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.

6- 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
SG020B1-E
DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
The following items should be checked
on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle
is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all light-
ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer opera- tion.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the
daily operating checks indicate that
any item of equipment related to the
safety or roadworthiness of the vehicle
is not functioning correctly. G030B02A-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol engine
A multi grade oil having a specification
which meets A.P.I. specification of SG
or above is recommended. The oil vis-
cosity should be selected according to
the operating environment of the engine
by means of the table shown in the
illustration. The engine oil recommen-
dations are complete in themselves
and the use of additives is neither
required nor recommended. The use of
engine oil additives may result in invali-
dation of the vehicle warranty.
G030A01FC-EAT
ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high
or low oil level may result in irreparable
damage being sustained by the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
on a daily basis, whenever the vehicle
is refuelled or before starting a long trip,
whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an
approved grade and specification of oil
is used to avoid the possibility of seri-
ous engine damage and premature wear.
The use of "budget price" oil is a false
economy that must be avoided if the
maximum reliability and useful life is to
be obtained from the vehicle.
