Emergency Towing
For emergency towing when no commercial tow
vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or
strap to one of the tie-down hooks under the front
of your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in
this manner on any unpaved surface. This could
result in serious damage to your car.
Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels,
drive train, axles, steering or brakes are dam-
aged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in
neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine
off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed car to
steer it and operate the brakes.

Keep Your Garage Dry Keep Your Garage DryKeep Your Garage Dry Keep Your Garage Dry
Keep Your Garage DryDon't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated
garage. This creates a favorable environment for
corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash
your car in the garage or drive it into the garage
when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or
mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to
corrosion unless it is well ventilated so moisture
is dispersed.

Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean-

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.

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 abrasive and
can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Air
pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and
trim through chemical action if pollutants are
allowed to remain in contact with the surface. If
you live near the ocean or in an area where road
salts or dust control chemicals are used, you
should pay particular attention to the underside
of the car. Start by rinsing the car to remove dust
and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven
through mud or muddy water, be sure to thor-
oughly clean the underside as well. Use a hard
direct stream of water to remove accumulations
of mud or corrosive materials. Use a good quality
car-washing solution and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the package. These
are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts
outlet. Don't use strong household detergents,
gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning
powders as these may damage the finish.
Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently
and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard.
For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and
remove them a little at a time.To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soapy steel-wool scouring pad.
To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge
or soft cloth and water.
To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild
soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive
cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by
cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi-
num is subject to corrosion, be sure to give
aluminum alloy wheels special attention in win-
ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels
thoroughly afterwards.
After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If
soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will
result.
When the weather is warm and the humidity low,
you may find it necessary to rinse each section
immediately after washing to avoid streaking.
After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois
or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying the
car is to remove water from the car so it will dry
without water spots. Don't rub, this can damage
the 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 against
corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least
once a month). Give special attention to the
removal of salt, mud and other substances on the
underside of the splashboards of the car. Make
sure that the outlets and the underside of the
