B010A02TB-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Except Europe
– Unleaded gasoline
with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Re- search Octane Number 91) or highermust be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become inef-fective and the emission control sys- tem to malfunction. This can also result in increased maintenance expense.To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the large nozzle used with leaded gaso- line at service stations can not beinserted into fuel tank opening of Hyundai vehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve- hicles are designed to use leaded gasoline. When you are going touse leaded gasoline, ask to Hyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle is avail-able or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso-
line is same with unleaded one.
For Europe
– For the optimal vehicle
performance, we recommend you touse unleaded gasoline with an octanerating of RON (Research Octane Num- ber) 95 /AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.You may use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of RON 91~94/AKI 87~90 but it may result in slight performancereduction of the vehicle. B010A01TB Diesel fuel Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel that complies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for "EuropeanNorm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi- tives, as this will increase wear andcause damage to the engine and fuel system. The use of non-approved fuels and / orfuel additives will result in a limitation of your warranty rights. Diesel fuel of above cetane 52 is usedin Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to thefollowing 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 throughfuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting.

other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway.The brake warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluidconforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifi- cations should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the carshould be immediately and carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspec- tion. If further trouble is experienced,the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing service.Your Hyundai is equipped with dual- diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheelseven if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with onlyhalf of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional enginebraking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

Parking Brake/Brake
Fluid Level WarningLight
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light should come on when the parking brake is applied and the igni- tion switch is turned to "ON" or"START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the park- ing brake is released.If the parking brake is not applied, the warning light should come on when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or"START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on at any WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either thebrake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury ordeath.

B260G01A-AAT Oil Pressure Warning Light
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is run- ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normaloperation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine isrunning, there may be a serious malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so,turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level andstart the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. Inany instance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by anauthorized Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 17
C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires orto install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous prac-tices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icyroads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance be- tween the vehicle in front and yourvehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greaterdriving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all coun- tries. Check the country laws before fitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter.
C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyun-dai dealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If youaren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.

F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventila-
tion Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Partic-ular attention should be paid to exam- ine those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the ex-haust manifold.Inspect the hose routing to assurethat the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidenceof deterioration or damage. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hosesand connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. F060N01X-GAT
