FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

B010A02O-GAT
Use Unleaded Gasoline
If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause
the catalytic converter to become inef-
fective and the emission control sys-
tem to malfunction.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type
diesel fuel.
This can also result in increased main-
tenance expense. To avoid accidental
use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle
used with leaded gasoline at service
stations can not be inserted into fuel
tank opening of your Hyundai.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com-
pletely purged to permit restarting.
NOTE:
!
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hiclesaredesignedtouseleaded

use leaded gasoline, ask to
Hyundai dealer whether leaded
gasoline in your vehicle is avail-
able or not.
CAUTION:

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.
For Europe – For the optimal vehicle
performance, we recommend you to

ratingofRON(ResearchOctaneNum-
ber) 95 /AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or

is same with unleaded one.

fin oil may be added to the fuel if
the temperature drops to below
-10°C. Never use more than 20%
paraffin oil.
