The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element. Such pollution will prevent correct operation of the catalyst and give rise to increased operating temperatures leading to the catalyst element melting and restricting the exhaust flow along with an increase in exhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to dam- age arising from the use of incorrect fuels. Overseas Operation: When the vehicle is to be operated overseas, the vehicle operator should establish that a suitable fuel for satisfactory operation of the vehicle is available.
SB020A1-E RUNNING IN The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manufacturing techniques, rigid guidelines re- garding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, certain precautions should be observed in order to obtain the best possible performance and useful life from the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load (i.e
revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maximum en- gine speed should be restricted to 3000 rpmand gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation.
The internal components of the engine will become more quickly run in if the operation speed is varied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the
gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open- ings when the engine speed is below 1500 rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum
throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100
miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles of motorway driving to allow the friction facings of the brake pads and shoes to bed against the discs and drums properly.
7) Avoid trailer towing during the running in period.

SB010E1-E PETROLS FOR CLEANER AIR To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom- mends that you use petrols treated with deter- gent additives, which help to prevent deposit formation in the engine. These petrols will help the engines run cleaner and the Emission Con- trol System performance.
Unleaded fuel with a Reasearch Octane Number(RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle. To prevent accidental charging of the fuel tank with leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neck along with a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler neck. However, care must be exercised when charging the vehicle tank from jerry cans or by means of a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded.
SB010A1-E FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL. SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 o Since the power assistance provided by the
brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pressures being required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
SC140B1-E ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con- trol module monitors the wheel speed and con- trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while brak- ing. These conditions are normal and indi- cate that the anti-lock brake system is func- tioning properly.
when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road- way.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travel lanes. o In a collision crash, un unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKINGBraking system performance and friction mate- rial life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the best results from the braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade occur- ring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g.
fording), the brakes may become wet and performance reduced. Always check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing the brake pedal several times whilst driving slow- ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
6-12 SG120A1-E BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING CAUTION: Correct operation of the braking system is essential to the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, any maintenance operations other than those listed below should be en- trusted to a Hyundai dealer. SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in the braking system. Care should be taken to ob- serve the instructions and precautions printed upon the container. SG120D1-E Brake Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having care- fully cleaned the area surrounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be borne in mind that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.
higher mark. If additional fluid is required, thisshould be poured into the transmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel. WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automati- cally shut off. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION:The automatic transmission unit is a preci- sion engineered assembly and correct op- eration is dependant upon the exclusion of dirt and lint from the unit. Therefore, it is imperative that only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping the dipstick and that the area around the dipstick is thoroughly clean prior to level checking or adding fluid. Fluid Capacity The total fluid capacity of the transmission unit is 7.8 litres.
