2 FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

UNLEADED

B010A04A

!B010A02A-AAT

Use Unleaded Gasoline

Unleaded gasoline with a Pump OctaneRating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91)or higher must be used in your Hyundai.

If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause thecatalytic converter to become ineffective andthe emission control system to malfunction. Thiscan also result in increased maintenance ex-pense.

To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the largernozzle used with leaded gasoline at service

stations cannot be inserted into the fuel tankopening of your Hyundai.

B010B01A-AAT

What About Gasohol?

Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasolineand 10% ethanol or grain alcohol) may be usedin your Hyundai. However, if your engine devel-ops driveability problems, the use of 100% un-

leaded gasoline is recommended. Fuels withunspecified quantities of alcohol, or alcoholsother than ethanol, should not be used.

B010C01A-AAT

Use of MTBE

Hyundai recommends that fuels containingMTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0%vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) should notbe used in your Hyundai.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol. (OxygenContent 2.7% weight) may reduce vehicle per-formance and produce vapor lock or hard start-ing.

B010D01A-AAT

Do Not Use Methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) not be used in your Hyundai. This type can reduce vehicle performance and da

components of the fuel system.

CAUTION:o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle

shut off when refueling.

o The fuel cap must be tightened at least3 clicks, otherwise " " light may ill-uminate.

CAUTION:Your Hyundai's New Vehicle Limited Wty may not cover damage to the fuel sand any performance problems that are cby the use of fuels containing methafuels containing MTBE (Methyl TertiaryEther) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Contenweight.)

formation in the engine. These gasolines willhelp the engine run cleaner and enhanceperformance of the Emission Control System.

B020A01S-AAT

During the First 1200 Miles (2000 Km)

No formal "break-in" procedure is required withyour new Hyundai. However, you can contributeto the economical operation and durability of

your Hyundai by observing the following recom-mendations during the first 1200 miles (2000km).

or revolutions per minute) between 2,000rpm and 4,000 rpm.

o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quicklyor depress the accelerator pedal fully.

o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoidhard stops.

o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don'tdrive so slowly in too high a gear that theengine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear).

o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speedfrom time to time.

o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 min-utes at one time.

o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles(2,000 km) of operation.

Injured Person

A seat belt should be used when an injuredperson is being transported. When this is nec-essary, you should consult a physician for rec-

ommendations.

B150F01A-AAT

One Person Per Belt

Two people (including children) should neverattempt to use a single seat belt. This couldincrease the severity of injuries in case of anaccident.

B150G01A-AAT

Do Not Lie Down

To reduce the chance of injuries in the eventof an accident and to achieve maximum effec-tiveness of the restraint system, all passen-gers should be sitting up and the front seatsshould be in an upright position when the caris moving. A seat belt cannot provide properprotection if the person is lying down in the rearseat or if the front seat is in a reclined position.

WARNING:Sitting in a reclined position or lyingwhen your vehicle is in motion can be da

ous. Even if you buckle up, your seatcan't do their job when you're reclineshoulder belt can't do its job because itbe against your body. Instead, it willfront of you. In a crash you could go with great force, receiving serious neother injuries. The lap belt can't do ieither. In a crash the belt could go upyour abdomen. The belt forces would benot at your strong pelvic bones. This cause serious internal injuries.For proper protection when the vehicl

motion, have the seatback upright. Thback in the seat and wear your seaproperly. See Page 1-18.

B150D01A-AAT

Pregnant Women

The use of a seat belt is recommended forpregnant women to lessen the chance of injuryin an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lapbelt portion should be placed as low and snugly

as possible on the hips, not across the abdo-men. For specific recommendations, consult aphysician.

B150C02A-AAT

Larger Children

Children who are too large for child restraintsystems should always occupy the rear seatand use the available lap/shoulder belts. The

lap portion should be fastened snug on thehips and as low as possible. Check belt fitperiodically. A child's squirming could put thebelt out of position. Children are afforded themost safety in the event of an accident whenthey are restrained by a proper restraint sys-tem in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age13) must be seated in the front seat, the childshould be securely restrained by the availablelap/shoulder belt and the seat should be placedin the rearmost position. Children under theage of 13 should be restrained securely in the

rear seat. NEVER place a child under the ageof 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a rearfacing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.

It is further required that the seplaced in the vehicle's rear seat since thmake an important contribution to safetyvehicle is provided with three child rehook holders for installing the child sinfant seat.

!WARNING:o Always make sure that the shoulder

belt portion of the outboard lap/shoul-der belt is positioned midway over theshoulder, never across the neck or be-hind the back. Moving the child closerto the center of the vehicle may helpprovide a good shoulder belt fit. Thelap belt portion of the lap/shoulder beltor the center seat lap belt must alwaysbe positioned as low as possible on thechild's hips and as snug as possible.

o If the seat belt will not properly fit thechild, Hyundai recommends the use ofan approved booster seat in the rear

seat in order to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will properlyfit the child. Before purchasing abooster seat, make sure that it meetsapplicable Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (FMVSS) and that it is satis-factory for use with this vehicle.

o Never allow a child to stand up or kneelon the seat.

o Never use an infant carrier or child safetyseat that "hooks" over a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-

dent.

