THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OP-
ERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL.
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT
FROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL.
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
OGK016100N
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you to use unleaded
petrol with an octane rating of RON
(Research Octane Number) 95 /AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.
You may use unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of RON 91~94/AKI 87~90
but it may result in slight performance
reduction of the vehicle.
To prevent accidental charging of the
fuel tank with leaded fuel, a small diam-
eter filler neck along with a restrictor
flap are fitted to ensure that only un-
leaded fuel pump nozzles may enter
the filler neck. However, care must be
exercised when refuelling the vehicle
tank from fuel cans or by means of a
funnel that the fuel being used is un-
leaded.
The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle
will result in irreversible pollution of the
catalyst element. Such pollution will
prevent correct operation of the cata-
lyst and give rise to increased operating
temperatures leading to the catalyst
element melting and restricting the ex-
haust flow along with an increase in
exhaust emission levels.
!
CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not ex-
tend to damage arising from the use
of incorrect fuels.

Operation in Foreign Countries
Drivers of vehicles which are to be
operated in foreign countries must
satisfy themselves that:
o The vehicle meets all local regula-
tions with respect to insurance,

tion of the vehicle.

Fuels for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
Hyundai recommends that you use
fuels treated with detergent additives,
which help to prevent deposit forma-
tion in the engine. These fuels will help
the engines run cleaner and increase
the Emission Control System perfor-
mance.
