FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Unleaded Gasoline
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating
of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher
must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gaso-
line is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to
become ineffective and the emission control
system to malfunction.
This can also result in increased maintenance
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.
NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. When
you are going to use leaded gasoline, ask
to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gaso-
line in your vehicle is available or not.
o Octane rating of leaded gasoline is same
with unleaded one.

What About Gasohol?
Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline
and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used
in your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-
ops drive ability problems, the use of 100%
unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with
unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols
other than ethanol, should not be used.
B010D01S-AAT
Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can
reduce vehicle performance and damage com-
ponents of the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel sys-
tem and performance problems that are
caused by the use of methanol or fuels con-
taining methanol.

Gasolines for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom-
mends that you use gasolines treated with deter-
gent additives, which help prevent deposit for-
mation in the engine. These gasolines will help
the engine run cleaner and enhance performance
of the Emission Control System.
Use Diesel
Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating
to use in your Hyundai. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel properly
according to the following temperature condi-
tions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If
the engine stops through fuel failure, the circuits
must be completely purged to permit restarting.
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.
o In winter, in order to cut down incidents
due to freezing, paraffin oil may be added
to the fuel if the temperature drops to
below -10°C. Never use more than 20%
paraffin oil.
