B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine developsdriveability 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 whether leaded gasoline in your vehicleis 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 dieselfuel 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 through fuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting.
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Oc- tane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher must be used inHyundai 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 increased maintenance expense. To avoid acci-dental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline at service 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 make it necessary to drain it out and tobleed the lines to avoid jamming the 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.

B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolines treated with detergent addi-tives, which help prevent deposit for- mation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and theEmission Control System performance.
B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in yourHyundai. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Lim-ited Warranty may not cover dam- age to the fuel system and perfor- mance problems that are caused by the use of methanol or fuels con- taining methanol.
! 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
registration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
B020A01S-GAT BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI During the First 2,000 Km (1,200 Miles)(Gasoline Engine) No formal "break-in" procedure is re- quired with your new Hyundai. How-ever, you can contribute to the eco- nomical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observing the followingrecommendations 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 perminute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start, depress the accelerator pedalfully.
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to avoid hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't drive so slowly in toohigh a gear that the engine "bucks": shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-tion.

4- 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
trol chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the under- side of the car. Start by rinsing the carto remove dust and loose dirt. In win- ter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughlyclean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumulations of mud or corrosivematerials. Use a good quality car-wash- ing solution and follow the manufacturer's directions on the pack-age. These are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong household detergents,gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may dam- age the finish.Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots,dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiffbrush or soapy steel-wool scouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use aclean sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protectthe bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi- num is subject to corrosion, be sure togive aluminum alloy wheels special attention in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thor-oughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thor- oughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will result. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it neces- sary to rinse each section immediatelyafter washing to avoid streaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying the car is to remove water from the car so it will dry withoutwater spots. Don't rub, this can dam- age the finish.
If you find any nicks or scratches inthe paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corrosion. To protectthe paintwork of the car against corro- sion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special at-tention to the removal of salt, mud and other substances on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Makesure that the outlets and the underside of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulationof tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when not removed immediately. If water alone isnot strong enough to remove the accu- mulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surfaceafter washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.

E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads ona clean surface but spreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to preserve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery elec-
trolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off im- mediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of softplastic and the surface can be dam- aged if mistreated. Do not use abra-sive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. For example, if youhave your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if thecar is going to be placed in a high- temperature paint booth. E040A01A-AAT CLEANING THE INTERIOR To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery To clean the vinyl upholstery, first re- move loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply a solution of mildsoap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the surface to loosen the dirt,then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not re- moved, repeat this procedure until theupholstery is clean. Do not use gaso- line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong cleaners.
E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These candamage the finish of the car. To re- move road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth or commercially avail-able bug and tar remover. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaningpolish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combi- nation cleaner and wax. Use a goodquality commercial product and follow the manufacturer's directions on the container. Polish and wax the brighttrim pieces as well as the paint.
E040B01A-AAT To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If installed) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather, causing damage. Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned when necessary. Washing leather thoroughly with soap and water
