of your Hyundai by observing the following

(rpm, or revolutions per minute) between
2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start, de-
press the accelerator pedal fully.
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to avoid
hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't
drive so slowly in toohigh a gear that the
engine "bucks": shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed
from time to time.

KEYS
B030A01E
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.
