B010A01O-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or highermust be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gaso-line is used, it will cause the catalytic converter tobecome ineffective and the emission controlsystem to malfunction.This can also result in increased maintenanceexpense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel,the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline atservice stations can not be inserted into fuel tankopening of your Hyundai. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. Whenyou are going to use leaded gasoline, askto Hyundai dealer whether leaded gaso-line in your vehicle is available or not.
o Octane rating of leaded gasoline is same with unleaded one. B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be usedin your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-ops drive ability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels withunspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcoholsother than ethanol, should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel canreduce vehicle performance and damage com-ponents of the fuel system. CAUTION: Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-ranty may not cover damage to the fuel sys-tem and performance problems that arecaused by the use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol.
B010A01HP
B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom- mends that you use gasolines treated with deter-gent additives, which help prevent deposit for-mation in the engine. These gasolines will helpthe engine run cleaner and enhance performanceof the Emission Control System.
Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating to use in your Hyundai. If two types of diesel fuelare available, use summer or winter fuel properly
according to the following temperature condi-tions.
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 circuitsmust be completely purged to permit restarting. CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the
tank. This would make it necessary todrain it out and to bleed the lines to avoidjamming the injection pump and damag-ing the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down incidents due to freezing, paraffin oil may be addedto the fuel if the temperature drops tobelow -10°C. Never use more than 20%paraffin oil.

C010A01O-AAT
WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhau st
system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with
the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road condi- tions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
o Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steer-
ing wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel could jerk and injure your hands. Al- ways firmly hold the outer steering wheel when you are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of your vehicle’s high center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross- winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.
o Check your brake condition once you are out
of mud or water. Press the brake several times as you move slowly until your feel normal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads
can result in a severe binding condition when turning the steering wheel.
Driving on dry paved road and high- way Select 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry highway, never select the 4H or 4L(4WD). C355A03HP-GAT Full-time 4WD operation (If installed)Driving on snowy or icy roads Select the 4H or 4L in accordance with the road conditions, and then gradually depress the ac- celerator pedal for a smooth start. Driving on sandy or muddy roads Select the 4H or 4L and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accelerator pedal constant as possible, and drive at low speed. Climbing sharp grades Select the 4L to maximize use the engine torque. Descending sharp grades Select 4L, use the engine brake and descend slowly. Driving in Water

40 cmSelect the 4L mode and drive through slowly. The maximum advisable wading depth is ap- proximately 40cm (15.7 in.). Before driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly at the speed of 5 km/h (3mph) and avoid deep water. Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other vehicle parts does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature failure, and may also enter the axles, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating qualities.
