EQUIPMENT
SB010A1-E
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED
WITH UNLEADED FUEL.
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM
THE USE OF LEADED FUEL.
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
B010A02GK
Unleaded fuel with a Reasearch Octane Number
(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. However, care must be exercised
when charging the vehicle tank from jerry cans or
by means of a funnel that the fuel being used is
unleaded.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in
irreversible pollution of the catalyst element.
Such pollution will prevent correct operation of
the catalyst and give rise to increased 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 dam-
age arising from the use of incorrect fuels.
Overseas Operation:
When the vehicle is to be operated overseas, the
vehicle operator should establish that a suitable
fuel for satisfactory operation of the vehicle is
available.

PETROLS FOR CLEANER AIR
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recom-
mends that you use petrols treated with deter-
gent additives, which help to prevent deposit
formation in the engine. These petrols will help
the engines run cleaner and the Emission Con-
trol System performance.

RUNNING IN
The longevity and performance of the vehicle are
greatly affected by the care exercised during the
first 1000 miles of motoring. Because of modern
manufacturing techniques, rigid guidelines re-
garding maximum road speeds have become
unnecessary. However, certain precautions
should be observed in order to obtain the best
possible performance and 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 en-
gine speed should be restricted to 3000 rpm
and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation.
The internal components of the engine will
become more quickly run in 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 1500
rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum
throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100
miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles of
motorway driving to allow the friction facings
of the brake pads and shoes to bed against
the discs and drums properly.
7) Avoid trailer towing during the running in
period.
