octane Hyundai Coupe 2002 Owner's Manual

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT1- 1
The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element. Such pollution will prevent correct operation of the catalyst and give rise to increased operating temperatures leading to the catalyst element melting and restricting the exhaust flow along with an increase in exhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to dam- age arising from the use of incorrect fuels. Overseas Operation: When the vehicle is to be operated overseas, the vehicle operator should establish that a suitable fuel for satisfactory operation of the vehicle is available.
SB020A1-E RUNNING IN The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manufacturing techniques, rigid guidelines re- garding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, certain precautions should be observed in order to obtain the best possible performance and useful life from 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 en- gine speed should be restricted to 3000 rpmand gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation.
The internal components of the engine will become more quickly run in 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 1500 rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum
throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100
miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles of motorway driving to allow the friction facings of the brake pads and shoes to bed against the discs and drums properly.
7) Avoid trailer towing during the running in period.

SB010E1-E PETROLS FOR CLEANER AIR To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom- mends that you use petrols treated with deter- gent additives, which help to prevent deposit formation in the engine. These petrols will help the engines run cleaner and the Emission Con- trol System performance.
Unleaded fuel with a Reasearch Octane Number(RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle. To prevent accidental charging of the fuel tank with leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neck along with a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler neck. However, care must be exercised when charging the vehicle tank from jerry cans or by means of a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded.
SB010A1-E FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL. SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL.
