Type, properties and volumes of working fluids
The use of leaded gasoline and the misuse of fuel additives can result in catalytic converter failure, emissions failure and engine damage. On diesel models, do not use additives for winter operation, which increase the fluidity of the fuel. If these requirements are not met in the event of an engine failure, the manufacturer's warranty obligations for this vehicle do not apply.
Recommended fuel
Petrol engines: Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95 (research method).
Diesel engine: Use diesel fuel with a cetane rating of at least 50.
Operate the vehicle with summer or winter grade diesel fuel, depending on the ambient temperature.
At temperatures above -7°С - summer grade of fuel.
At temperatures below -7°С - winter grade of fuel.
Attention! It is forbidden to fill the vehicle with liquid fuel intended for domestic heating boilers, gasoline and any flammable liquids other than diesel fuel.
Attention! If the wrong fuel is used, the engine will be seriously damaged.
Attention! Do not refuel with summer grade diesel fuel if the ambient temperature is below -7°C. When cooled in summer fuel, paraffin crystals intensively precipitate, which clog the fuel filter. In this case, the engine may stop or run intermittently.
With no unleaded fuel grade «super» you can use 91 octane fuel, avoiding high engine loads and full vehicle loads, as well as driving in the mountains with a trailer or with a high load - this reduces engine power and torque. Knock regulator depending on the type of fuel filled (its octane number) automatically adjusts the ignition system.
Note. Engines adjusted at the factory to run on AI-95 octane gasoline can also be operated on AI-98 gasoline without restrictions, however, this will not lead to an increase in economy or improve the performance of the vehicle.
Low Emission Gasoline
In order to reduce air pollution, the company «Hyundai Motor Company» recommends the use of gasoline containing special additives to prevent the formation of deposits in the engine. This type of gasoline will provide more efficient operation of the engine and emissions reduction system.
Break-in tips for a new car
For a new car, no special operations are required to break in the car. However, extending the service life, as well as improving fuel efficiency and maintaining high performance of a new Hyundai car, is facilitated by observing the following rules during the first 2000 km of run.
Do not exceed the speed limit of 88 km/h.
While driving, keep the engine running between 2000 and 4000 rpm–1.
Avoid sudden acceleration. Avoid abrupt starting with the accelerator pedal fully depressed.
Avoid hard braking during the first 300 km.
Do not overload the engine (in other words, avoid driving slowly when the gear is too high, shift to a lower gear). Avoid continuous movement at a constant speed. On vehicles equipped with an exhaust gas catalytic converter, do not allow the engine to idle for more than 3 minutes. Refrain from towing a trailer during the first 2000 km.
Recommendations for choosing engine oil viscosity (gasoline engines)
Pic. 1.4. Table of prevailing ambient temperature until the next engine oil change
It is recommended to use engine oil with a viscosity of 5W-30, in the absence of such an oil, follow the diagram given, taking into account the prevailing ambient temperatures.
Air conditioning refrigerant
Charge your vehicle's air conditioning system with HFC-134a refrigerant (R-134a) or similar operating material, fully equivalent to the specified in its properties. Using a different refrigerant will cause serious damage to the air conditioning system and will require a complete replacement of the system.
It is not recommended to release the refrigerant into the atmosphere. Refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a), used in cars, does not have a harmful effect on the ozone layer of the atmosphere. However, the release of refrigerant into the atmosphere may contribute to global warming to a small extent.
Attention! It is forbidden to use green-blue antifreezes / antifreezes containing silicate in the cooling system. Adding any additives to antifreeze is not recommended (including for sealing the system and eliminating small leaks).
