1- 2 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
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.

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.
