Vehicle specific information

Vehicle specs, recommendations, and locations of important items.

Fuel Grade

  • The Tucson is designed to run efficiently on regular unleaded gasoline, which is the most common type and has an octane rating of 87. 
  • While using higher octane fuel (like premium) won't necessarily harm the engine, it won't provide any significant benefits either. 


Fuel Hatch Sticker:

  • You can also find the recommended fuel type and octane rating on a sticker located on the fuel door or gas cap.



Do not use:

  • E85 (85% ethanol)
  • Leaded gasoline
  • Fuel with methanol

Roadside Emergency: Spare Tire & Tools

1. Check for a Spare Tire or Tire Repair Kit:

  • Many newer cars, including some Hyundai models, are opting for tire repair kits instead of full-size spare tires to save weight and space . 
  • If you have a spare tire, it's likely a space-saver (donut) type . 
  • Check under the cargo area floor panel or in the designated storage area . 
  • If you have a tire repair kit, it will usually include a sealant, a compressor, and a power cable . 

2. If you have a spare tire:

  • Locate the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench . 
  • Follow the instructions in your owner's manual for changing the tire . 
  • Remember to check the spare tire's pressure and condition regularly . 
  • When driving on a spare tire, adhere to the speed and distance limitations (typically 50 mph and 50 miles) . 

3. If you have a tire repair kit:

  • The kit typically involves using sealant to temporarily fix a puncture, then inflating the tire .
  • Once the tire is repaired, you'll need to get it professionally repaired or replaced as soon as possible .
