BREAKING IN YOUR NEW
HYUNDAI
B010F01A-AATOperation in Foreign CountriesIf you are going to drive your Hyundai in
another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines
treated with detergent additives, which
help prevent deposit formation in the en-
gine. These gasolines will help the engine
run cleaner and enhance performance of
the Emission Control System.
B020A01TG-AATDuring 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 economical operation
and durability of your Hyundai by observ-
ing the following recommendations dur-
ing 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) be-
tween 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 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.

device, designed to deter automobile theft.NOTE:This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must

thority to operate the equipment.

One side of the key has the Hyundai
logo and the other side has an "S"
symbol.
Leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant will ensure that your vehicle's
trunk, trunk lid release, glove box com-
partment and rear trunk access may not
be unlocked in your absence.
CAUTION:
o If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the sys-
tem or start the engine.
o When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys in
close proximity; otherwise, the en-
gine may not start or may stop soon
after it starts.
Keep each key separated from one
another.
o Do not install the metal accessories
near the key or ignition switch.
The engine may not start for the metal
accessories may interrupt the tran-
sponder signal from normally trans-
mitting.
B880B03TG-AATTwo Types of KeysFor greater convenience, your Hyundai
has two types of keys as shown in the
illustration.
1) Master key
This key is for general use. It will open all
locks on your vehicle. One side of the key
has the Hyundai logo and the other side
has the "M" symbol.
2) Sub key
Similar to the master key, this key will
only function in the ignition and the door
locks, but it will not operate the trunk and
the glove box.

B031A01TG-AATBefore leaving sub key with parking
attendantWhen leaving the sub key with a parking
attendant, the following procedures will
ensure that your vehicle's trunk and glove
box can not be unlocked in your absence.
1. Unlock the glove box with the master
key and open it.
2. Set the trunk lid control button in the
glove box to the "OFF" position (not
depressed). In the "OFF" position, the

3. Close the glove box, and lock the glove
box using the master key.
4. Switch the rear seatback knobs to the
"LOCK" position (refer to page 1-26).
5. Leave the sub key with the attendant.

cause the sub key only allows ignition
and door lock operation.B880C01NF-GATKey NumbersThe vehicle key number is recorded on a
number tag attached to the keys when the
vehicle is first delivered to you.
B880C01TG
The key number should be recorded and
kept in a safe place in case the need to
order further keys arises. New keys are
available from any Hyundai dealer by
quoting the relevant key number.
In the interest of security, the number tag
attached to the keys which bears the key
number should be removed from the key
string after you receive your new vehicle.
In addition, key numbers cannot be pro-
vided by Hyundai for security reasons.
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 and master key.

NOTE:You can get a limp home password when
the vehicle is first delivered to you. If you
do not have a password, consult your
authorized Hyundai dealer.
1. To activate the password, turn the igni-
tion key "ON" and "OFF" according to
the digit numbers. The immobilizer indi-
cator will blink along with the operation
of the ignition key. For example, turn the
ignition key once for digit number "1",
and twice for "2", and so on. For the digit
number "0", you must cycle the ignition
key 10 times.
2. Wait for 3~10 seconds.
3. You may set the remaining number of
digits by following steps 1 and 2.
4. If all of the four password digits have
been successfully entered, turn the ig-
nition key "ON" and check that the im-
mobilizer indicator illuminates. From
this time, you have to start your engine
within 30 seconds. If you try to start your
engine after 30 seconds, your engine
will not start. If the immobilizer warning indicator blinks
for five seconds when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, this indicates
the immobilizer system requires service.
The engine cannot be started without us-
ing the procedure below.
The following procedure describes how to
start the engine using the limp home func-
tion (0, 1, 2, 3 as a sample password).
CAUTION:
o If the password is entered incorrectly
three consecutive times, wait for about
one hour to perform the limp home
activation procedure again.
o If you cannot start your engine using
the limp home activation procedure,
have your vehicle towed by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer.

NOTE:If the engine stalls while driving in the
"limp home" mode, you can start your
engine within 3 seconds without re-en-
tering the password.
If the immobilizer indicator blinks for five
seconds, you must re-enter the password
(steps 1~4).
After performing the limp home activation
procedure, consult with your authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
