BREAKING IN YOUR NEW
HYUNDAI

B010F01A-AAT

Operation in Foreign Countries

If 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-AAT

Gasolines for Cleaner Air

To 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.

B020A01S-AAT

During 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 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.

KEYS

B030A01A-AAT

For greater convenience, the same key
operates 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.
