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
available.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
engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance perfor-
mance of the Emission Control System.
B020A01S-AATDuring the First 1,200 Miles (1,931
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 observing
the following recommendations during the
first 1,200 miles (1,931 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 (322 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 (1,931 km) of operation.
B030A01NF-GATFor 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 atten-
dant will ensure that the glove box com-
partment may not be unlocked in your
absence.

ILLUMINATED IGNITION SWITCHWhenever either front door is opened, the
ignition switch will be illuminated for your
convenience, provided the ignition switch
is not in the "ON" position.
The light will go off approximately 10
seconds after closing the door or when the
ignition switch is turned on.
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Before you drive away (especially if
there are children in the car), be sure
that all the doors are securely closed
and locked so that the doors cannot
be opened from the inside. This helps
ensure that the doors will not be
opened accidentally. Also, when
combined with the proper use of seat
belts, locking the doors helps keep
occupants from being ejected from
the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
B030B01NF-GATRecord Your Key NumberA code number is attached on the number
tag that came with the keys to your Hyundai.
This key number tag 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.
