Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
good quality gasolines treated with
detergent additives such as TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, 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. For more information on TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go
to the website (www.toptiergas.com)
For customers who do not use TOP
Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly, and
have problems starting their vehicle or
the engine does not run smoothly,
additives that you can buy separately
may be added to the gasoline.
