WARNING S SA AF FE ET TY Y M ME ES SS SA AG GE ES S Page: 6 F7 Introduction F FU UE EL L R RE EQ QU UI IR RE EM ME EN NT TS S NOTICE indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in vehicle damage. Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini- mize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling. Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having an octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. (Do not use methanol blended fuels) To prevent damage to the engine and engine components, never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified. Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for additional information. Gasoline containing alcohol or methanol Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alco- hol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gaso- line. For example, 'E15' is a gasohol comprised of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause drivability problems and dam- age to the fuel system, engine con- trol system and emission control sys- tem. Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur. NOTICE NOTICE CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moder- ate injury. CAUTION. Do not 'top off' after the noz- zle automatically shuts off when refueling.

Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre- vent fuel spillage in the event of an accident. WARNING Page: 7 F8 Introduction 'E85' fuel is an alternative fuel com- prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, and is manufac- tured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. 'E85' is not compati- ble with your vehicle. Use of 'E85' may result in poor engine perform- ance and damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel system.

HYUNDAI recommends that customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content exceeding 15 percent. To prevent damage to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system:. Never use gasohol which con- tains methanol.

Never use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol. Never use leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. Never use 'E85' fuel. Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel system or any perform- ance problems caused by the use of 'E85' fuel.

Using Fuel Additives (except Detergent Fuel Additives) Using fuel additives such as: - Silicone fuel additive - Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive - Other metallic-based fuel additives may result in cylinder misfire, poor acceleration, engine stalling, dam- age to the catalyst, or abnormal cor- rosion, and may cause damage to the engine resulting in a reduction in the overall life of the powertrain. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate. Damage to the fuel system or per- formance problem caused by the use of these fuels or fuel additives may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Gasoline containing MMT Some gasoline contains harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). HYUNDAI does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT.

This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and affect your emis- sion control system. The malfunction indicator lamp on the cluster may come on. Detergent Fuel Additives HYUNDAI recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with detergent additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help pre- vent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance performance of the Emission Control System. For more information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the website (www.toptiergas.com). NOTICE NOTICE Page: 8 F9 Introduction For customers who do not use TOP Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, deter- gent-based fuel additives that you can purchase separately may be added to the gasoline.

2017 Hyundai Elantra Manual Transmission

If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive added to the fuel tank at every 7,500 miles or 12 months is recommended. Additives are available from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer 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. This vehicle should not be modi- fied. Modification of your vehicle could affect its performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and emis- sions regulations. In addition, damage or perform- ance problems resulting from any modification may not be covered under warranty. If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to operate abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire. For your safety, do not use unauthorized electronic devices.

By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to the performance, econo- my and life of your vehicle. Do not race the engine. While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.Varying engine speed is need- ed to properly break-in the engine. Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.

V VE EH HI IC CL LE E B BR RE EA AK K- -I IN N P PR RO OC CE ES SS S V VE EH HI IC CL LE E M MO OD DI IF FI IC CA AT TI IO ON NS S Page: 9 F10 Introduction This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety sys- tems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:.

How various systems in your vehicle were operating;. Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/ fastened;. How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,. How fast the vehicle was travel- ing.

These data can help provide a bet- ter understanding of the circum- stances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of per- sonally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investiga- tion.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
