When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.
!
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wearindicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be replaced when these appear as a solidbar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If youchange wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundai specification.

5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maxi-
mum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1,000 miles of motorway driving to allow the friction facings of the brake padsand shoes to bed against the discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be under- taken during the running-in period.
B020B01FC-EAT (Diesel Engine) The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during the first 1,000 miles ofmotoring. Because of modern manu- facturing techniques, rigid guidelines regarding maximum road speeds havebecome unnecessary. However, cer- tain precautions should be observed in order to obtain the best possible perfor-mance 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 600 miles the maxi- mum engine speed should be re- stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter. And while driv-ing, keep under three quarters of maximum vehicle speed.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed op- eration. The internal components ofthe engine will become more quickly run in if the operation speed is variedduring the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use
the gearbox freely and avoid largethrottle openings when the engine speed is below 1,500 rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maxi- mum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first
100 miles of urban motoring or 1,000 miles of motorway driving to allow the friction facings of the brake pads and shoes to bed against the discsand drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be under
taken during the running in period. All of the locks fitted to the vehicle areoperated by the same key. However,since it is possible to lock the doors without the use of the key, care should be exercised to ensure that the keydoes not become locked inside the vehicle by mistake.
