Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used. This type of fuel
can reduce vehicle performance anddamage components of the fuel system.

Fuels for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
HYUNDAI recommends use of fuels
treated with detergent additives, which
help to prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These fuels will help the engines
run cleaner and increase the Emission
Control System performance.

Operation in foreign countries
Drivers of vehicles which are to be oper-
ated in foreign countries must satisfy
themselves that:
The vehicle meets all local regulations
with respect to insurance, specifica- tions etc..
The correct types and grades of fuel are available for satisfactory operation
of the vehicle. Diesel engine
A020201AUN-UK
Diesel fuel
Diesel engines must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable
standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,
heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi-
tives, these will increase wear and causedamage to the engine and fuel system.
The use of non-approved fuels and / or
fuel additives will invalidate the New
Vehicle Warranty.
Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane must be
used in HYUNDAI diesel engined vehi-
cles. If two types of diesel fuel are avail-
able, use summer or winter fuel properly
according to the following temperature
conditions.
Above -5°C(23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
Below -5°C(23°F) ... Winter type diesel
fuel.
Watch the fuel gauge very carefully : If
the engine stops due to fuel failure, the
circuits must be completely purged to
permit restarting.
CAUTION
Do not allow petrol or water to enter the fuel tank. If this happens, thetank should be completely drainedand the fuel lines must all be
cleaned out to prevent the fuel pump from becoming contaminat-ed.

Biodiesel
Commercially supplied biodiesel blends of no more than 5% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B5 biodiesel" may be used in
your vehicle if it meets EN 14214 or
equivalent specifications. (EN stands for
"European Norm"). The use of biofuels
made from rapeseed methyl ester
(RME), fatty acid methyl ester (FAME),
vegetable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. ormixing diesel with biodiesel will cause
increased wear or damage to the engine
and fuel system. Repair or replacement
of worn or damaged components due to
the use of non approved fuels will not be
covered by the manufactures warranty.A090000AEN-UK
As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly mayresult in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (higher
ground clearance, track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher centre of gravity than
other types of vehicles. In other words
they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel
drive vehicles. Avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres. Again, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.
Be sure to read the “Reducing
the risk of a rollover” driving guide-
lines, in section 5 of this manual. A030000AUN-UK
No special run-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
Whilst driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly run-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergen- cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
Don't tow a trailer/caravan during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera-tion.