WARNING:o Never allow a child to be held in a

person's arms while they are in a mov-ing vehicle, as this could result in seri-ous injury to the child in the event of anaccident or a sudden stop. Holding achild in a moving vehicle does not pro-vide the child with any means of protec-tion during an accident, even if the per-son holding the child is wearing a seatbelt.

B240A01A-AAT

Your Hyundai is equipped with a Dual-stageSupplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The

indications of the system's presence are theletters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbagpad cover in the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel pad above theglove box.

The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installedunder the pad covers in the center of the steer-ing wheel and the passenger's side front panelabove the glove box. The purpose of the SRS isto provide the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection than that

offered by the seat-belt system alone, in case ofa frontal impact of sufficient severity.

B240A03A

Driver's Airbag

The dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sen-sors to gather information about the driver'sand front passenger's seat position, thedriver's and front passenger's seat belt usageand impact severity.The driver's and front passenger's seat posi-

tion sensors determine if the seats are fore oraft of a reference position. Similarly, the seatbelt usage sensors determine if the driver andfront passenger's seat belts are fastened.These sensors provide the ability to controlthe SRS deployment's pressure based on howclose the driver's seat is to the steering wheel,how close the passenger's seat is to theinstrument panel and whether or not the seatbelts are fastened.

The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to control

the airbag inflation with two pressure levels. Alower pressure level is provided for moderate-severity impacts. A higher-pressure level is pro-vided for more severe impacts.

NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the

SRS on the labels provided on the back-side of the sun visor and in the glove box.

WARNING:o As its name implies, the SRS

AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-tances than FM broadcasts. This is becauseAM radio waves are transmitted at low fre-quencies. These long, low frequency radio

waves can follow the curvature of the earthrather than travelling straight out into the atmo-sphere. In addition, they curve around ob-structions so that they can provide bettersignal coverage.

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast fromtransmitter towers located around your city.

They are intercepted by the radio antenna onyour car. This signal is then received by theradio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures the best possible quality re-production. However, in some cases the sig-nal coming to your vehicle may not be strongand clear. This can be due to factors such asthe distance from the radio station, closenessof other strong radio stations or the presenceof buildings, bridges or other large obstruc-

o Never move the gear selector lever into Pwhen the vehicle is in motion.

o Be sure the car is completely stopped before

you attempt to shift into "R".o Never take the car out of gear and coast

down a hill. This may be extremely hazard-ous. Always leave the car in gear whenmoving.

o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can causethem to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.

o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.

Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.o Always use the parking brake. Do not de-

pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keepthe car from moving.

o Exercise extreme caution when driving on aslippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change in vehiclespeed can cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle to go out of control.

WARNING:o Avoid high cornering speeds.o Do not make quick steering wheel move-

ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.

o Always wear your seat belts.In a collision crash, un unbelted personis significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.

o The risk of rollover is greatly increasedif you lose control of your vehicle athighway speeds.

o Loss of control often occurs if two ormore wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road-way.

o In the event your vehicle leaves theroadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,slow down before pulling back into thetravel lanes.

adjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possi-ble. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.

o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster youdrive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.

o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This

can increase fuel consumption and also in-crease wear on these components. In addi-tion, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.

o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated tothe recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-sion is most likely to occur. For example, corro-sion is accelerated by high humidity, particularlywhen temperatures are just above freezing. Insuch conditions, the corrosive material is kept incontact with the car surfaces by moisture that isslow to evaporate.Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protec-

tion because it is slow to dry and holds moisturein contact with the vehicle. Even though the mudappears to be dry, it can still retain moisture andpromote corrosion.High temperatures can also accelerate corro-sion of parts that are not properly ventilated sothe moisture can be dispersed. For all thesereasons, it is particularly important to keep yourcar clean and free of mud or accumulations ofother materials. This applies not only on thevisible surfaces but particularly to the undersideof the car.

8/2/2019 2004 Accent


All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono-lith type three-way catalytic converter toreduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbonsand nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaustgas. Exhaust gases passing through the cata-lytic converter cause it to operate at a veryhigh temperature. The introduction of largeamounts of unburned gasoline into the ex-haust may cause the catalytic converter tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This riskmay be reduced by observing the following:

HLC5022Catalytic Converter as soon as possible.

o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.Running out of gasoline may cause theengine to misfire and result in damage tothe catalytic converter.

o Avoid idling the engine for periods longerthan 10 minutes.

o The vehicle should not be pushed orpulled to get started. This may cause the

catalytic converter to overheat and createa fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic converter orany other part of the exhaust systemwhile the catalytic converter is hot. Shutoff the engine, wait for at least one hourbefore touching the catalytic converter orany other part of the exhaust system.
