!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.B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing 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 re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
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 or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

WARNING:
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au-
tomatically shuts off when refueling.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise the "
" light will illuminate.
o Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.

DOOR LOCKS!
B030B01NF-GATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is recorded on the num-
ber 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.
B030B01MCB040A01A-AAT
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 com-
bined 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.
KEYSB030A01A-AATFor greater convenience, the same key
operates all the locks in your Hyundai.
However, because the doors can be
locked without a key, carrying a spare key
is recommended in case you accidentally
lock one key inside the car.
