VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
During the first 1,000 km
(600 miles)
No formal "break-in" procedure is
required with your new HYUNDAI.
However, you can contribute to the eco-
nomical operation and durability of your
HYUNDAI by observing the following rec-
ommendations during the first 1,000 km
(600 miles).
• While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
• While driving, keep under three quar-
ters of maximum speed.
• Use moderate acceleration. Don't start,
depress the accelerator pedal fully.
• For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to
avoid hard stops.
• 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).
• Whether going fast or slow, vary your
speed from time to time.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,000
km (600 miles) of operation.
• Do not exceed loading limits.
Before Operation
Precautions for New Vehicle
The performance and life of a vehicle
depend largely on how the vehicle is
handled when new.
To maintain the parts smoothly and sus-
tain high performance for a long time to
come, be sure to observe the following
points.
Make sure that your vehicle does not
miss the first 5,000 km inspections.
After the first 5,000 km of driving, take
your vehicle to your nearest service shop
for inspection.
Loading your vehicle
Never load the luggage and people to
exceed GVWR (MLW) and GAWR of
your vehicle.
You can find the GVWR(MLW) and
GAWR -maximum loading capacities- on
the VIN plate.
The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating) or MLW (Maximum Loaded
Weight) means total weight of the vehi-
cle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. And
GAWR means the maximum weights that
the front and rear axles can endure the
weights including vehicle itself weight.
✽✽
NOTICE
Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of over-
loading.
WARNING
Improperly loading your car can
serious affect its steering and brak-
ing performance causing a crash in
which you may be seriously injured
or killed.
