B010F01A-AATOperation in Foreign CountriesIf you are going to drive your Hyundai in
another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends you use gasolines treated
with detergent additives, which help pre-
vent deposit formation in the engine.
These gasolines will help the engine run
cleaner and enhance performance of the
Emission Control System.
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
B010A01MC-A B010A02MC-AAT
Use Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded
gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alco-
hol) may be used in your Hyundai. How-
ever, 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.B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system.
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.
!
WARNING:
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au-
tomatically shuts off when refueling.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks one
time, otherwise the "
" light will
illuminate.
o Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
Use of E85 fuelE85 fuel is an alternative fuel composed
of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent
gasoline, and is manufactured for use in
Flexible Fuel Vehicles. E85 is not com-
patible with your vehicle. Use of E85 may
result in poor engine performance and
damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel
system. Damage resulting from the use of
E85 is not covered under Hyundai war-
ranties.

B330A03A-AATTACHOMETERThe tachometer registers the speed of
your engine in revolutions per minute
(rpm).
CAUTION:
The engine should not be increased to
such a speed that the needle enters the
red zone on the tachometer face. This
can cause severe engine damage and
may void your warranty.
!
B300A01A-AATSPEEDOMETERYour Hyundai's speedometer is calibrated
in miles per hour (on the outer scale) and
kilometers per hour (on the inner scale).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTERB280A02TG-AATFUEL GAUGEThe needle on the gauge indicates the
approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel capacity is given in Section 9.NOTE:The "

CAUTION:
Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If
you run out of fuel, it could cause the
engine to misfire and result in excessive
loading of the catalytic converter.

TRAILER TOWINGC190A01A-AATYour Hyundai should not be used to tow
a trailer. It is designed to be compact and
light for good fuel economy, and is not
designed as a trailer-towing vehicle.
Damages or malfunctions caused by tow-
ing may not be covered by the limited
warranties applying to your Hyundai.
Damages or malfunctions that result from
towing a trailer for commercial purposes
are specifically not covered by Hyundai
limited warranties.

H010D02A-AAT3. Exhaust Emission
Control SystemThe Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performace.
H020A03A-AAT(If Installed)Hyundai vehicle is equipped with a mono-
lith type three-way catalytic converter to
reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocar-
bons and nitrogen oxides contained in
the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing
through the catalytic converter cause it to
operate at a very high temperature. The
introduction of large amounts of unburned
gasoline into the exhaust may cause the
catalytic converter to overheat and create
a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by
observing the following:
H020A01MC
Catalytic Converter
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operat-
ing condition. Extremely high cata-
lytic converter temperatures can re-
sult from improper operation of the
electrical, ignition or multiport elec-
tronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks,
or is hard to start, have your Hyundai
dealer inspect and repair the prob-
lem as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. Running out of gasoline may
cause the engine to misfire and re-
sult in damage to the catalytic con-
verter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods
longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started. This may cause
the catalytic converter to overheat
and create a fire hazard.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts, in-
cluding components found in the inte-
rior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects and reproductive harm. In addi-
tion, certain fluids contained in vehicles
and certain products of component
wear contain or emit chemicals known
to the State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.

NOTE:
It is permissible to add 3psi (21kPa) to the standard tire
pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected
soon. Tires typically loose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F (-11°C)
temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are ex-
pected, re-check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them
properly inflated.
