SE040C1-E Polishing The exterior paint work should be pol- ished with a proprietary wax polish when water no longer collects in bead form onthe paint work. The instructions of the product manufacturer should be ad- hered to.
SE040A1-E Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves two important func- tions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain thelustre of the paintwork and will prevent discolouration and dulling due to pro- longed contact.Secondly, the presence of damage through impact or abrasion will be ap- parent allowing early rectification to bemade thus preventing corrosion from becoming established and spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "waterspotting" the vehicle should not be washed in direct sunlight particularly in the case of vehicles having dark bodycolours. The heat from the sun rays is absorbed by the paint film increasing the surface temperature. This actioncauses water used for washing to evaporate quickly leaving behind the deposits from the water and the sham-poo used. Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose and ensure that the body workis 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 thor-oughly rinsed and then dried with a good quality chamois leather to prevent streak- ing or spotting of the paint work.Household detergents, solvents and abra- sive cleaning materials should not be used in order to avoid damaging the paint film.Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should be cleaned using a mildsoap or neutral detergent. 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 facilitatecleaning between the wheel "spokes".
SE040B1-E Stain/Spot Removal Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be difficult to remove from thepaint film, turpentine or a proprietary paint cutting compound may be used. Ensure that the area to be cleaned isnot rubbed intensively to prevent break- ing through the colour coat and expos- ing the under coat.

SE040F1-E In 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 ap- plied to the repair area. The product used must be compatible with thoseused in manufacture. It is recommended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer to ensure that re-placement parts used are of the same high quality as those used in manufac- ture of the vehicle and that the correctrepair methods and materials will en- sure adequate levels of corrosion pro- tection and the continued validity of theAnti Perforation Warranty.
SE040E1-E The special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrants special attention to preserve the ap- pearance of the bumpers. Avoid con-tact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid and ensure that accidental spill- ages are immediately flushed with wa-ter. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials which may damage the bumpers.Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high temperatures such as may be encoun- tered in high bake paint ovens.
ACCIDENT REPAIRS
SE050A1-E During the winter period, it is possible that the passenger compartment floor- ing may become wet from damp foot- wear or quantities of snow adhering tofootwear. The carpet should not be allowed to remain in this condition since the carpet may begin to create mustysmells and will promote corrosion of the floor pan in addition to the carpet and under felt beginning to rot.
INTERIOR
SE050C1-E Interior Valeting The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of avacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling should be removed with a dry cleaning agent recommended for this purpose follow-ing the instructions of the product manu- facturer. Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaning materials should not beused since damage to the upholstery may result.

SE050D1-E Seat Belts Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong detergents,solvents or bleaches may damage the belt webbing and therefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt. Belts whichdisplay signs of fraying, wear of cuts 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 shouldbe exercised to avoid the use of abra- sive cleaners or contact with items of jewellery which may damage the heat-ing elements.

SERVICE HISTORY
It is important that all scheduled main-
tenance services are recorded in the warranty and service passport to en- sure that proof of maintenance is avail-able when warranty service is required.

Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures
are listed in the maintenance chartsbeginning at page 5-3. The operations specified must be performed at the time or mileage intervals shown irre-spective of whether the mileage inter- val has been reached before the speci- fied time interval.
Certain lubricants and components
degrade with both time and mileage(e.g. engine oil and brake fluid) andtherefore it is not permissable to base the maintenance schedule upon mile- age alone. It is strongly recommendedthat the maintenance operations are
SF020A1-E To ensure the continued reliability and safety of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are requiredat specific mileage or time intervals.It is the responsibility of the vehicleowner to ensure that the maintenanceschedules shown in both this Owners Manual and the Warranty and Service Passport are adhered to.The new vehicle warranty may beinvalidated if the routine maintenanceoperations are not performed in line with the recommendations outlined and the safety and durability of the vehicleadversely affected.It is recommended that all mainte-nance operations with the exception ofthe daily operating checks are en- trusted to a Hyundai authorised re- pairer to ensure that the latest repairand maintenance procedures and specialised servicing tools are em- ployed.In addition, the use of genuine Hyundaireplacement parts will ensure that thevehicle safety and performance will not be compromised.
performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at yourHyundai authorised repairer because of the need for specialised knowledge and tooling and to ensure that nopossibility of invalidating the manufac- turers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to
vehicles operated under normal condi-tions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditions will requiremore frequent maintenance which is described at page 5-6. NOTE:
Service schedules may change de-
pending on individual country needs. Please ask your localHyundai authorised repairer for a copy of the service schedule that relates to that country.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:The inspection and testing of cer-
tain electronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic trans- mission control systems requirespecialised electronic equipment specifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. The use of general pur-pose electrical test equipment may result in damage to the control unit microprocessors.

YF010A2-E In order to ensure continued reliability, safety and longevity, regular maintenance performed at the intervals specified is essential. The maintenance intervals specified are based both on time elapsed and mileage covered since the previous maintenance service was performed. However, under severe operating conditions, certain scheduled operations should be
performed at shorter intervals. Regular maintenance should be entrusted to Hyundai authorised repairer who is best able to provide the expertise required to ensure optimum operational performance. In addition the use of Hyundai replacement parts and service consumables will ensure that the original build quality, operational performance and safety are maintained.
