CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4-1
E020B01A-AATKeep Your Car Clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep
your car clean and free of corrosive materials.
Attention to the underside of the car is particu-
larly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area — where
road salts are used, near the ocean, areas
with industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.—,
you should take extra care to prevent corro-
sion. In winter, hose off the underside of
your car at least once a month and be sure
to clean the underside thoroughly when win-
ter is over.
o When cleaning underneath the car, give
particular attention to the components under
the fenders and other areas that are hidden
from view. Do a thorough job; just dampen-
ing the accumulated mud rather than wash-
ing it away will accelerate corrosion rather
than prevent it. Water under high pressure
and steam are particularly effective in re-
moving accumulated mud and corrosive
materials.
o When cleaning lower door panels, rocker
panels and frame members, be sure that
drain holes are kept open so that moisture
can escape and not be trapped inside to ac-
celerate corrosion.

CORROSION PROTECTION
Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro-
sion
By using the most advanced design and con-
struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundai
produces cars of the highest quality, However,
this is only part of the job. To achieve the long-
term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can
deliver, the owner’s cooperation and assistance
is also required.
4. CORROSION PRE-
VENTION AND AP-
PEARANCE CAREtection is particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated corrosion are
road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air
and industrial pollution.
E010B01A-AAT
Common Causes of CorrosionThe most common causes of corrosion on your
car are:
o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed
to accumulate underneath the car.
o Removal of paint or protective coatings by
stones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapes
and dents which leave unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.
E010C01A-AAT
High-Corrosion AreasIf you live in an area where your car is regularly
exposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro-
E010D01A-AAT
Moisture Breeds Corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-
sion is most likely to occur. For example, cor-
rosion is accelerated by high humidity, particu-
larly when temperatures are just above freez-
ing. In such conditions, the corrosive material is
kept in contact with the car surfaces by mois-
ture that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slow
to dry and holds moisture in contact with the
vehicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, it
can still retain the moisture and promote corro-
sion.
High temperatures can also accelerate corro-
sion of parts that are not properly ventilated so
the moisture can be dispersed. For all these
reasons, it is particularly important to keep your
car clean and free of mud or accumulations of
other materials. This applies not only to the
visible surfaces but particularly to the underside
of the car.
E020A01A-AATTO HELP PREVENT CORROSION
You can help prevent corrosion from getting
started by observing the following:

Check the air conditioning lines and connec-
tions for leakage and damage. Check air condi-
tioning performance according to the relevant
shop manual if necessary.F070M01A-AATo Steering gear box, linkage & boots/
lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off, check
for excessive free-play in the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or damage. Check
the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration,
cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged parts.
F060N01E-AAT

G140B01A-AATChecking the Air Conditioning Opera-
tion
1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioning set
at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is
not cold, have the air conditioning system
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:Running the air conditioning system for
extended periods of time with a low refriger-
ant level may damage the compressor.
G140C01A-AAT
LubricationTo lubricate the compressor and the seals in
the system, the air conditioning should be run
for at least 10 minutes each week. This is
particularly important during cool weather when
the air conditioning system is not otherwise in
use.
G140D01A-AATChecking the Compressor Drive Belt
When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be
checked at least once a month with the engine
turned off.
To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaft
and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your
finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt
anymore than 1/3 of an inch. If you have the
instruments to check it, with a force of 22 lb.
(98N), the deflection should be 0.315 inches
(approx 8.0 mm). If the belt is too loose, have it
adjusted by your Hyundai dealer. accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc.
These can interfere with maximum cooling effi-
ciency. When removing such accumulations,
brush or hose them away carefully to avoid
bending the cooling fins.

To Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT

reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or moisture.
NOTE:Do not allow any other liquids to contami-
nate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
WARNING:Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if you get it in your
eyes. It will also damage your vehicle’s paint
if spilled on it and not removed immediately.

Keeping the Condenser Clean

radiator) should be checked periodically for
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing other un-
der hood services. The system should be
checked for leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level
is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level
markings on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required.
Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system
which should be inspected and repaired imme-
diately. Consult your Hyundai dealer.

FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper-
ate even when the engine is not running.
Use extreme caution when working near the
blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not
injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-
gine coolant temperature decreases the fan
will automatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
G210A01A-AATCHECKING THE BATTERY
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When working
with batteries, carefully observe the follow-
ing precautions to avoid serious injuries.
The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu-
tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and
highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it on
yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on
yourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your
eyes with water and get medical assistance
as soon as possible. While you are being
driven to get medical assistance, continue
to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft
cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large
quantity of water or milk followed by milk of
magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable
oil. Get medical assistance as soon as
possible.
While batteries are being charged (either by a
battery charger or by the vehicle’s generator),
they produce explosive gases. Always observe
these warnings to prevent injuries from occur-
