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.

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

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.
NOTE:o The driver's door can be unlocked by
turning the key once toward the rear.
If you wish to unlock all doors, turn
