CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTHowever, care must be exercised when re- fuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or bymeans of a funnel that the fuel being used isunleaded. 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 tothe catalyst element melting and restrictingthe exhaust flow along with an increase inexhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrectfuels. DIESEL ENGINES Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in diesel engined Hyundai vehicle. If two types of dieselfuel are available, use summer or winter fuelproperly according to the following tempera-ture 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, the circuits must be completely purged to permitrestarting.

B010A03O-EAT PETROL ENGINES THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OPER-ATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL.SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROMTHE USE OF LEADED FUEL.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Num- ber (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in thisvehicle.To prevent accidental charging of the fueltank with leaded fuel, a small diameter fillerneck along with a restrictor flap are fitted toensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzlesmay enter the filler neck. CAUTION: Do not let any petrol or water enter the tank. If this happens, the tank should becompletely drained and the fuel linesshould all be cleaned out. This will stopthe fuel pump from becoming contami-nated.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTcircuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-mance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal traveland stopping distance will be increased. Useof the gearbox is recommended to assist inbringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle mustnot be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repaired and isfunctioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.Power for the servo is derived from the engineand therefore, in the event of the enginestopping or the vehicle being towed, pedalefforts will be substantially increased.

The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to giveother than an approximate indication ofthe fuel level and is unsuitable for thepurposes of calculating fuel consumptionfigures.SB215B1-E ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE The engine coolant temperature gauge indi- cates the engine coolant temperature and will, under normal circumstances, give an indica-tion in the "Normal" or centre portion of thescale. Should the indication move into theupper or "Hot" portion of the scale, engineoverheating is indicated. Under these circum-stances, the vehicle should be brought to restas soon as is safe to do so and the engineturned off. Once the engine has cooled some-what, the coolant level and the condition ofthe generator/water pump drive belt should bechecked.

WARNING: The engine cooling system is pressurized and removal of the radiator cap when theengine is hot may cause hot water andsteam to be ejected from the radiator re-sulting in burns and scalding. The radiatorcap must only be removed when the en-gine has cooled. Do not add cold water toa hot engine to avoid the possibility ofengine damage. The use of plain water inthe cooling system is not recommendedsince the aluminium components of thecooling system require the use of a corro-sion inhibitor found in the recommendedEthylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions.
