When the release valve is difficult to turn by
jack handle, connect the wheel brace to the jack handle. CAUTION:
(1) Use only the jack included with the ve- hicle and use it only for changing a wheeland for installing tyre chains.
(2) Position the jack on a hard, level surface.
(3) If the release valve is loosened by turn- ing it 2 or more times in the counter- clockwise direction, the jack's oil willleak and the jack cannot be used.
(4) This jack is hydraulic, and the ram is a two stage type. When both rams areraised and the stop mark of the upperram becomes visible, stop jacking imme-diately.
WARNING:Do not get under the car when it is support-ed by the jack! This is very dangerous as thevehicle could fall and cause serious injuryor death. No one should stay in the carwhilst the jack is being used.

AFTER CHANGING WHEELS
If you have a tyre gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to thenearest service station and inflate to the correctpressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it iscorrect. Always reinstall the valve cap afterchecking or adjusting tyre pressure. If the capis not replaced, air may leak from the tyre. If youlose a valve cap, buy another and install it assoon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tyre in its place and return the jack andtools to their proper storage locations. D080A02A-EAT

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS
Information about the key of immobiliser sys-
tem will be found on page 1-2. For emergency towing when no commercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,chain or strap to one of the towing hooks underthe front of your car. Be very careful whenattempting this procedure when the vehicle ison any unpaved surface to avoid damage toyour vehicle. Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are dam-aged. Before towing, be sure the transmissionis in neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with theengine off) or in the "ON" position (with theengine running). A driver must be in the towedcar to steer it and operate the brakes. NOTE: To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve- hicle, limit the towing to 10 mph (15 km/h)and not for more than 1 mile (1.5 km) at ANYTIME.

APPEARANCE CARE 4-1
NOTE: The underbody should never be steam
cleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process.
During the interim period between power
washing the underbody, the more vulnera-ble areas such as wheelarches should behosed off, particularly during the winter sea-son to prevent prolonged contact of roadsalt with the body.
Ensure that the various drain points located
at bottom of the door panels are kept clear,to prevent water becoming trapped withinthe cavities. Wherever possible, the parkingof the vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilat-ed location (e.g.) garage should be avoidedwhen the vehicle is wet or covered withsnow or ice. Under these conditions, theinternal cavities of the vehicle will remaindamp for long periods of time which en-courage corrosion. Parking the vehicle wheregood ventilation exists is preferable. JE050A1-E
VALETING
Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves
two important functions. Firstly, the removal ofabrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain thelustre of the paintwork and will preventdiscolouration and dulling due to prolonged con-tact.
Secondly, the presence of damage through
impact or abrasion will be apparent allowingearly rectification to be made thus preventingcorrosion from becoming established andspreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "wa-ter spotting" the vehicle should not be washedin direct sunlight particularly in the case ofvehicles having dark body colours. The heatfrom the sun rays is absorbed by the paint filmincreasing the surface temperature. This actioncauses water used for washing to evaporatequickly leaving behind the deposits from thewater and the shampoo used.
Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose
and ensure that the body work is thoroughlywetted to soften the dirt film prior to attemptingto remove this.
After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge,
the body work should be thoroughly rinsed andthen dried with a good quality chamois leatherto prevent streaking or spotting of the paintwork. Household detergents, solvents and abrasive
cleaning materials should not be used in orderto avoid damaging the paint film.

APPEARANCE CARE
In using the most advanced design and con-
struction practices, every Hyundai is built to retain its original factory finish for many years.However, long term durability is also greatlydependant upon maintaining the various pro-tection systems and coatings used in manufac-ture since constant exposure to the elementswill eventually result in their breakdown andloss of effectiveness. The following sugges-tions are made to assist in the maintenance ofthe vehicle bodywork.
ZE020B1-E
Underbody Coatings Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full
underbody and cavity injection treatment duringproduction. In order that this treatment mayretain maximum effectiveness, it is recommend-ed that the underbody receives a power washand a thorough inspection after each winterseason. In doing so any accumulations of mud,which act as moisture traps and combine withroad salts to accelerate corrosion, will be re-moved. Should any damage to or deteriorationof the underbody coating be apparent, the ad-vice of a Hyundai dealer regarding the use of acompatible repair material should be sought. ZE020C1-E
Interior During the winter period, it is possible that the
carpet within the passenger compartment maybecome wet. The carpet should not be allowedto remain in this condition for prolonged periodssince the carpet may begin to create mustysmells and promote internal corrosion of thefloorpan.

POLISHING
The exterior paint work should be polished with
a proprietary wax polish when water no longer collects in bead form on the paint work. Theinstructions of the product manufacturer shouldbe adhered to. JE120A1-E
WINDOWS A proprietary glass cleaner should be used toclean the inside of the windows. However, therear heated windscreen must only be cleanedusing a light horizontal cleaning action. Careshould be exercised to avoid the use of abra-sive cleaners or contact with items of jewellerywhich may damage the heating elements.
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a
sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should becleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent.Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lacquer coat-ing, oxidisation of the aluminium wheel willoccur, spoiling the appearance.
The use of a toothbrush will facilitate cleaning
between the wheel "spokes". and ensure that accidental spillages are imme-diately flushed with water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials whichmay damage the bumpers.Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera-tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaint ovens. JE110A1-E
INTERIOR VALETING
The soft trim and carpets should be maintainedwith the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavysoiling should be removed with a dry cleaningagent recommended for this purpose followingthe instructions of the product manufacturer.Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaningmaterials should not be used since damage tothe upholstery may result.
JE060A1-E
STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be
difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentineor a proprietary paint cutting compound may beused. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is notrubbed intensively to prevent breaking throughthe colour coat and exposing the under coat.
JE080A1-E
BUMPER MAINTENANCE The special material from which the bumpers
are manufactured warrants special attention topreserve the appearance of the bumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid JE090A1-E
ACCIDENT REPAIRS
In the event of the body work sustaining dam-age, the following points should be noted priorto repairs being undertaken. If body panels are replaced or repaired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to therepair area. The product used must be compat-ible with those used in manufacture. It is recom-mended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundaidealer to ensure that replacement parts usedare of the same high quality as those used inmanufacture of the vehicle and that the correctrepair methods and materials will ensure ade-quate levels of corrosion protection and thecontinued validity of the Anti Perforation War-ranty. JE100A1-E
SEAT BELTS
Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong detergents, solvens orbleaches may damage the belt webbing andtherefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt.Belts which display signs of fraying, wear or cutshould be replaced.

To Clean Leather Upholstery
(Not all models) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered
surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. This dust and dirt MUST be cleaned off orit may work into the surface of the leather,causing damage.
Fine leather needs care. This care, as with all
fine things, need not be elaborated, but shouldinclude cleaning when necessary. Washingleather thoroughly with soap and water willkeep your leather lustrous, beautiful and ensureyou have many years of wear.
Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any
mild soap and lukewarm water, work up a goodlather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe cleanwith a slightly damp cloth and dry with softcloth. Do this as often as the leather becomessoiled. During tanning operations, sufficient oils are
incorporated through processing that none needbe applied during the life of the leather. Oilapplied to the finished surface will in no wayhelp the leather and may do more harm thangood. Varnished and furniture polishes shouldNEVER be used under any conditions.
