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.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTcircuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-mance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal traveland stopping distance will be increased. Useof the gearbox is recommended to assist inbringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle mustnot be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repaired and isfunctioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.Power for the servo is derived from the engineand therefore, in the event of the enginestopping or the vehicle being towed, pedalefforts will be substantially increased.
