from jerry cans or by means of a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded.The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst ele- ment. Such pollution will prevent correct op- eration of the catalyst and give rise to in- creased operating temperatures leading to the catalyst element melting and restricting the exhaust flow along with an increase in exhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrect fuels. Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating to use 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 through fuel failure, thecircuits must be completely purged to permit restarting.

UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Num-ber (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle. To prevent accidental charging of the fueltank 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 refuelling the vehicle tank SB010E1-A GASOLINES FOR CLEANER AIRTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolines treated with detergent additives, which help to pre- vent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engines run cleaner and the Emission Control System performance.
CAUTION:Do not let any gasoline or water enter thetank. 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 contami- nated. Overseas Operation: When the vehicle is to be operated overseas, the vehicle operator should establish that a suitable fuel for satisfactory operation of the vehicle is available.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13

TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai Approved towing attachment is used to ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and con- structed to ensure maximum towing perfor- mance and ease of fitment. A range of acces- sories including electrical kits are available through the Hyundai dealer network. It is of the utmost importance that those areas of the vehicle which are subjected to greater stress during towing are maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operating checks relating to engine oil, transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety. The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist inachieving an inherently stable outfit but whilst the use of such equipment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be maintained in ac- cordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. Special attention should be paid to tyres which deteriorate through time and
WARNING: It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for towing until the first 1,000 miles of Running in has been completed. All Hyundai MATRIX models are suited to tow- ing trailers and caravans up to the limits indicated on page 2-14. MATRIX models fitted with automatic transaxle have a transaxle oil cooler and further transaxle cooling should not be required.

exposure rather than as a result of the dis- tances towed. The inside walls of the tyres should be inspected along with the outside walls for cracking and damage. The trailer wheel nut torque must be checked on a regular basis, preferably before each towing session. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mecha- nism must be maintained in good working order. The trailer break away cable or chain should be inspected for damage and should be attached to the vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to the vehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms of acceleration, brak- ing and handling due to the increased loads placed upon the vehicle. The driver should anticipate the change in characteristics and adjust the driving style in keeping with these changes. Care should be exercised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncontrollable by reducing corner- ing speeds and allowing increased braking distances. The driver should exercise care to ensure that when pulling away from rest particularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to excessive slippage which will reduce the useful life of this component. Use of the "Overdrive Off" "2" and "L" positions when driving vehicles with automatic transmission
