F010A01P-GAT In order to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is necessary to perform regular maintenance using the properprocedure. Be sure to maintain your vehicle in compliance with any perti- nent environmental pollution controlregulations.Carefully select the materials to beused for washing, etc., to be sure thatthey do not contain corrosives; if in doubt, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance in the selectionof these materials. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sun-
light.
Park the vehicle in the shade and
spray it with water to remove dust.Next, using an ample amount of cleanwater and a vehicle washing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom.
Use a mild vehicle washing soap if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipedry with a soft cloth. After washing the vehicle (including washing in an auto- matic vehicle wash), carefully cleanthe joints and flanges of the doors, hood, etc., where dirt is likely to re- main.
F010C01P-GAT
Waxing
Waxing the vehicle will help preventthe adherence of dust and road chemi-cals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after washing the vehicle, and apply wax at least once every threemonths. F010D01P-GAT
Polishing
The vehicles should only be polished if
the paintwork has become stained or lost its luster. Mat-finish parts and plastic bumpers must not be polished;polishing these parts will stain them or damage their finish.
F010E01P-GAT
Wheels
The wheels are painted and, therefore,
require the same care and mainte- nance as the vehicle body.
F010F01P-GAT
Chrome parts
In order to prevent spots and corrosion
of chrome parts, wash with water, drythoroughly, and apply a special protec-tive coating. This should be done move frequently in the winter.
F010B01P-GAT Washing Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from the road surface can damage the paint coat and body of your vehicle if left in prolonged con-tact.Frequent washing is the best way toprotect your vehicle from this damage. This will also be effective in protecting it from environmental elements suchas rain, snow, salt air, etc.

Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned using only a sponge and wa- ter. Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry with aclean, dry, soft cloth.Never use the same cloth to wipe thewindow glass as would be used towipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparency andvisibility. F010H01P-GAT
Wiper blades
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper blades. Replace thewiper blades when they no longer wipe properly. F010I01P-GAT
Chassis and underbody protec- tion
Your vehicle’s underbody has been
treated at the factory in order to pro- tect it from rust and corrosion. Some areas have been injected with anti-corrosion agents and wax. The effectiveness of these measures,
however, will be reduced by flyingstones, road chemicals, etc., as the vehicle is driven.
Have the underbody checked regularly
(autumn and spring) and have addi- tional protection treatment carried outas required. As not all of the commer- cially available materials are suitable for use on your vehicle, it is recom-mended that you have this work done at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When washing the vehicle, especially
in winter, spray the underbody withwater to remove dirt and dust which might contain salts, road chemicals,etc. F010K01P-GAT Upholstery and Interior To maintain the value of your new vehicle, handle the upholstery care- fully and keep the interior clean. Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleanedwith an appropriate cleaner, and cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either up- holstery cleaner or a 3% solution ofneutral detergent in lukewarm water.Clean the carpeting with a vacuumcleaner and remove any stains withcarpet cleaner.Oil and grease can be removed bylightly dabbing with a clean colorfast cloth and benzene or spot remover.

F010L01P-GAT Damaged paint Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up assoon as possible with HYUNDAI paint pencil or spray paint to prevent corro- sion. Check body areas facing theroad or the tires especially carefully for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. The paint code num-ber for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate. F010M01P-GAT
Tar
If tar becomes adhered to the vehicle, use special tar remover to remove it as soon as possible. If the tar leaves a stain, polish the affected area. F010N01P-GAT
Plastic and rubber parts
Use a soft cloth and wash with water.
If necessary, a cleaning agent spe- cially designed for plastics can beused. If engine oil, brake fluid, battery fluid, etc., comes in contact with these parts, wash promptly with water andthen use alcohol to remove the stain completely. F010O01P-GAT
Load weight and driving speed
Remove any luggage, etc., which is not necessary from the vehicle. The load weight placed on the roof or towed in a trailer also should not be exces-sive.Correctly adjusting the air pressure ofthe tires before driving under maxi- mum load weight conditions and be- fore driving long distances is espe-cially important. F010Q01P-GAT
Kerb parking
If the tires strike a kerb or concrete parking barrier, they could be dam-aged, and this damage could become a source of extreme danger when the vehicle is subsequently driven at highspeed. If the vehicle is to be driven or onto a kerb or any other such barrier, it should be driven slowly and at anappropriate angle to the kerb or barrier.
F010J01P-GAT Engine compartment Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and end of winter. Pay particualr attention to flanges, crev- ices, and peripheral parts where dustcontaining road chemicals and other corrosive materials might collect. If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in your area, clean the en- gine compartment at least every threemonths.

Tire replacement
Tires which do not meet the size specifications must not be used. Re- placement of the tires must be made as a set of the two front tires, the tworear tires, or all four tires.A mixture of bias-ply tires and radialtires must not be used. Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer regarding tire replacement.
F010R01P-GAT
Tire care
For driving safely, and in order to
obtain the maximum useful life of thetires, the following points should be observed. For information concerning inspection, air pressure, and rotationof the tires, refer to the part which deals with wheels in the section of this manual entitled "Consumer Informa-tion". F010S01P-GAT
Tire air pressure
The air pressure of the tires mustalways be maintained in accordance with the specifications, and should be measured when the tires are cool.If any changes in driving conditions(speed and/or load weight) occur, theair pressure of the tires must meet the specifications which apply to the new driving conditions. If the vehicle isgoing to be driven under varying load weight, etc., the air pressure must be adjusted in order to meet the highestspecifications of the conditions under which the vehicle is driven (high speeds and maximum load weight). F010T01P-GAT Tire storage Storage of the tires should be in a dark, well-ventilated place.Tires not mounted on rims should bestored vertically. Be sure that the tires are not in contact with fuel, oil grease, etc.
