Unleaded petrol with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Num-ber 91) or higher must be used in your Hyundai. If leaded petrol is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become ineffec- tive and the emission control system tomalfunction. This can also result in increased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel,the larger nozzle used with leaded petrol at service stations cannot be inserted into the fuel tank opening of your Hyundai.
B010A02CM-DAT Use Unleaded Petrol
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
!
Use Diesel Diesel fuel Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel that complies with EN 590 or comparablestandard. (EN stands for "European Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi-tives, as this will increase wear and cause damage to the engine and fuel system. The use of non-approved fuelsand / or fuel additives will result in a limitation of your warranty rights. Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is thecorrect rating to use in your Hyundai. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properlyaccording to the following temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops through fuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting. CAUTION:
o Do not let any petrol or water enter the tank. This would make it nec- essary to drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid jamming theinjection pump and damaging the engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down
incidents due to freezing, paraffinoil may be added to the fuel if the temperature drops to below -10°C.Never use more than 20% paraffin oil.
Biodiesel Commercially supplied biodiesel blends of no more than 5% biodiesel, com- monly known as "B5 biodiesel" may be used in your vehicle if it meets EN14214 or equivalent specifications. (EN stands for "European Norm"). The use of biofuels made from rapeseed methylester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel withbiodiesel will cause increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. Care should be taken to avoid con-tamination of the webbing with pol- ishes, oils and chemicals, and par- ticularly battery acid. Cleaning maysafely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be re- placed if webbing becomes frayed,contaminated or damaged. It is es- sential to replace the entire assem- bly after it has been worn in a severeimpact even if damage to the assem- bly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Eachbelt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carriedon the occupant's lap.
WARNING:
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting de-vices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. B150B01A-DAT Maintenance of Seat Belts When cleaning the seat belts, as rec- ommended, avoid getting solutions intothe buckle where they may attack the lubricant or cause corrosion. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye belts, asthis may affect the webbing strength. NOTE: Do not attempt any form of modifica- tions or repairs to seat belt compo- nents. If the retractor or other com- ponents do not operate correctly,call an authorised Hyundai Dealer, who will take the necessary correc- tive action. Your authorised dealerwill inspect all seat belt components at regular intervals and advise if re- placement is required. Between theseinspections you should make regu- lar checks to ensure that foreign objects are not preventing completebuckle engagement.
B160B01A-AAT Periodic Inspection It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected periodically for wear or dam-age of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged should be replaced as soon as possible. B160C01A-AAT Keep Belts Clean and Dry Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts become dirty, they can becleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong detergents or abrasives should not beused because they may damage and weaken the fabric. B160D01A-AAT When To Replace Seat Belts The entire seat belt assembly or as- semblies should be replaced if the ve- hicle has been involved in an accident. This should be done even if no damageis visible. Additional questions con- cerning seat belt operation should be directed to your Hyundai Dealer.
