Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components ofthe fuel system.
Gasolines for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
HYUNDAI recommends that you usegasolines treated with detergent addi-
tives, which help prevent deposit forma-
tion in the engine. These gasolines will
help the engine run cleaner and enhance
performance of the Emission ControlSystem.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is avail- able. No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long
periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergen- cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.

On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving, the
smart cruise control system may not
detect a moving vehicle in your lane,
and cause your vehicle to accelerate to
the set speed. Also, the vehicle speed
will slow down when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and apply the brakes or accel-
erator pedal if necessary.
Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into your lanefrom an adjacent lane cannot be rec-
ognized by the sensor until it is in the
sensor's detection range.
The sensor may not detect immediate- ly when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
Always pay attention to the traffic, road
and driving conditions.
If a vehicle which moves into your lane is slower than your vehicle, your speed
may decrease to maintain the distance
to the vehicle ahead.
If a vehicle which moves into your lane is faster than your vehicle, your vehicle
will accelerate to the selected speed.
Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles ahead in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles orbicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-decel- erating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads
