FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
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 con-
taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gaso-
line and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol)
may be used in your Hyundai. However, if
your engine develops driveability prob-
lems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline
is recommended. Fuels with unspecified
quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other
than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A05A-AATUse Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number
91) or higher must be used in your
Hyundai.
B010C01A-AATUse of MTBEHyundai recommends that fuels contain-
ing 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.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor-
mance and damage components of the
fuel system.

UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
WARNING:
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto-
matically shuts off when refueling.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise the "
" light will illuminate.
o Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel spill-
age in the event of an accident.

ILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCH
(If installed)Whenever either front door is opened, the
ignition switch will be illuminated for your
convenience, provided the ignition switch
is not in the "ON" position.
The light will go off approximately 10 sec-
onds after closing the door or when the
ignition switch is turned on.
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Before you drive away (especially if
there are children in the car), be sure
that all the doors are securely closed
and locked so that the doors cannot
be opened from the inside. This helps
ensure that the doors will not be
opened accidentally. Also, when com-
bined with the proper use of seat belts,
locking the doors helps keep occu-
pants from being ejected from the car
in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
B030B01A-AATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is stamped on the number
plate that came with the keys to your
Hyundai. This key number plate should
not be left with the keys but kept in a safe
place, not in the vehicle. The key number
should also be recorded in a place where
it can be found in an emergency.
If you need additional keys, or if you should
lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai
dealer can make new keys if you can
supply the key number.

B190A02Y-AATSEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Rear Seat 3-Point System with Com-
bination Locking RetractorCombination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Although a combination
retractor is also installed in the front passen-
ger seat position, Hyundai strongly recom-
mends that children always be seated in the
rear seat. NEVER place any infant restraint
system in the front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the fea-
tures of both an emergency locking retrac-
tor seat belt and an automatic locking
retractor seat belt. To fasten your seat belt,
pull it out of the retractor and insert the
metal tab into the buckle. There will be an
audible "click" when the tab locks into the
buckle. When not securing a child restraint,
the seat belt operates in the same way as
the driver's seat belt (Emergency Locking
Retractor Type). It automatically adjusts to
the proper length only after the lap belt
portion of the seat belt is adjusted manu-
ally so that it fits snugly around your hips.
When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt opera-
tion changes to allow the belt to retract, but
not to extend (Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor Type). See page 1-30. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and
let you move around. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, however, the belt will lock
into position. It will also lock if you try to lean
forward too quickly.

To Fasten Your Belt
B180A01L
NOTE:o If you are not able to pull out the safety
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.
o If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition key is in the "ON"
position, the seat belt warning light
will flash and the warning chime will
sound for approximately six seconds.
