Running In Your New Hyundai - Hyundai Getz 2004 Owner's Manual

RUNNING IN YOUR
HYUNDAI (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 of
the engine will become more quickly
run in 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 openings 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.
