1. CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT
B010A03O-EAT
PETROL ENGINES
THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OPER-
ATED WITH UNLEADED FUEL.
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM
THE USE OF LEADED FUEL.
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
B010A01FC
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Num-
ber (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this
vehicle.
To prevent accidental charging of the fuel
tank with leaded fuel, a small diameter filler
neck along with a restrictor flap are fitted to
ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles
may enter the filler neck.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

However, care must be exercised when re-
fuelling the vehicle tank from jerry cans or by
means of a funnel that the fuel being used is
unleaded.
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 to
the catalyst element melting and restricting
the exhaust flow along with an increase in
exhaust emission levels.
CAUTION:
The vehicle warranty will not extend to
damage arising from the use of incorrect
fuels.
DIESEL ENGINES
Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in diesel
engined Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel
fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel
properly 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 permit
restarting.
CAUTION:
Do not let any petrol or water enter the
tank. If this happens, the tank should be
completely drained and the fuel lines
should all be cleaned out. This will stop
the fuel pump from becoming contami-
nated.
ZB010C1-E
"Alternative fuels"
Fuels which contain methanol or ethanol must
not be used.
ZB010D1-E
Operation in Foreign Countries
Drivers of vehicles which are to be operated
in foreign countries must satisfy themselves
that:
o The vehicle meets all local regulations with
respect to insurance, specifications etc..
o The correct types and grades of fuel are
available for satisfactory operation of the
vehicle.
ZB010F2-A
Fuels for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use fuels treated with
detergent additives, which help to prevent
deposit formation in the engine. These fuels
will help the engines run cleaner and the
Emission Control System performance.
