CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrect fuels. Diesel Engines Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the followingtemperature conditions.
o Above 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type
diesel fuel.
! Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops due to fuelfailure, the circuits must be completelypurged to permit restarting.
CAUTION:
Do not let any petrol or water enter the tank. This would make it neces- sary to drain it out and bleed thelines to avoid jamming the injectionpump and damaging the engine. Overseas Operation: When the vehicle is to be operated overseas, the vehicle operator shouldestablish that a suitable fuel for satis-factory operation of the vehicle is avail-able. SB010E1-A PETROLS FOR CLEANER AIR To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use fuels treated with detergent additives, which help to prevent deposit formation in the engine.These fuels will help the engines runcleaner and the Emission Control Sys-tem performance.
