4-3 doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by
small accumulation of tar, industrial precipita-
tion, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when
not removed immediately. If water alone is not
strong enough to remove the accumulated dirt,
use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse
the surface after washing to remove the solution.
Never allow the solution to dry on the painted
surfaces.

water no longer beads on a clean surface but
spreads out over a larger area.

Maintaining Bumpers Maintaining BumpersMaintaining Bumpers Maintaining Bumpers
Maintaining BumpersSpecial precautions must be observed to pre-
serve the appearance of the bumpers on your
Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or
hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you
do, wash it off immediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur-
faces. They are made of soft plastic and the
surface can be damaged if mistreated. Do not
use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water and
mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem-
peratures. For example, if you have your car
repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the
car if the car is going to be placed in a high-
temperature paint booth.

To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery
To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose
dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply
a solution of mild soap or detergent and water
using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe
with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt
stains are not removed, repeat this procedure
until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gasoline,
solvent, paint thinner or other strong cleaners.

Spot Cleaning Spot CleaningSpot Cleaning Spot Cleaning
Spot CleaningDon't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive
cleaning agents. These can damage the finish of
the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on a
clean, soft cloth or commercially available bug
and tar remover. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm
water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost
its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.

Polishing and WaxingAlways wash and dry the car before polishing or
waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax.
Use a good quality commercial product and
follow the manufacturer's directions on the con-
tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as
well as the paint.

Cleaning the Seat BeltsTo clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge
with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do
not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra-
sive materials on the seat belts as this may
weaken the fabric.
While cleaning the belts, inspect them for exces-
sive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of damage
and replace them if necessary.

Cleaning the Carpets Cleaning the CarpetsCleaning the Carpets Cleaning the Carpets
Cleaning the CarpetsUse a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners of this
type are available in aerosol cans in liquid form or
powder. Read the instructions and follow them
exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the appro-
priate attachment, remove as much dirt from the
carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the
manufacturer's directions, then rub in overlap-
ping circles. Do not add water. These cleaners
work best when the carpet is kept as dry as
possible.
