B010A01A-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or highermust be used in Hyundai vehicle. If leaded gaso-line is used, it will cause the catalytic converter tobecome ineffective and the emission controlsystem to malfunction.This can also result in increased maintenanceexpense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel,the larger nozzle used with leaded gasoline atservice stations can not be inserted into fuel tankopening of Hyundai vehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai vehicles are
designed to use leaded gasoline. Whenyou are going to use leaded gasoline, askto Hyundai dealer whether leaded gaso-line in your vehicle is available or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is same with unleaded one.
B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be usedin your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-ops drive ability problems, the use of 100%unleaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels withunspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcoholsother than ethanol, should not be used. B010D01S-AAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should
not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel canreduce vehicle performance and damage com-ponents of the fuel system. CAUTION: Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited War-ranty may not cover damage to the fuel sys-tem and performance problems that arecaused by the use of methanol or fuels con-taining methanol. B010E01A-AAT Gasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom- mends that you use gasolines treated with deter-gent additives, which help prevent deposit for-mation in the engine. These gasolines will helpthe engine run cleaner and the Emission ControlSystem performance. 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 registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available. B020A01X-GAT BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI During the First 2,000 km (1,200 Miles) No formal "break-in" procedure is required with your new Hyundai. However, you can contributeto the economical operation and durability of yourHyundai by observing the following recommen-
dations 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) between 2000 and4000 rpm.

resulting in the engine bucking. If this hap- pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving isracing the engine beyond its safe limit. Thiscan be avoided by shifting at the recom-mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.
C150A01A-AAT
SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wearwill be held to a minimum.
C160A01A-AAT
WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. Tominimize the problems of winter driving, youshould follow these suggestions:
C160B01A-GAT
Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be
necessary to use snow tires or to install tirechains on your tires. If snow tires are needed,
it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size
and type to the original equipment tires.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-
ly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular sur-faces. Poor alignment causes faster tirewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear
C140A01A-AAT
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more kilometers from
your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-sible. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect in-flation, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency andelectrical charging performance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slowdown to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
WARNING:
o The tongue load should never exceed;
Auto: 25kgManual : 28kg
o Maximun permissible mass of the cou- pling device (ATOS VAN only) : 20kg
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can seriously affect its steering and brak- ing performance causing a crash whichcould cause serious injury or death. kg.
