"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-
prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 per-
cent gasoline, and is manufactured
exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel
Vehicles. “E85” is not compatible with
your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in
poor engine performance and damage to
your vehicle's engine and fuel system.
HYUNDAI recommends that customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content
exceeding 10 percent.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.
Gasolines for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
HYUNDAI recommends you use gaso-
lines treated with detergent additives,
which help prevent deposit formation in
the engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control System.

istration and insurance.
