EQUIPMENT neck. However, care must be exercised when refuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or bymeans of a funnel that the fuel being used isunleaded.
The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result
in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element.Such pollution will prevent correct operation ofthe catalyst and give rise to increased operat-ing temperatures leading to the catalyst ele-ment melting and restricting the exhaust flowalong with an increase in exhaust emissionlevels.
CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to dam-
age arising from the use of incorrect fuels.
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Number
(RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle. To prevent accidental filling of the fuel tank with
leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neck alongwith a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure that onlyunleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler

WITH UNLEADED FUEL.
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM
THE USE OF LEADED FUEL.
DIESEL ENGINESDiesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct
rating to use in your Hyundai Terracan. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summeror winter fuel properly according to the followingtemperature conditions.
o Above 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully :
If the engine stops due to fuel failure, the circuits must be completely purged to permitrestarting. CAUTION: Do not let any petrol or water enter the tank.
If this happens, the tank should be com- pletely drained and the fuel lines should allbe cleaned out. This will stop the fuel pumpfrom becoming contaminated.

B020A01FC-EAT RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAIThe longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised dur-ing the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because ofmodern manufacturing techniques, rigid guide-lines regarding maximum road speeds havebecome unnecessary. However, certain pre-cautions should be observed in order to obtainthe best possible performance and useful lifefrom the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load (i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maximum engine speed should be restricted to 3000rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome run-in more quickly if the operation
speed is varied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open-ings when the engine speed is below 1500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction facingsof the brake pads and shoes to bed againstthe discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken dur- ing the running-in period. B880A01HP-EAT IMMOBILISER SYSTEM
