2FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010A02A-EAT THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OP- ERATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL.SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULTFROM THE USE OF LEADED FUEL. For the optimal vehicle performance, we recommend you to use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of RON(Research Octane Number) 95 /AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher. To prevent accidental charging of the fuel tank with leaded fuel, a smalldiameter filler neck along with a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles mayenter the filler neck. However, care must be exercised when refuelling the vehicle tank from fuel cans or by meansof a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded. The use of leaded fuel in this vehiclewill result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element. Such pollution will prevent correct operation of the cata-lyst and give rise to increased operating temperatures leading to the catalyst element melting and restricting the ex-haust flow along with an increase in exhaust emission levels.

UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY ZB010C1-E "Alternative fuels" Fuels which contain methanol or etha- nol must not be used. ZB010F2-A Fuels for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use fuels treated with detergent additives, which help to prevent deposit forma-tion in the engine. These fuels will help the engines run cleaner and increase the Emission Control System perfor-mance.
ZB010D1-E Operation in Foreign Countries Drivers of vehicles which are to be operated in foreign countries must satisfy themselves that:
o The vehicle meets all local regula-
tions with respect to insurance, specifications etc..
o The correct types and grades of fuel
are available for satisfactory opera-tion of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not ex- tend to damage arising from the use of incorrect fuels.

3RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B020A01S-EAT The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manu-facturing techniques, rigid guidelines regarding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, cer-tain precautions should be observed in order to obtain the best possible per- formance and useful life from the ve-hicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a
load (i.e revving the engine in neu- tral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maxi- mum engine speed should be re-stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal componentsof the engine will become morequickly run in if the operation speed is varied during the running in pe- riod.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoidlarge throttle openings when theengine speed is below 1,500 rpm.BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLEAFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE
YB020A1-E

!WARNING:
Fuel vapours are dangerous. Be- fore refuelling, turn off the engine and never allow sparks, lit ciga-rettes or open flames near the filler area. When releasing the filler cap, a small amount of residual pres-sure may generate a slight hissing sound which is not indicative of an abnormality. In the event of the fuelfiller cap requiring replacement, only a Genuine Hyundai replace- ment part should be used to pre-vent fuel leakage. HGK2018Q
SB440A1-E (Not all models) The fuel filler lid may be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on thefuel filler lid release. NOTE: If the fuel filler lid will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Donot lever the lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an approved de- icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.REMOTE FUEL FILLER LID RELEASE
