BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai rec-
ommends 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.B010F01A-AATOperation in Foreign CountriesIf you are going to drive your Hyundai in another
country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
B020A01S-AATDuring the First 1,200 Miles (2,000 Km)No formal "break-in" procedure is required with
your new Hyundai. However, you can contrib-
ute to the economical operation and durability of
your Hyundai by observing the following recom-
mendations during the first 1,200 miles (2,000
km).
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
quickly 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 minutes
at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) of operation.
B030A01Y-AATKEYSFor greater convenience, your Hyundai has
two master keys and a sub key. The master
keys will open all locks on your vehicle. The sub
key will only function in the ignition and the door
locks.
Leaving your sub key with a parking attendant
will ensure that your vehicle's trunk, trunk lid
release, glovebox compartment and rear trunk
access may not be unlocked in your absence.NOTE:Before leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant, make sure that the lock levers of
the rear seat back lock and the trunk lid lock
are switched to the "LOCK" position.

WARNING:
o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pres-
sure sound" may be heard. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Failure
to replace or fully seat the fuel filler cap
will result in fuel vapors escaping into
the atmosphere and the MIL indicator
illuminating.
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explo-
sive materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
o Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel
filler cap, have one's hands in contact
with metal parts away from the filler neck
to discharge static electricity.
o Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything that
can produce static electricity. Static elec-
tricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors
resulting in explosion.

WARNING:
o When using a portable fuel container be
sure to place the container on the ground
while refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. While starting re-
fueling contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
o Do not use cellular phones around a gas
station. The electric current or electronic
interference from cellular phones can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
o When refueling always shut the engine
off. Sparks by electrical equipment of
the engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. After refueling, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed,
and then start the engine.
o Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive fuels
are flammable.
