Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found low on the dashboardon the driver's side. Inside the box you will find alist showing the circuits protected by each fuse. If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse couldbe the reason. If the fuse has burned out, youwill see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in thefuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits
from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre- venting damage to the entire wiring harness.(This could be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens,have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,repair the system and replace the fusible link.The fusible links are located in a relay box foreasy inspection.
CAUTION: When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amperage rating. Never use apiece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.This could result in serious damage andcreate a fire hazard.

CHECKING DRIVE BELTS
Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At thesame time, belts should be examined for cracks,wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriorationand replaced if necessary.Belt routing should also be checked to be surethere is no interference between the belts andother parts of the engine. After a belt is re-placed, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slackresulting from initial stretching after use.

The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element.Such pollution will prevent correct operation ofthe catalyst and give rise to increased operatingtemperatures leading to the catalyst elementmelting and restricting the exhaust flow alongwith 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 suitablefuel for satisfactory operation of the vehicle isavailable.
B020A01S-EAT RUNNING INThe longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during thefirst 1,000 miles of motoring. Because of modernmanufacturing techniques, rigid guidelines re-garding maximum road speeds have becomeunnecessary. However, certain precautionsshould be observed in order to obtain the bestpossible performance and useful life from thevehicle.
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 3,000 rpmand gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome more quickly run in if the operationspeed 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 1,500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1,000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction facingsof the brake pads and shoes to bed againstthe discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken dur- ing the running in period.

B010E01A-EAT 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 depositformation in the engine. These petrols will helpthe 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 thisvehicle.To prevent accidental charging of the fuel tankwith leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neckalong with a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure thatonly unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter thefiller neck. However, care must be exercisedwhen refuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cansor by means of a funnel that the fuel being usedis unleaded.
