RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE
The maintenance requirements for your new Hyundai are found in Section 5. As the owner,
it is your responsibility to see that all maintenance operations specified by the manufacturer
are carried out at the appropriate intervals. When the vehicle is used in severe driving
conditions, more frequent maintenance is required for some operations. Maintenance
requirements for severe operating conditions are also included in Section 5.

KEYS KEYSKEYS KEYS
KEYS
For greater convenience, the same key oper-
ates all the locks in your Hyundai. However,
because the doors can be locked without a key,
carrying a spare key is recommended in case
you accidentally lock one key inside the car.
B030B01A-AATRecord Your Key Number
A 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.

WARNING:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Before
you drive away (especially if there are chil-
dren in the car), be sure that all the doors
are securely closed and locked so that the
doors cannot be inadvertently opened from
the inside. This helps ensure that the doors o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm,
or revolutions per minute) between 2,000
rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quick-
ly or depress the accelerator pedal fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid
hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't
drive so slowly in too high a gear that the
engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed
from 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.

2- 7 o Driving through water may get the brakes
wet. They can also get wet when the car is
washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your
car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are
wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to
one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to nor-
mal, taking care to keep the car under control
at all times. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assis-
tance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear.
This is extremely hazardous. Keep the car in
gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift to a lower gear so that engine
braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot
on the brake pedal while driving can be dan-
gerous because it can result in the brakes
overheating and losing their effectiveness. It
also increases the wear of the brake compo-
nents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply
the brakes gently and keep the car pointed
straight ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe
to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
o If your car is equipped with an automatic
transaxle, don't let your car creep forward. To
avoid creeping forward, keep your foot on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.

Good Driving Practices Good Driving PracticesGood Driving Practices Good Driving Practices
Good Driving Practiceso Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the acceler-
ator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"
when 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 hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them
to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when
you are driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you do this,
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 depend
on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car
from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel
economy and smooth driving. If engine brak-
ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeated
upshifting and downshifting between the 3rd
and 4th gear is needed when climbing a
