B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) may be used in your Hyundai.However, if your engine develops driveability problems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline is recommended.Fuels with unspecified quantities ofalcohol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used.
B010A01O-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline
NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai
vehicles are designed to use leaded gasoline. When you aregoing to use leaded gasoline,ask to Hyundai dealer whetherleaded gasoline in your vehicle is available or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso- line is same with unleaded one.
Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or win-ter fuel properly according to the fol-lowing temperature conditions.
o Above -5 C (23 F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below -5 C (23 F) ... Winter type
diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops throughfuel failure, the circuits must be com-pletely purged to permit restarting.
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Oc-tane Rating of 87 (Research OctaneNumber 91) or higher must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic con-verter to become ineffective and theemission control system to malfunc-tion. This can also result in increasedmaintenance expense. To avoid acci- dental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline atservice stations can not be insertedinto fuel tank opening of Hyundai ve-hicle. HTB187
CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would makeit necessary to drain it out and tobleed the lines to avoid jammingthe injection pump and damag-ing the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down
incidents due to freezing, paraf-fin oil may be added to the fuel ifthe temperature drops to below -10°C. Never use more than 20%paraffin oil.

!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is run-ning, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there isinsufficient oil pressure. In normaloperation, it should come on whenthe ignition switch is turned on,then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine isrunning, there may be a seriousmalfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. Ifthe oil level is low, fill the engine oilto the proper level and start theengine again. If the light stays onwith the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any in- stance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, theengine should be checked by anauthorized Hyundai dealer beforethe car is driven again.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light should come on when theparking brake is applied and the igni-tion switch is turned to "ON" or"START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the park- ing brake is released.If the parking brake is not applied, thewarning light should come on when theignition switch is turned to "ON" or"START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicleand bring it to a complete stop in a safelocation off the roadway.The brake warning light indicates thatthe brake fluid level in the brake mas- ter cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4specifications should be added. Afteradding fluid, if no other trouble is found,the car should be immediately andcarefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is experi- enced, the vehicle should not be drivenat all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or someother safe method.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, haveyour brakes checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. Drivingyour car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, andcould result in a serious injury ordeath.

2- 16 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C to open the frozenlock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head.
C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 and replace them if neces- sary. Also check all ignition wiring andcomponents to be sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
chains on the tire will provide a greaterdriving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all prov- inces. Check province laws beforefitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter. C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyun-dai dealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If youaren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
