Introduction
Use of MTBE
Hyundai 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
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.
Do Not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system.
Gasolines for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines
treated with detergent additives, which
help prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control
System.
Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Hyundai in
another country, be sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.
During the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km)
No formal "break-in" procedure is
required with your new Hyundai.
However, you can contribute to the eco-
nomical operation and durability of your
Hyundai by observing the following rec-
ommendations during the first 1,200
miles (2,000 km).
• Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88
km/h).
• While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
• Use moderate acceleration. Don't start
quickly or depress the accelerator
pedal fully.
• For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to
avoid hard stops.
• Whether going fast or slow, vary your
speed from time to time.
• Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200
miles (2,000 km) of operation.
CAUTION
Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover damage to
the fuel system and any perform-
ance problems that are caused by
the use of fuels containing
methanol or fuels containing MTBE
(Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight.)
