B010A01O-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gaso- line is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become ineffective and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result in increased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline at service stations can not be inserted into fuel tank opening of Hyundai vehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. Whenyou are going to use leaded gasoline, ask to 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 used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel- ops drive ability problems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels with unspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other 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 can reduce 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 are caused by the use of methanol or fuels con- taining methanol.
B010A01HP
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 help the engine run cleaner and enhance performance of the Emission Control System.
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 winter fuel properly according to the following 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 completely purged to permit restarting. CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the
tank. This would make it necessary todrain it out and to bleed 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, paraffin oil may be added to the fuel if the temperature drops to below -10°C. Never use more than 20% paraffin oil.

1- 2 B030A01A-AAT KEYS
B030B01HP
B030B01A-AAT Record Your Key Number
B030A01HP
A code number is stamped on the number plate that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This key number plate should not be left with the keys but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The key number should also be recorded in a place where it can be found in an emergency. If you need additional keys, or if you should lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys if you can supply the key num- ber.
For greater convenience, the same key operates all the locks in your Hyundai. However, because the doors can be locked without a key, carrying a spare key is recommended in case you acci- dentally lock one key inside the car.
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. B020A01S-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 contribute to the economical operation and durability of your Hyundai 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 2,000 rpmand 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start, de-
press the accelerator pedal fully.
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 too high 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 for a catalytic converter equipped engine.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.

When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the key is turned to the "ON" position, this indicates that there may be a prob- lem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, but with- out the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. WARNING: If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on while driving, there may be a prob-
lem with E.B.D. (Electronic Brake Force Dis- tribution). If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. B260F01A-AAT
High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on when- ever the headlights are switched to the high beam or flash position.
B260D01A-AAT Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrument panel show the direction indicated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be con- sulted for repairs. B260G01A-AAT
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION: If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any in- stance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.B260C01A-AAT O/D OFF Indicator

B260J01S-GAT Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition is turned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunction in the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engine and check under the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt. And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer. CAUTION: If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or mission while the vehicle is driv- ing, there may be a serious malfunction, en- gine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.
B260Q01HP-DAT Cruise Indicator Light (Gasoline Engine only) (If installed)
The cruise indicator light in the instrument cluster is illuminated only when the vehicle cruising speed has been set using the control switch on the steering wheel. The indicator light does not illuminate when the main cruise control switch is activated. Information on the use of cruise control may be found on page 1-64.
The brake fluid level warning light indicates thatthe brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing service or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal braking systems. This means you still have brak- ing on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only half of the brake system work- ing. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

(Refer to "Do-lt-Yourself Maintenance") B265B01HP-GAT Brake Vacuum Warning Light(Diesel)
WARNING: If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in serious injury or death. The brake vacuum warning light should come on when the vacuum level in brake booster descends to about 275 mmHg or below. The brake system is designed to stop the vehicle with reserve assist if brake pedal is held down. This reserve is greatly reduced each time you release the brake. Without vacuum assist your vehicle can still be stopped by pushing much harder on brake pedal, however the stopping distance may be much longer. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway.Water temperature

It displays 16 azimuths according to the vehicle driving direction and the angle of one graduation is 22.5°.
NOTE: If new vehicle is first driven or if the battery has been disconnected, correct the azimuth indicator before driving. Correcting azimuth indicator This is need to correct the error between a current azimuth of terrestrial magnetism sensor and the displayed azimuth in the vehicle position. How to correct azimuth indicator
1. If you push the "ADJ" switch and hold for less
than 3 sec, the azimuth indicator will start to blink.
2. Slowly rotate the vehicle one turn within 128
sec. B990D01HP-GAT ALTIMETER
B990C02HP 3. After the rotation is finished, the azimuth
compass indicator will stop blinking and now correcting error is made.
NOTE: It is normal if the azimuth is displayed abnor- mally in specific places(tunnel, parking lot in building, basement garage, area in the vicin- ity of a transformer station, etc.). The azimuth is displayed normally after escaping those places. Altimeter is operated by atmospheric pressure. The air pressure variation is converted to the altitude on the basis of the sea level(0m, it is equal to 1013.25hpa) by the 50m. The measurement range is 0~2,800m. And when the altitude is under 50m, it is displayed to 0m. B990D01HP
Altitude Correction Displayed altitude could vary even at same place because of air pressure variation at sea level(0m point). So you can correct this display error in ±300m range by pushing " (up)", " (down)" as listed in following table.

B990E01HP-GAT RELATIVE ALTIMETER Relative altimeter is used when you want to know the altitude of the specific location. And it dis- plays by comparing the altitude of the specific location with the current altitude which the ve- hicle is located in. When the "MODE" switch is pressed for less than 2 sec, the relative altimeter mode is se- lected. B990E01HP

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 4 C070A02HP-GAT OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION Your Hyundai's manual transmission has a con- ventional shift pattern. This shift pattern is im- printed on the shift knob. The transmission is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished. NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever in
neutral for at least 3 seconds after yourcar is completely stopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif- ficult until the transmission lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harm- ful to the transmission.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R(Reverse), put the
