CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4-2
E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage DryDon't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a favorable environment forcorrosion. This is particularly true if you washyour car in the garage or drive it into the garagewhen it is still wet or covered with snow, ice ormud. Even a heated garage can contribute tocorrosion unless it is well ventilated so moistureis dispersed. E020D01A-AAT Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov- ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible toreduce the possibility of corrosion. If bare metal is showing 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 corrosion. Check under themats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean-ing materials or chemicals in the car.These should be carried only in proper contain-ers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up,flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.
E030A01GK-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 inthe shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Airpollution or acid rain may damage the paint andtrim through chemical action if pollutants areallowed to remain in contact with the surface. Ifyou live near the ocean or in an area where roadsalts or dust control chemicals are used, youshould pay particular attention to the undersideof the car. Start by rinsing the car to remove dustand loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driventhrough mud or muddy water, be sure to thor-oughly clean the underside as well. Use a harddirect stream of water to remove accumulationsof mud or corrosive materials. High pressure carwashes may cause water to enter your vehicle.Use a good quality car-washing solution andfollow the manufacturer's directions on the pack-age. These are available at your Hyundai dealeror auto parts outlet. Don't use strong householddetergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abra-sive cleaning powders as these may damage thefinish.Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequentlyand don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard.For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently andremove them a little at a time.To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush orsoapy steel-wool scouring pad.To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean spongeor soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasivecleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces bycleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi-num is subject to corrosion, be sure to givealuminum alloy wheels special attention in win-ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheelsthoroughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking willresult. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it necessary to rinse each sectionimmediately after washing to avoid streaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying thecar is to remove water from the car so it will drywithout water spots. Don't rub, this can damagethe finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corro-sion. To protect the paintwork of the car againstcorrosion, you must clean your Hyundai (at leastonce a month). Give special attention to theremoval of salt, mud and other substances on theunderside of the splashboards of the car. Make

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the
car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth.Use very light finger pressure and be sensitiveto changes in resistance that mark the limits ofthe freeplay. If the freeplay is greater thanspecified, have it inspected by your Hyundaidealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.

o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han- dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driv-en more than 1.6 km or one mile sincestarting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure ofother tires. I050A02GK-GAT
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed onthe front wheels. Be sure that the chains areinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions. Refer to the following information. I060A02GK-GAT
TIRE ROTATION
I040A01S-GAT
SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on the driveside center pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)when your car is equipped with snow tires. Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-evenly between rotations, have the car checkedby a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and besure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING: Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un- der any circumstances. This may cause dan-gerous handling characteristics.
I060A01GK
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not contin-ue to use tire chains when they are no longerneeded. WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use tire chains less than 10mm (0.39 in.) for 16" and 17" tires.
o Avoid sudden stop and turns.
o Tighten firmly to avoid contact with the verticle body, if you have noise caused by chaws contacting the body, removethe chains for damage protection. 15", 16" Tire

TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling
and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but mayneed balancing again during the years you ownthe car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car. I080A01A-AAT
TIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on
worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated oron slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-placed when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slowdown whenever there is rain, snow or ice on theroad.
The original tires on your car have tread wearindicators. The tread wear indicators appearwhen the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). Thetire should be replaced when these appear as asolid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires with those ofthe recommended size. If you change wheels,the new wheel's rim width and offset must meetHyundai specification. I100A01FC-GAT
SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tire and wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Spanner, DriverJack
HGK189
I060A02GK
WARNING: When rotating the 215/45 R17 tires, the tires
must be mounted following the "ROTATION" direction marked on the sidewall of the tires.
If rotating the tires from the left side to the
right side and from the right side to the leftside, separate the wheel from the tire andthen remount them. WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of brakingeffectiveness, steering control and trac-
tion. When replacing tires, never mix ra-dial and bias-ply tires on the same car. Ifyou replace radial tires with bias-ply tires,they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizes may cause unusualhandling characteristics that may causedeath, serious injury or property dam-age.
