2CORROSION PROTECTION
E010A01A-AAT Protecting Your Hyundai from Corrosion By using the most advanced design and construction practices to combatcorrosion, Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve thelong-term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's co- operation and assistance is also re-quired. E010C01A-AAT High-Corrosion Areas If you live in an area where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive materi-als, corrosion protection is particularly important. Some of the common causes of accelerated corrosion areroad salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air and industrial pollution.
E010B01A-AAT Common Causes of Corrosion The most common causes of corro- sion on your car are:
o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to accumulate underneath the car.
o Removal of paint or protective coat- ings by stones, gravel, abrasion orminor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to cor-rosion. E010D01A-AAT Moisture Breeds Corrosion Moisture creates the conditions in which corrosion is most likely to occur. For example, corrosion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when tem-peratures are just above freezing. In such conditions, the corrosive mate- rial is kept in contact with the carsurfaces by moisture that is slow to evaporate. Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slow to dry and holds moisture incontact with the vehicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, it can still retain the moisture and promote corrosion.High temperatures can also acceler- ate corrosion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisturecan be dispersed. For all these rea- sons, it is particularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud oraccumulations of other materials. This applies not only to the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of thecar.

4REGULAR SERVICING
F030A01A-DAT An odometer reading or time interval determines when service is necessary. For most people, the odometer reading will indicate when service is needed. If, however, you drive very little, your vehicle should be serviced at least every 12 months. Under severe driving conditions, more frequent maintenance is required.

Note : (1) When adding coolant, use only a qualified coolant additive for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
(2) At first, replace at 100,000 km or 60 months : after that, replace every 40,000 km or 24 months. * For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval when you do maintenance of other items.

8CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER
G070A03Y-AAT
The replacement of air cleaner filter is performed in the following manner.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
2. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place.
Genuine Hyundai replacement parts arerecommended.
!! CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill cool- ant on the car, wash it off thor- oughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has aluminium engine parts and mustbe protected by an ethylene-gly-col base coolant to prevent corro- sion and freezing. Do not use hard (tap) water. Hardwater can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that youare not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will auto-matically shut off. This is a normal condition.
