B010A01FC-1
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating
of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher
must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded
gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic
converter to become ineffective and the emis-
sion control system to malfunction. This can
also result in increased maintenance expense.

nozzle used with leaded gasoline at service
stations can not be inserted into fuel tank
opening of Hyundai vehicle.

o
Do not let any gasoline or water enter the
tank. This would make it necessary to
drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid
jamming the injection pump and damag-
ing the engine.

Gasolines for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai rec-
ommends that you use gasolines 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.
o
