B020A01S-AATBREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
During the First 1,200 Miles (2,000 Km)
No formal "break-in" procedure is required with
your new Hyundai. However, you can contrib-
ute to the economical operation and durability
of your Hyundai by observing the following
recommendations during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km).

minate.
Unleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane Rating
of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher
must be used in your Hyundai.
If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the
catalytic converter to become ineffective and
the emission control system to malfunction.
This can also result in increased maintenance
expense.
To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the
larger nozzle used with leaded gasoline at
service stations cannot be inserted into the fuel
tank opening of your Hyundai.
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline
and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be used
in your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-
ops 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 MTBE
Hyundai recommends that fuels containing
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. (Oxy-
gen Content 2.7% weight) may reduce vehicle
performance and produce vapor lock or hard
starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol)
should not be used in your Hyundai. This type
of fuel can reduce vehicle performance 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 containing
methanol or fuels containing MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxy-
gen Content 2.7% weight.).
B010F01A-AATOperation 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.
B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines treated
with detergent additives, which help prevent
deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines
will help the engine run cleaner and enhance
performance of the Emission Control System.

This light illuminates when there is a malfunc-
tion of an exhaust gas related component, and
the system is not functioning properly so that
the exhaust gas regulation values are not sat-
isfied. This light will also illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, and
will go out in a few seconds. If it illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, take
your car to your nearest authorized Hyundai
dealer and have the system checked.
B270A01A-AATBRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUND BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUNDBRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUND BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUND
BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUNDThe front disc brake pads have wear indicators
that should make a high-pitched squealing or
scraping noise when new pads are needed.
The sound may come and go or be heard all the
time when the vehicle is moving. It may also be
heard when the brake pedal is pushed down
firmly. Expensive rotor damage will result if the
worn pads are not replaced. See your Hyundai
dealer immediately.
B260Q01E-GATCruise Indicator (If Installed)
The cruise indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated when the cruise control
main switch on the end of the barrel is pushed.
The indicator light does not illuminate when the
cruise control main switch is pushed a second

To use a floor mat on the front floor carpet,
make sure it attaches to the floor mat anchor in
your vehicle. This keeps the floor mat from
sliding forward.
WARNING:o Make sure the floor mat is properly placed
on the floor carpet. If the floor mat slips
and interferes with the movement of the
pedals during driving, it may cause an
accident.
o Don't put an additional floor mat on the
top of the anchored mat, otherwise the
additional mat may slide forward and

Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it
again. Then note the highest level the oil has
reached on the dipstick. It should be between
the upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range.
If the oil level is close to or below the "LOW"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "FULL" mark.
To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not
overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "FULL" and "LOW"
marks is equal to about 1 quart of oil.

in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the coolant
temperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear
selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). Set the parking
brake.
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by
blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-
case. This system supplies fresh filtered air to
the crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with
blow-by gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve and into the induction system.
