B010A01A-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or highermust be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gaso-line is used, it will cause the catalytic converter tobecome ineffective and the emission controlsystem to malfunction.This can also result in increased maintenanceexpense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel,the larger nozzle used with leaded gasoline atservice stations can not be inserted into fuel tankopening of Hyundai vehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. Whenyou are going to use leaded gasoline, askto Hyundai dealer whether leaded gaso-line in your vehicle is available or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is same with unleaded one.
B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be usedin your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-ops drive ability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels withunspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcoholsother than ethanol, should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel canreduce vehicle performance and damage com-ponents of the fuel system. CAUTION: Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-ranty may not cover damage to the fuel sys-tem and performance problems that arecaused by the use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol. B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom- mends that you use gasolines treated with deter-gent additives, which help prevent deposit for-mation in the engine. These gasolines will helpthe engine run cleaner and the Emission ControlSystem performance. B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available. B020A01X-GAT BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI During the First 2,000 km (1,200 Miles) No formal "break-in" procedure is required with your new Hyundai. However, you can contributeto the economical operation and durability of yourHyundai by observing the following recommen-
dations during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles).
o Don't drive faster than 88 km/h (55 mph).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2000 and4000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quickly or depress the accelerator pedal fully.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
1- 22 B300A01A-GAT SPEEDOMETER Your Hyundai's speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour or miles per hour.
B280A01A-AAT FUEL GAUGE The needle on the gauge indicates the approxi- mate fuel level in the fuel tank. The fuel capacityis given in Section 9.
B900A01A-GAT ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND (If installed) The acoustic warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the door in driver side isopen. This prevents the battery from dischargingwhen the car is left with the tail lights on. Thechime sounds until the tail lights are turned off.
B260N02A-AAT
Malfunction Indicator Light (If installed)
This light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas related component, and thesystem is not functioning properly so that theexhaust gas regulation values are not satisfied.This light will also illuminate when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, and will go out in afew seconds. If it illuminates while driving, ordoes not illuminate when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, take your car to yournearest authorized Hyundai dealer and have thesystem checked.
when the brake pedal is pushed down firmly. Excessive rotor damage will result if the wornpads are not replaced. See your Hyundai dealerimmediately.

B290A02A-AAT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the en-gine is hot. The engine coolant is under pres-sure and could erupt and cause severe burns.Wait until the engine is cool before removingthe radiator cap. The needle on the engine coolant temperature gauge should stay in the normal range. If itmoves across the dial to "H" (Hot), pull over andstop as soon as possible and turn off the engine.Then open the hood and check the coolant leveland the water pump drive belt. If you suspectcooling system trouble, have your cooling sys-tem checked by Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7-1
7. EMISSION CON-
TROL SYSTEMS
H010A01A-GAT
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibition rules of your province. There are three emission control systems which
are as follows.
1) Crankcase emission control system
2) Evaporative emission control system
3) Exhaust emission control system In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended that you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in thismanual. the crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes withblow-by gases, which then pass through thePCV valve and into the induction system.

2. Evaporative Emission Control
System (If installed)
The Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere. Canister
While the engine is inoperative, fuel vapors
generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the onboard canister. When the en-gine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in thecanister are drawn into the induction systemthrough
the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECM; when the engine coolant temper-ature is low, and during idling, it closes, so thatevaporated fuel is not taken into the engine.After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens so as to introduce evaporated fuel to theengine.
H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control Sys-
tem
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System is
employed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case. This system supplies fresh filtered air to H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system is a high-
ly effective system which controls exhaust emis-sion while maintaining good vehicle perfor-mance.
H020A01A-GAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTER (If Installed)
The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust
emission control system. It's purpose is to re-move certain engine emission products from
the engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system. Catalytic Converter
