CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTHowever, care must be exercised when re- fuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or bymeans of a funnel that the fuel being used isunleaded. The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst ele-ment. Such pollution will prevent correct op-eration of the catalyst and give rise to in-creased operating temperatures leading tothe catalyst element melting and restrictingthe exhaust flow along with an increase inexhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrectfuels. DIESEL ENGINES Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in diesel engined Hyundai vehicle. If two types of dieselfuel are available, use summer or winter fuelproperly according to the following tempera-ture conditions.
o Above 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type diesel fuel. Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully: If the engine stops through fuel failure, the circuits must be completely purged to permitrestarting.

UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Num- ber (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in thisvehicle.To prevent accidental charging of the fueltank with leaded fuel, a small diameter fillerneck along with a restrictor flap are fitted toensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzlesmay enter the filler neck. CAUTION: Do not let any petrol or water enter the tank. If this happens, the tank should becompletely drained and the fuel linesshould all be cleaned out. This will stopthe fuel pump from becoming contami-nated.

B880B03A-GAT Keys All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are oper- ated by the same key. However, since it ispossible to lock the doors without the use ofthe key, care should be exercised to ensurethat the key does not become locked insidethe vehicle by mistake. NOTE: If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system orstart the engine.
B020A02FC-EAT RUNNING IN (Petrol Engine) The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercisedduring the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Be-cause of modern manufacturing techniques,rigid guidelines regarding maximum roadspeeds have become unnecessary. However,certain precautions should be observed inorder to obtain the best possible performanceand 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 engine speed should be restricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components will become run in
more quickly 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 1,500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1,000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction fac-ings of the brake pads and shoes to bedagainst the discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken during the running in period.

3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome run in more quickly if the operationspeed 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 1,500rpm.
