KEYS 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 registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
B010E01A-AAT
Gasolines for Cleaner Air
To 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
performance of the Emission Control System.
B020A01S-AAT
During the First 1200 Miles (2000 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 recom-
mendations during the first 1200 miles (2000
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 min-
utes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) of operation.
B030A01A-AAT
For greater convenience, the same key oper-
ates 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.
