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.

Driver's Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presenceare the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and printed on thepassenger's side front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the B240A01TB-GAT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (If Installed)
o Do not attempt to service or repair
the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies,and failure to heed the warningsto not strike, modify, inspect, re- place, service or repair the pre- tensioner seat belt assembliesmay lead to improper operation or inadvertent activation and se- rious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor ve-hicle.
front passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal im-pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and be supplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seatbelt systems and is not a substi- tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all timeswhile the vehicle is in motion. In addition, the airbags deploy only in certain frontal impact condi-tions severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.

1- 36 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.
B240B01FC-GAT SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
B240B02L
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which the SRI should go out. The airbag modules are located both in the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above theglove box. When the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy theairbags.

B260B01S-GAT
SRS (Airbag) Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If Installed)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, after which it will go out. This light also comes on when the SRS is not working properly. If the SRI doesnot come on, or continuously remains on after flashing for about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition key to the"ON" position or started the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS inspected by an authorizedHyundai Dealer. B260P02Y-GAT
ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System will come on and then go off in a fewseconds. 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 problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, butwithout the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. B260C01A-AAT
O/D OFF Indicator (Automatic transaxleonly) (If Installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the overdrive off indicator will go out. This amber indicator will be illumi-nated when the overdrive switch is turned off. B260D01A-AAT Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi-cated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does notilluminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs.
! CAUTION:
If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/ Brake fluid level warning lights re-main "ON" or come on while driv- ing, there may be a problem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Dis-tribution). If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked byyour Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
