B020A02FC-EAT Petrol Engine The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the careexercised during the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Because of modern manu- facturing techniques, rigid guidelinesregarding maximum road speeds have become unnecessary. However, cer- tain precautions should be observed inorder 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 willbecome run in more quickly if the operation speed is varied during therunning-in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use
the gearbox freely and avoid largethrottle 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 allowthe 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.
ZB010C1-E "Alternative fuels" Fuels which contain methanol or etha- nol must not be used. ZB010D1-E 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..
o The correct types and grades of fuel are available for satisfactory opera-tion of the vehicle.
ZB010F2-A Fuels for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use fuels treatedwith detergent additives, which help to prevent deposit formation in the engine. These fuels will help the engines runcleaner and the Emission Control Sys- tem performance.

B020B02FC-EAT Diesel Engine The longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised during the first 1,000 miles ofmotoring. Because of modern manu- facturing techniques, rigid guidelines regarding maximum road speeds havebecome 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 600 miles the maxi- mum engine speed should be re- stricted to 3,000 rpm and graduallyincreased thereafter. And whilst driv- ing, keep under three quarters of maximum vehicle speed.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed op- eration. The internal components ofthe engine will become run in morequickly if the operation speed is var- ied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoid largethrottle 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 1,000miles of motorway driving to allowthe 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. B880B03A-GAT Keys
6SB035A1-FE The immobiliser system is an anti-theft device, designed to prevent and deterautomobile theft. All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are operated by the same key. However,since it is possible to lock the doors without the use of the key, care should be exercised to ensure that the keydoes not become locked inside the vehicle by mistake. NOTE: If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine. AX10020A

Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid Level Warning Light WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus- pected with the braking system, the advice of the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer must be soughtbefore the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with either an electrical or hydraulic braking system defectmay be dangerous, resulting in acci- dent or personal injury. Warning light operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light will be illuminated when-ever the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position irrespective of whether or not the parking brake is applied andmust be extinguished when the engine starts and the parking brake released. If the warning light fails to extinguish orilluminates at any other time, the ve- hicle must be brought to rest in a safe location and the level of brake fluid inthe reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid con- forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica-tions should be added. If, after correct- ing the brake fluid level, the warning light continues to be illuminated, theadvice of the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer must be sought before the ve- hicle is driven again.The Hyundai Matrix is equipped with a diagonally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event ofone of the brake circuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking performance willbe available.

Overdrive Off Indicator
Light (Not all models)
When the overdrive (4th gear) switch is turned off and the operation of overdrive(4th gear) is cancelled, the overdrive warning light (O/D OFF) will be illumi- nated. When the switch is at the onposition, the gearbox will operate in the normal fully automatic mode and the warning light will be extinguished. If failure of one of the circuits occurs,the required amount of pedal effort,pedal travel and stopping distance will be increased. Use of the gearbox is recommended to assist in bringing thevehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired andis functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts arereduced. Power for the servo is derived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or thevehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.
