B010A01MC-A B010A02MC-AAT
Use Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded
gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alco-
hol) may be used in your Hyundai. How-
ever, if your engine develops driveability
problems, the use of 100% unleaded
gasoline is recommended. Fuels with
unspecified quantities of alcohol, or
alcohols other than ethanol, should not
be used.B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your
Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system.
CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty may not cover damage to the fuel
system and any performance problems
that are caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

B290A02A-AATENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE (If Installed)
WARNING:Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. The engine coolant is un-
der pressure and could erupt and cause
severe burns. Wait until the engine is
cool before removing the radiator cap.
B290A02MC
The needle on the engine coolant tem-
perature gauge should stay in the normal
range. The normal range is approximately
in the middle between "H" and "C". If it
moves across the dial to "H" (Hot), pull
over and stop as soon as possible and
turn off the engine. Then open the hood
and, after the engine has cooled, check
the coolant level and the water pump
drive belt. If you suspect cooling system
trouble, have your cooling system
checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as
possible.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTERB280A01TG-AATFUEL GAUGEThe needle on the gauge indicates the
approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.

TRAILER TOWINGC190A01A-AATYour Hyundai should not be used to tow
a trailer. It is designed to be compact and
light for good fuel economy, and is not
designed as a trailer-towing vehicle.
Damages or malfunctions caused by tow-
ing may not be covered by the limited
warranties applying to your Hyundai.
Damages or malfunctions that result from
towing a trailer for commercial purposes
are specifically not covered by Hyundai
limited warranties.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
!
!
H020A01A-AATAll Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a
monolith type three-way catalytic con-
verter to reduce the carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides con-
tained in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases
passing through the catalytic converter
cause it to operate at a very high tem-
perature. The introduction of large
amounts of unburned gasoline into the
exhaust may cause the catalytic converter
to overheat and create a fire hazard. This
risk may be reduced by observing the
following:WARNING:
o Do not touch the catalytic converter
or any other part of the exhaust sys-
tem while the catalytic converter is
hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at
least one hour before touching the
catalytic converter or any other part
of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer
is your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any
combustible material such as grass,
paper, leaves or rags. These materi-
als might contact the hot catalytic
converter and a fire might result.
H020A01MC
Catalytic Converter
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operat-
ing condition. Extremely high cata-
lytic converter temperatures can re-
sult from improper operation of the
electrical, ignition or multiport elec-
tronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks,
or is hard to start, have your Hyundai
dealer inspect and repair the prob-
lem as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. Running out of gasoline may
cause the engine to misfire and re-
sult in damage to the catalytic con-
verter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods
longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started. This may cause
the catalytic converter to overheat
and create a fire hazard.
