B880B03A-GAT Keys All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are oper- ated by the same key. However, since it ispossible to lock the doors without the use ofthe key, care should be exercised to ensurethat the key does not become locked insidethe vehicle by mistake. NOTE: If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system orstart the engine.
B020A02FC-EAT RUNNING IN (Petrol Engine) The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercisedduring the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Be-cause of modern manufacturing techniques,rigid guidelines regarding maximum roadspeeds have become unnecessary. However,certain precautions should be observed inorder to obtain the best possible performanceand 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 maximum engine speed should be restricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. 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 1,500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1,000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction fac-ings of the brake pads and shoes to bedagainst the discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken during the running in period.

2) During the first 600 miles the maximum engine speed should be restricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.And whilst driving, keep under three quar-ters of maximum vehicle speed.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome run in more quickly if the operationspeed 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 1,500rpm.

o For cleaning the airbag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water.Solvents or cleaners could adverselyaffect the airbag covers and properdeployment of the system.
o No objects should be placed over or near the airbag modules on the steeringwheel, instrument panel, and the frontpassenger's panel above the glove box,because any such object could causeharm if the vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an Hyundai authorised re-pairer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRSsystem. Doing so could result in injury,due to accidental firing of the airbags orby rendering the SRS inoperative.
o If components of the airbag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must bescrapped, certain safety precautionsmust be observed. Your Hyundai dealerknows these precautions and can giveyou the necessary information. Failureto follow these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk of per-sonal injury. o If you sell your vehicle, be sure to
inform the new owner of these impor-tant points and make certain that thismanual is transferred to the new owner.
o If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have thecar towed to Hyundai authorised re-pairer.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTcircuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-mance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal traveland stopping distance will be increased. Useof the gearbox is recommended to assist inbringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle mustnot be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repaired and isfunctioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.Power for the servo is derived from the engineand therefore, in the event of the enginestopping or the vehicle being towed, pedalefforts will be substantially increased.
