2FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010A02A-EAT Petrol Engines THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OP- ERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL.SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL. However, care must be exercised when filling the vehicle tank from jerry cans orby means of a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded. The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle willresult in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element. Such pollution will prevent correct operation of the cata-lyst and give rise to increased operating temperatures leading to the catalyst element melting and restricting the ex-haust flow along with an increase in exhaust emission levels.
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Number (RON) of 91 or higher must beused in this vehicle. To prevent accidental filling of the fuel tank with leaded fuel, a small diameterfiller neck along with a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler neck.
!
CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrect fuels.
! Diesel Engines Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating to use in your HyundaiAccent. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following tem-perature 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 due to fuel failure, the circuits must be completelypurged to permit restarting.
CAUTION:
Do not let any petrol or water enterthe tank. If this happens, the tankshould be completely drained and the fuel lines should all be cleaned out. This will stop the fuel pumpfrom becoming contaminated.

ZB010C1-E "Alternative fuels" Fuels which contain methanol or etha- nol must not be used. ZB010D1-E Operation in Foreign Countries Drivers of vehicles which are to be operated in foreign countries must sat-isfy themselves that:
o The vehicle meets all local regula-
tions with respect to insurance, speci- fications etc..
o The correct types and grades of fuel are available for satisfactory opera-tion of the vehicle.
BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLE
YB020A1-E
o Ensure that all windows, mirrors and

4RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B020A01FC-EAT (Petrol Engine) The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the careexercised during the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manu- facturing techniques, rigid guidelinesregarding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, cer- tain precautions should be observed inorder to obtain the best possible perfor- mance and useful life from the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load
(i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maxi- mum engine speed should be re- stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed op- eration. The internal components ofthe engine will become runin morequickly if the operation speed is var- ied during the running-in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoid largethrottle openings when the engine speed is below 1,500 rpm. 5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maxi-
mum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1,000miles of motorway driving to allowthe friction facings of the brake pads and shoes to bed against the discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be under- taken during the running-in period.

However, cer-tain precautions should be observed in order to obtain the best possible perfor- mance and useful life from the vehicle.AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE
YB020B1-E
o Ensure that all occupants fasten and
correctly adjust seat belts.
o Ensure that seat and headrestraint
positions are adjusted for optimum safety, control and comfort.
o Adjust interior and exterior rear view
mirrors.
o Verify correct operation of lamps,
horn and other electrical equipment.
o Ensure that warning lamps illumi- nate when ignition is turned on.
NOTE: Fluid levels such as engine oil, en- gine coolant, brake and windscreen washer fluid should be checked daily or at each refuelling, whichever oc-curs sooner.
