FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010A04HR-GAT Use Diesel
CAUTION:
Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would make it neces-sary to drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid jamming the injection pump and damaging the engine.
Diesel fuel Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel thatcomplies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for "European Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi- tives, as this will increase wear and cause damage to the engine and fuelsystem. The use of non-approved fuels and / or fuel additives will result in a limitation of your warranty rights. B010A01HR
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is usedin Hyundai vehicle. If two types ofdiesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type
diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops through fuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting. Biodiesel Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, com- monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214 or equivalent specifications. (EN stands for "European Norm"). The use of biofuels exceeding 7% made from rapeseed methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), veg- etable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding 7% with biodiesel will cause increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system. Repair or replacement of worn or dam- aged components due to the use of non approved fuels will not be covered by the manufactures warranty.
Biodiesel (for New Zealand) Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, com- monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214 or equivalent specifications. (EN stands for "European Norm"). The use of biofuels exceeding 7%, made from rapeseed methyl ester (RME), vegetable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding 7% with biodiesel will cause increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system.

Low Oil PressureWarning Light
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, seri- ous engine damage may result. Theoil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pres- sure. In normal operation, it shouldcome on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the en- gine is started. If the oil pressurewarning light stays on while the en- gine is running, there may be a seri- ous malfunction.If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the
engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with theengine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engineis running, the engine should be checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again. WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, haveyour brakes checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hy-draulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury or death.

Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi- cated by the turn signals. If the arrowcomes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate at all, a malfunction in theturn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light should come on when the parking brake is applied and the ignitionswitch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the parking brake isreleased.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
13WINTER DRIVING
chains on the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent sideskids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all prov- inces. Check province laws beforefitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor-dance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez-ing point is sufficient for the tempera- tures anticipated during the winter.
C160A01A-AAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the prob- lems of winter driving, you should fol-low these suggestions:
C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires orto install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous prac-tices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icyroads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance be- tween the vehicle in front and yourvehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyun-dai dealer or a service station.
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. SeeSection 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.

Stop mark
CAUTION:
o Use only the jack included with the vehicle and use it only for changing a wheel.
o Position the jack on a hard level
surface.
o If the release valve is loosened by turning it 2 or more times inthe counterclockwise direction,the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannot be used.!
D060F02HR
(7) Using the jack handle, turn the re- lease valve counterclockwise slow to lower the ram, and then take outthe jack. o This jack is hydraulic, and the ram
is a two-stage type. When both rams are raised and the stop mark(Green paint) of the upperram becomes visible, stop jack- ing immediately. Further exten- sion of the ram may damage thejack.
o When the jack is used, be sure that
there is no one in or under thevehicle.
o When jacking up the vehicle, do
so only until the tires are slightlylifted from the ground. It is dan- gerous to jack up the vehicle more than that much.
o It is very dangerous if the jack somehow slips, so never leave thevehicle in the jacked-up position,and never shake the vehicle while it is raised.
