B010A03O-EAT PETROL ENGINES THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OP- ERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL.SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL. Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Number (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle.To prevent accidental charging of the fuel tank with leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neck along with arestrictor flap are fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler neck. However, care must be exercised whenrefuelling the vehicle tank from jerrycans or by 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 operat- ing temperatures leading to the cata- lyst element melting and restricting theexhaust flow along with an increase in exhaust emission levels.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
!
CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use ofincorrect fuels. DIESEL ENGINES Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of dieselfuel are available, use summer or win- ter fuel properly according to the fol- lowing 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 throughfuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting.
CAUTION:
Do not let any petrol or water enter the tank. This would make it neces-sary to drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid siezing the injection pump and damaging the engine.

SB2100I-EDoor Ajar Warning Light
The door ajar warning light indicates that a door is not correctly closed.Ensure that the light is extinguished prior to driving the vehicle.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose, broken, or missing whilst thevehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunction, engine could overheat because this belt also drivesthe water pump.! SB210P1-E
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuelquantity is approximately 9 litres and that the vehicle should be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extendedperiod with the low fuel warning light illuminated there exists a possibility that misfiring due to fuel shortage mayoccur. This situation must be avoided to prevent damage to the catalyst oc- curring.
SB210M1-E Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should illuminate when the ignitionswitch is turned to the "ON" position and should be extinguished when the engine is started. If the light fails toilluminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or fails to extinguish after starting the engine, the nearest Hyundaiauthorised repairer should be contacted. If the light illuminates whilst the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle assoon as it is safe to do so and check the condition of the generator drive belt. If the belt is in place and the tension issatisfactory, the advice of a Hyundai authorised repairer should be sought.
SB210J1-E High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light will illumi- nate whenever the headlights are switched to high beam of flash position.
B260B01FC-EAT
Hatchback Door Open Warning
Light
The hatchback door open warning light indicates when hatchback door open isopen or is not fully closed. Ensure that the light has extinguished prior to driv- ing the vehicle.
SB210K1-E Oil Pressure Warning Light CAUTION:
If the oil pressure light illuminates when the engine is running, an in- sufficient oil pressure level for con- tinued safe operation of the engine exists. Continued operation of the engine in this condition may result in serious engine damage.

B270B02O-EAT PARKING START WARNING SOUND (Not all models) If the vehicle is driven at 6mph(10km/h) for more than 2~3 seconds, the warning chime will sound continuously when theparking brake engaged.
B900A01A-EAT ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND (Not all models) The acoustic warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the door in driver side is open. This prevents thebattery from discharging when the car is left with the tail lights on. The chime sounds until the tail lights are turned off.
B260S01B-GAT
Diesel Pre-heat Indicator Light(Diesel Engine)
The indicator light illuminates amber when the ignition switch is placed at the "ON" position. The engine can be startedafter the pre-heat indicator light goes off. The illuminating time varies with the water temperature, air temperature andbattery condition. NOTE: If the engine were not started 10 seconds after the preheating is com- pleted, turn the ignition key oncemore to the "LOCK" position, and then to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again.
B265A01FC-GAT Fuel Filter Warning Light (Diesel Engine)
This light illuminates when the engine has started and goes off after a fewseconds. If it lights up whilst the engine is running, it indicates that water has accumulated inside the fuel filter. If thishappens, remove the water from the fuel filter. (Refer to "6-32 page")

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
19
o Remember, your car does not re- quire extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightlylonger warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the engine bucking. If this happens to you, shift to a lower gear.Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recom-mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-ated by the engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.SMOOTH CORNERING
SC160A1-F Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tyre wear will be held to a minimum.WINTER MOTORING
SC170A1-E The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating de-mands. Therefore, the following sug- gestions will assist in maintaining peak performance and reliability during theseperiods: ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performance along with the alternator performance and drive belt condition should be checkedprior to the onset of winter.

YC200E2-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar ball andsafety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 60 MPH)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel
than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi- ciency and electrical charging per- formance, do not use fifth gear(manual transaxle) or overdrive (au- tomatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tyres on the trailer and your vehicle. Low tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tyre. 7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your vehicle and
trailer, especially on a hill, be sure tofollow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheels into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In ad- dition, place wheel chocks at eachof the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time. 10. During your trip, check occasionally
to be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceler-
ation or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane
changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, re-sulting in reduced braking efficien- cy.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When ascending a long grade, down-shift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or over-heating.
