CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 3
E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage Dry Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a fa- vorable environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash your carin the garage or drive it into the garage when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated ga-rage can contribute to corrosion un- less it is well ventilated so moisture is dispersed. E020D01A-AAT Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition Scratches or chips in the finish should be covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible to reduce the possi-bility of corrosion. If bare metal is show- ing through, the attention of a qualified body and paint shop is recommended. E020E01A-AAT Don't Neglect the Interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corro-sion. Check under the mats periodi- cally to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertiliz-ers, cleaning materials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in propercontainers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up, flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.
E020B01A-AAT Keep Your Car Clean The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your car clean and free of corro-sive materials. Attention to the under- side of the car is particularly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the ocean, areas with industrial pollu-tion, acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra care to prevent corro- sion. In winter, hose off the under-side of your car at least once a month and be sure to clean the underside thoroughly when winteris over.
o When cleaning underneath the car,
give particular attention to the com-ponents under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening theaccumulated mud rather than wash- ing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water underhigh pressure and steam are par- ticularly effective in removing accu- mulated mud and corrosive materi-als. o When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members,be sure that drain holes are keptopen so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to ac- celerate corrosion.
E030A01A-AAT WASHING AND WAXING Washing Your Hyundai Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car in the shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abra- sive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Air pollution or acid rain maydamage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are al- lowed to remain in contact with thesurface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust con-

Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items.For more information about doing it yourself, see Section 6. F010F01A-AAT
A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai
serviced, keep copies of the ser- vice records in your glovebox. This will help ensure that you can docu-ment that the required procedures have been performed to keep your warranties in effect. This is espe-cially important when service is not performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own main-
tenance and repairs, you may findit helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of this pub- lication may be purchased at yourHyundai dealer's parts department. F020A01Y-GAT
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Inspection should be performed any time a malfunction is experienced orsuspected. Receipts for all emission control system services should be retained to demonstrate compliancewith conditions of the emissions sys- tem warranty. For severe usage maintenance re-
quirements, see page 5-7 of this sec- tion.

6- 20 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
G110D02A-GAT To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level is checked, thetransaxle fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engine idling. While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and move the gear selectorlever from "P" to each of its other positions -- "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" -- and then return to "N" or "P". With theengine still idling: 3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use
a funnel to add transaxle fluid throughthe dipstick tube until the levelreaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temper-ature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.
C090A03FC
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
HTB164 1. Open the hood, being careful to
keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as faras it will go, then remove it again.Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range on the dipstick.

Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subjected to highpressure even after the engine has been switched off.
