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.

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.

BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI
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.

KEYS
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.

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1- 17
This type of seat belt combines the features
of both an emergency locking retractor seat
belt and an automatic locking retractor seat
belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle. When not secur-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-
gency Locking Retractor Type). It automati-
cally adjusts to the proper length only after the
lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. When the seat belt is fully
extended from the retractor to allow the installa-
tion of a child restraint system, the seat belt
operation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking Retractor
Type). See page 1-24.
NOTE:Although the combination retractor provides
the same level of protection for seated pas-
sengers in either emergency or automatic
locking modes, it is recommended that seated
passengers use the emergency locking fea-
ture for improved convenience. The auto-
matic locking function is intended to facilitate
child restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the emer-
gency locking operation mode, allow the un-
buckled seat belt to fully retract. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the retrac-
tor and insert the metal tab into the buckle.
There will be an audible "click" when the tab
locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt is adjusted manual-
ly so that it fits snugly around your hips. If you
lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, however, the belt will
lock into position. It will also lock if you try to
lean forward too quickly.
NOTE:If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when
the ignition key is in the "ON" position, the
seat belt warning light will flash and the warn-
ing chime will sound for approximately six
seconds.
WARNING:o For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, seat belts must always be used when-
ever the car is moving.
o Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright position.
o Children must always be seatbelted in
the rear seats. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat.
o The shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over the shoulder nearest the
door for the most effective protection.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door. Wearing the belt under
the arm nearest the door could cause
serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
o Avoid wearing twisted seat belts. A twist-
ed belt can't do its job as well. In a colli-
sion, it could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight and not twisted.
o Be careful not to damage the belt web-
bing or hardware. If the belt webbing or
hardware is damaged, replace it.

SEAT BELTS-Front Passenger and
Outboard Rear Seat 3-Point System
with Combination Locking Retractor :
To Fasten Your Belt
Combination retractor type seat belts are in-
stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to
help accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends
that children always be seated in the rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in
the front seat of the vehicle.
!

1- 24 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
After installation of the child restraint system, try
to move it in all directions to be sure the child
restraint system is securely installed. If you
need to tighten the belt, pull more webbing
toward the retractor. When you unbuckle the
seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will
automatically revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o Do not install any child restraint system
in the front passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the passenger
side airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a
child restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
!
To install a child restraint system in the outboard
rear seats, extend the shoulder/lap belt entirely
from its retractor until a "click" is felt. This will
engage the seat belt retractor automatic locking
feature, which allows the seat belt to retract but
not extend. Install the child restraint system,
buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to
take up any slack. Make sure that the lap portion
of the belt is tight around the child restraint
system and the shoulder portion of the belt is
positioned so that it cannot interfere with the
child's head or neck. Also, double check to be
sure that the retractor has engaged the auto-
matic locking feature by trying to extend web-
bing out of the retractor. If the retractor is in the
automatic locking mode, the belt will be locked.

Installation on Rear Seat Center
Position
Use the center seat belt for the rear seat to
secure the child restraint system as illustrated.
After installation of the child restraint system,
rock the child seat back and forth, and side to
side to ensure that it is properly secured by the
seat belt.
If the child seat moves, readjust the length of the
seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert the child
restraint tether strap hook into the child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure the seat.
Always refer to the child restraint system
manufacturer's recommendation before install-
ing the child restraint system in your vehicle.
