FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Petrol Engines
THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OP-
ERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL.
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT
FROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will
result in irreversible pollution of the
catalyst element. Such pollution will
prevent correct operation of the cata-
lyst and give rise to increased operating
temperatures leading to the catalyst
element melting and restricting the ex-
haust flow along with an increase in
exhaust emission levels.
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane
Number (RON) of 91 or higher must be
used in this vehicle.
To prevent accidental filling of the fuel
tank with leaded fuel, a small diameter
filler neck along with a restrictor flap are
fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel
pump nozzles may enter the filler neck.
However, care must be exercised when
filling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or
by means of a funnel that the fuel being
used is unleaded. HTB187
!
CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not extend
to damage arising from the use of
incorrect fuels.
Diesel Engines
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 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
! Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops due to fuel
failure, the circuits must be completely
purged to permit restarting.
CAUTION:
Do not let any petrol or water enter
the tank. If this happens, the tank
should be completely drained and
the fuel lines should all be cleaned
out. This will stop the fuel pump
from becoming contaminated.
Overseas Operation:
When the vehicle is to be operated
overseas, the vehicle operator should
establish that a suitable fuel for satis-
factory operation of the vehicle is avail-
able. SB010E1-E
FUELS FOR CLEANER AIR
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use fuels treated
with detergent additives, which help to
prevent deposit formation in the engine.
These fuels will help the engines run
cleaner and the Emission Control Sys-
tem performance.

!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure light illuminates
when the engine is running, an in-
sufficient oil pressure level for con-
tinued safe operation of the engine
exists. Continued operation of the
engine in this condition may result
in serious engine damage.
Under normal circumstances, the
light will illuminate when the igni-
tion is turned "on" and will be extin-
guished when the engine is started.
If the oil pressure warning light illu-
minates whilst the engine is run-
ning, stop the engine immediately
and check the engine oil level. If the
level is insufficient, add the required amount of oil as indicated by the
engine oil dipstick. If the light fails to
extinguish when the engine is re-
started, do not continue to operate
the vehicle.
If the oil pressure light illuminates
during normal operation and the
cause is not an insufficient oil level,

If the warning light fails to extinguish or
illuminates at any other time, the ve-
hicle must be brought to rest in a safe
location and the level of brake fluid in
the reservoir checked. If the fluid level
is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT 3
or DOT 4 specifications should be added.
If, after correcting the brake fluid level,
the warning light continues to be illumi-
nated, the advice of the nearest Hyundai
dealer must be sought before the ve-
hicle is driven again.
Your Hyundai is equipped with a diago-
nally split dual braking system which
will ensure that in the event of one of the
brake circuits becoming defective, ap-
proximately fifty per cent of the normal
braking performance will be available.
If failure of one of the circuits occurs,
the required amount of pedal effort,
pedal travel and stopping distance will
be increased. Use of the gearbox is
