not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel
can reduce vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system.

ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and performance problems that are
caused by the use of methanol or fuels

Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating
of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher
must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded

converter to become ineffective and the emis-
sion control system to malfunction.

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 Hyundai vehicle.
