Introduction
Use of MTBE
Genesis Branded Vehicle recommends avoiding fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) in your
vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of
the fuel system, engine control system and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
Genesis Branded Vehicle recommends that you use unleaded gasoline which
has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock
Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or Octane Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher (except Europe).
For customers who do not use good quality gasolines including fuel additives
regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly,
one bottle of additives added to the fuel tank at every 15,000km (for Europe)/
5,000km (except Europe). Additives are available from your authorized retail-
er of Genesis Branded products along with information on how to use them.
Do not mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in another country, be sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding registration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems that are caused by the use of
fuels containing methanol or fuels containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
