from
the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or
LOCK/OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when
the vehicle is at a stop or at a low
driving speed.
• The steering effort increases if the
steering wheel is rotated continu-
ously when the vehicle is not in
motion. However, after a few min-
utes, it will return to its normal
conditions.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If the Electronic Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate on
the instrument cluster. The steer-
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate abnormally. We
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise could occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.

Features of your vehicle
Power steering (if equipped)
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the
vehicle. If the engine is off or if the
power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
✽NOTICE
If the power steering drive belt
breaks or if the power steering
pump malfunctions, the steering
effort will greatly increase.
✽NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather
(below -10°C/14°F), the power steer-
ing may require increased effort
when the engine is first started. This
is caused by increased fluid viscosity
due to the cold weather and does not
indicate a malfunction.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing accelera-
tor until the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm
then release or let the engine idle for
two or three minutes to warm up the
fluid.
Tilt steering
A tilt steering wheel allows you to
adjust the steering wheel before you
drive. You can also raise it to give
your legs more room when you exit
and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, whilst permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel
against a stop (extreme right or
left turn) for more than 5 sec-
onds with the engine running.
Holding the steering wheel for
more than 5 seconds in either
position may cause damage to
the power steering pump.
WARNING
• Never adjust the angle and
height of steering wheel
whilst driving. You may lose
your steering control and
cause severe personal injury
or accidents.
• After adjusting, push the
steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is locked
in position.
