FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
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.)
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded
gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol)
may be used in your Hyundai. However, 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.
B010A02NF-AATUse Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels
containing 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 reduce
vehicle performance and produce vapor
lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alcohol)
should not be used in your Hyundai. This
type of fuel can reduce vehicle
performance and damage components of
the fuel system.

WARNING:
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-

ILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCHWhenever either front door is opened, the
ignition switch will be illuminated for your
convenience, provided the ignition switch
is not in the "ON" position.
The light will go off approximately 10
seconds after closing the door or when the
ignition switch is turned on.
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Before you drive away (especially if
there are children in the car), be sure
that all the doors are securely closed
and locked so that the doors cannot
be opened from the inside. This helps
ensure that the doors will not be
opened accidentally. Also, when
combined with the proper use of seat
belts, locking the doors helps keep
occupants from being ejected from
the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
B030B01NF-GATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is attached on the number
tag that came with the keys to your Hyundai.
This key number tag should not be left with
the keys but kept in a safe place, not in the
vehicle. The key number should also be
recorded in a place where it can be found
in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you should
lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai
dealer can make new keys if you can
supply the key number.
