Petrol Engine
The longevity and performance of the
vehicle are greatly affected by the care
exercised during the first 1,000 miles of
motoring. Because of modern manu-
facturing techniques, rigid guidelines
regarding maximum road speeds have
become 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 500 miles the maxi-
mum engine speed should be re-
stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually
increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed op-
eration. The internal components will
become run in more quickly if the
operation speed is varied during the
running-in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use
the gearbox freely and avoid large
throttle open-ings 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 discs
and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be under-
taken during the running in period.

Operation in Foreign Countries
Drivers of vehicles which are to be
operated in foreign countries must sat-
isfy themselves that:
o The vehicle meets all local regula-
tions with respect to insurance, speci-
fications etc..

are available for satisfactory opera-
tion of the vehicle.

Fuels for Cleaner Air
To help contribute to cleaner air,
Hyundai recommends that you use
fuels treated with detergent additives,
which help to prevent deposit forma-
tion in the engine. These fuels will help
the engines run cleaner and increase
the Emission Control System perfor-
mance.
