5. Raising the Car
After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut
wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as shown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jack begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and will not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, it may be necessary to place a stout piece of timber under the base of the jack to prevent it from sinking.
Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare wheel can be installed.
WARNING: Do not get under the car when it is support-
ed by the jack! The jack is solely designedfor wheel changing and is not intended to support the vehicle for other purposes. The use of purpose designed supports is neces- sary whilst the vehicle is raised and the operator is required to get underneath.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-8 The vehicle may be towed by the conven- tional method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point. In addition, a suspended tow with or without an towing dolly may be used with either the front or the rear wheels being suspended, provided the above caution is observed. In addition, the following points must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means, the
ignition key must be at the "ACC" posi- tion, otherwise the steering lock will be activated.
o Because the brake system and steering system power assistance is derived fromthe engine, the amount of effort re- quired to stop or steer the vehicle will be greater than normal.

SD080A1-EVEHICLE TOWING OR RECOVERY
The pressure of the spare tyre should be checked at the first available opportunity. If any doubt exists as to the tyre pressure, the vehicle should be driven slowly to the nearest service station and the tyre pressure checked and adjusted as required. If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves, a replacement should be obtained and fitted at the first available opportunity. The valve cap prevents the ingress of dirt which may cause the valve to stick and therefore leak and is part of the valve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and wheel nut wrench as well tools are correctly located in the boot of the vehicle to prevent damage and noise. CAUTION: An incorrect tow or recovery could result in serious damage to the vehicle. If any damage to the suspension, steering or transaxle is apparent or suspected, a tow- ing towing dolly must be used.

The vehicle may be towed by the conven- tional method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point.In addition, a suspended tow may be given to the front of the vehicle without an towing dolly. In the event of a suspended tow being given to the rear of the vehicle, the use of an towing dolly is imperative. D120A01A-EAT IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS Information about the key of immobiliser sys- tem will be found on page 1-2.
CAUTION:The following restriction must be ob-served in order to avoid serious damage to the transaxle . The vehicle must never be towed from therear with the front wheels on the ground. The vehicle must not be towed until transaxle fluid has been added to bring the level up to the "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (The level will need to be reduced again after towing). The vehicle must not be towed at speedsfaster than 25 mph. or distances greater than fifty miles. The general points regard- ing the steering lock etc. described in the preceding section (Manual transaxle ve- hicle) should be observed.

garding the retreatment programme must be observed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions outlined in the separate Anti Per- foration Warranty Booklet. NOTE: The underbody should never be steamcleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process. During the interim period between powerwashing the underbody, the more vulnera- ble areas such as wheel arches should be hosed off particularly during the winter sea- son to prevent prolonged contact with road salts.Ensure that the various drain points located at the bottom of the door panels and sills are kept clear to prevent water from becom- ing trapped within the cavities. Wherever possible, the parking of the vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilated location (a ga- rage for example) should be avoided when the vehicle is wet or is covered with snow or ice. Under these conditions, the internal cavities of the vehicle will remain damp for prolonged periods of time which will en- courage corrosion. Parking the vehicle where good ventilation exists (outside for example) is preferable.
SE040A1-E VALETING Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves two important functions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain the lustre of the paintwork and will prevent discolouration and dulling due to prolonged con- tact. Secondly, the presence of damage through im- pact or abrasion will be apparent allowing early rectification to be made thus preventing corro- sion from becoming established and spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "water spotting" the vehicle should not be washed in direct sun- light particularly in the case of vehicles having dark body colours. The heat from the sun rays is absorbed by the paint film increasing the surface temperature. This action causes water used for washing to evaporate quickly leaving behind the deposits from the water and the shampoo used. Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose and ensure that the body work is thoroughly wetted to soften the dirt film prior to attempting to remove this. After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge, the body work should be thoroughly rinsed and then dried with a good quality chamois leather to prevent streaking or spotting of the paint work. Household detergents, solvents and abrasive cleaning materials should not be used in order to avoid damaging the paint film.
SE030A1-E UNDERBODY COATINGSEvery Hyundai passenger car receives a full underbody and cavity injection treatment during production. In order that this treatment may retain maximum effectiveness it is recommend- ed that the underbody receives a power wash and a thorough inspection after each winter season. In doing so any accumulations of mud, which act as moisture traps and com- bine with road salts to accelerate corrosion will be removed. In order to maintain the Anti Perforation Warranty, the requirements re-

SE020A1-E PROTECTING YOUR HYUNDAI FROM CORROSION By using the most advanced design and con- struction practices, every Hyundai is built to retain the original factory finish for many years. However, long term durability is also greatly dependant upon maintaining the various protec- tion systems and coatings used in manufacture since constant, exposure to the elements will result in a breakdown and loss of effectiveness. The following suggestions are made to assist in the maintenance of the vehicle bodywork.

APPEARANCE CARE
4-2
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should be cleaned using a mild soap or neutral deter- gent. Abrasive compounds must not be used since in the event of these damaging the lac- quer coating, oxidization of the aluminium wheel will occur, spoiling the appearance. The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate cleaning between the wheel "spokes".
ensure that accidental spillages are immediately flushed with water. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials which may damage the bumpers. Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera- tures such as may be encountered in high bake paint ovens.
SE040B1-E STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentine or a proprietary paint cutting compound may be used. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is not rubbed intensively to prevent breaking through the colour coat and exposing the under coat. SE040C1-E POLISHINGThe exterior paint work should be polished with a proprietary wax polish when water no longer collects in bead form on the paint work. The instructions of the product manufacturer should be adhered to. SE040E1-E BUMPER MAINTENANCEThe special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrants special attention to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers. Avoid contact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid and SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRSIn the event of the body work sustaining damage, the following points should be noted prior to repairs being undertaken. If body panels are replaced or repaired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to the repair area. The product used must be compatible withthose used in manufacture. It is recommended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundai dealer to ensure that replacement parts used are of the same high quality as those used in manufacture of the vehicle and that the correct repair methods and materials will ensure adequate levels of corrosion protection and the continued validity of the Anti Perforation Warranty. SE050A1-E INTERIORDuring the winter period, it is possible that the passenger compartment flooring may become wet from damp footwear or quantities of snow adhering to footwear. The carpet should not be allowed to remain in this condition since the carpet may begin to create musty smells and will
SE050D1-E SEAT BELTS Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong detergents, solvens or bleaches may damage the belt webbing and therefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt. Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cut should be replaced. SE050E1-E WINDOWS A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the windows. However, the rear heated windshield must only be cleaned using a light horizontal cleaning action. Care should be exercised to avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or contact with items of jewellery which may damage the heating elements.
promote corrosion of the floor pan in addition tothe carpet and under felt beginning to rot. SE050C1-E INTERIOR VALETING The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling should be removed with a dry cleaning agent recommended for this purpose following the instructions of the product manufacturer. Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaning materials should not be used since damage to the upholstery may result.

Specified Scheduled Procedures The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5-2. The operations specified must be per-formed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage intervalhas been reached before the specified timeinterval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended thatthe maintenance operations are performed bythe factory-trained or distributor-trained tech-nicians at your Hyundai dealer because of the need for specialized knowledge and toolingand to ensure that no possibility of invalidatingthe manufacturers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to ve-
hicles operated under normal conditions, ve-hicles which are operated under adverseconditions will require more frequent mainte-nance which is described at page 5-5.
SF030B1-E
SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenance
services are recorded in the warranty andservice passport to ensure that proof of main-tenance is available when warranty service isrequired.
