B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alco-hol) 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. B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolinestreated with detergent additives, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help theengine run cleaner and enhance perfor- mance of the Emission Control Sys- tem.
B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alco- hol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reduce vehicleperformance and damage components of the fuel system. CAUTION:
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuel system and performance problems that are caused by the useof methanol or fuels containing methanol.
! B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If 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 available. B020A01S-GAT During the First 2,000 Km (1,200 Miles) (Gasoline Engine) No formal "break-in" procedure is re- quired with your new Hyundai. How-ever, you can contribute to the eco- nomical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observing the following rec-ommendations during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles).
o Don't drive faster than 88 km/h (55
mph).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) be- tween 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start, depress the accelerator pedalfully.
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to avoid hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words,
don't drive so slowly in too high a gear that the engine "bucks": shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your
speed from time to time.

B020B01FC-GAT During the First 1,000 Km (600 Miles) (Diesel Engine) No formal "break-in" procedure is re- quired with your new Hyundai. How- ever, you can contribute to the eco- nomical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observing the following rec- ommendations during the first 1,000km (600 miles).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) within 3,000 rpm.
o While driving, keep under three quar- ters of maximum speed.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't
start, depress the accelerator pedal fully.
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try
to avoid hard stops. B030A01A-AAT For greater convenience, the same key operates all the locks in your Hyundai. However, because the doors can be locked without a key, carrying a sparekey is recommended in case you acci- dentally lock one key inside the car.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words,
don't drive so slowly in too-high a gear that the engine "bucks": shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,000 km (600 miles) of operation.
OMC025001
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.

Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid Level Warning LightB260G01A-AATLow Oil Pressure Warning Light
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, seri- ous engine damage may result. Theoil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pres- sure. In normal operation, it shouldcome on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the en- gine is started. If the oil pressurewarning light stays on while the en- gine is running, there may be a seri- ous 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 and start the engine again. If the light stays on with theengine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engineis running, the engine should be checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again. WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Drivingyour car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hy- draulic system is dangerous, andcould result in a serious injury or death.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warn- ing light should come on when theparking brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the lightshould go out when the parking brake is released. If the parking brake is not applied, thewarning light should come on when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the enginestarts. If the light comes on at any other time,you should slow the vehicle and bring itto a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warn- ing light indicates that the brake fluidlevel in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications shouldbe added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to aHyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken toa dealer by a professional towing ser- vice or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems shouldfail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are requiredto stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only half of the brake system working. If thebrakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak- ing and stop the car as soon as it is safeto do so.

B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot whenyou first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windowsclosed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear.This increases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility ofthe engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioningonce every month for a few min- utes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak oper- ating condition.

7OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE
OMC035013 NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the lever
in neutral for at least 3 seconds after your car is completelystopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedalback down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
C070A01MC-GAT Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has five forward gears and one reverse gear. This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fullysynchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accomplished.When shifting into reverse gear, pull the mis-shift prevention tab and shift into reverse gear position.
CAUTION:
o Do not downshift more than 2 gears or downshift the gear when the engine is running at high speed (5,000 RPM or higher). Such down-shifting may damage the engine.
o When downshifting from fifth gear
to fourth gear, caution should betaken not to inadvertently press the gear lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is en-gaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to the point that the ta- chometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of the enginemay possibly cause engine dam- age.
