Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol) are being
marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline. 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 damage to the fuel system, engine
control system and emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur. “E85” fuel is an
alternative fuel comprised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, and is
manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is not compatible with
your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in poor engine performance and damage to your
vehicle’s engine and fuel system. Genesis Branded Vehicle recommends that customers
do not use fuel with an ethanol content exceeding 15 percent.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system:
• Never use gasohol which contains 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
performance 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, damage to the catalyst,
or abnormal corrosion, 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.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use of these fuels or
fuel additives may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
