FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use Unleaded Petrol
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
Unleaded petrol with a Pump Oc-
tane Rating of 87 (Research Octane
Number 91) or higher must be used
in your Hyundai.
If leaded petrol is used, it will cause the
catalytic converter to become ineffec-
tive and the emission control system to
malfunction. This can also result in
increased maintenance expense.
To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel,
the larger nozzle used with leaded
petrol at service stations cannot be
inserted into the fuel tank opening of
your Hyundai.

What About Gasohol [E-10]?
Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded
gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain
alcohol) may be used in your Hyundai.
However, if your engine develops drive
ability problems, the use of 100% un-
leaded gasoline is recommended. Fu-
els with unspecified quantities of alco-
hol, or alcohols other than ethanol,
should not be used.
B010D01A-DAT
Do not Use Methanol
B010A04A
Fuels containing methanol (wood al-
cohol) should not be used in your
Hyundai. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage com-
ponents of the fuel system.
!
CAUTION:
Hyundai Warranty Policy will not
cover the damage of the fuel sys-
tem and performance problems that
are caused by the use of methanol
or fuels containing methanol.

Petrol for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
Hyundai recommends that you use
petrol treated with detergent additives,
which help prevent deposit formation
in the engine. This petrol will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control Sys-
tem.
