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.
Unleaded petrol with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Num- ber 91) or higher must be used inyour Hyundai. If leaded petrol is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become ineffec-tive and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result in increased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the larger nozzle used with leadedpetrol at service stations cannot be inserted into the fuel tank opening of your Hyundai.
B010A01A-DAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Petrol
B010A02TB B010E01A-DAT Petrol for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you usepetrol treated with detergent additives, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. This petrol will help theengine run cleaner and the Emission Control System performance.
B010D01A-DAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reducevehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.

Maintenance of Seat Belts When cleaning the seat belts, as recommended, avoid getting solutions into the buckle where they may attack the lubricant or cause corrosion. Donot attempt to bleach or re-dye belts, as this may affect the webbing strength. NOTE: Do not attempt any form of modifi- cations or repairs to seat belt com- ponents. If the retractor or othercomponents do not operate cor- rectly, call an authorised Hyundai Dealer, who will take the necessarycorrective action. Your authorised dealer will inspect all seat belt com- ponents at regular intervals andadvise if replacement is required. Between these inspections you should make regular checks to en-sure that foreign objects are not preventing complete buckle en- gagement. B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear ordamage of any kind. Parts of the sys- tem that are damaged should be re- placed as soon as possible. B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
