B010A02A-GAT Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number91) or higher must be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic converter tobecome ineffective and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result in increased main-tenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gasoline at servicestations can not be inserted into the fuel tank opening of Hyundai vehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hicles are designed to use leaded gasoline. When you are going touse leaded gasoline, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle is avail-able or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso-
line is same with unleaded one.
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops drive ability problems, the use of 100% un-leaded gasoline is recommended. Fu- els with unspecified quantities of alco- hol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in yourHyundai. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.
!
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Lim- ited Warranty may not cover dam-age to the fuel system and perfor- mance problems that are caused by the use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol.

B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you usegasolines treated with detergent addi- tives, which help prevent deposit for- mation in the engine. These gasolineswill help the engine run cleaner and the Emission Control System performance. B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is
available. B020A01S-GAT During the First 2,000 Km (1,200 Miles) No formal "break-in" procedure is re- quired with your new Hyundai. How-ever, you can contribute to the eco- nomical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observing the followingrecommendations during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles).
o Don't drive faster than 88 km/h (55
mph).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quickly or depress the accel-erator pedal fully.
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to avoid hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't drive so slowly in too high a gear that the engine "bucks":shift to a lower gear). o Whether going fast or slow, vary your
speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes for a catalytic converterequipped engine.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-tion.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
H020A01A-AAT All Hyundai vehicles are equipped
with a monolith type three-way cata- lytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro-gen oxides contained in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter cause it tooperate at a very high temperature. The introduction of large amounts of unburned gasoline into the exhaustmay cause the catalytic converter to overheat and create a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by observ-ing the following: Catalytic Converter
H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
The Exhaust Emission Control Sys-tem is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining good vehicle performance. WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating condition. Extremely high catalytic converter tempera-tures can result from improper operation of the electrical, igni- tion or multiport electronic fuelinjection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, have your Hyundai dealer inspect and repair the problem as soon aspossible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. Running out of gaso-line may cause the engine to misfire and result in damage to the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri-
ods longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or pulled to get started.This may cause the catalyticconverter to overheat and cre- ate a fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the exhaust system while the cata-lytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least one hour before touching the cata-lytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source ofassistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper, leaves or rags.These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.
