wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at
speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h)
and for more than 15 miles (25 km). Be
sure the steering is unlocked by plac-
ing the key in the "ACC" position. A

E030B01A-AATSpot CleaningDon't use gasoline, strong solvents or
corrosive cleaning agents. These can
damage the finish of the car. To remove
road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft
cloth. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use
warm water and mild soap or car-wash-
ing solution. Soak the spot and rub gen-
tly. If the paint has lost its luster, use a
commercial car-cleaning polish.E030C01A-AATPolishing and WaxingAlways wash and dry the car before pol-
ishing or waxing or using a combination
cleaner and wax. Use a good quality
commercial product and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the con-
tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim
pieces as well as the paint.
E030D01A-AATWhen to Wax AgainYou should polish and wax the car again
when water no longer beads on a clean
surface but spreads out over a larger
area.E030E01A-AATMaintaining BumpersSpecial precautions must be observed to
preserve the appearance of the bumpers
on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electro-
lyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the
bumpers. If you do, wash it off imme-
diately with clean water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of soft plastic
and the surface can be damaged if
mistreated. Do not use abrasive clean-
ers. Use warm water and mild soap or
carwashing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. For example, if you have
your car repainted, do not leave the
bumpers on the car if the car is going
to be placed in a high-temperature
paint booth.
!
CAUTION:
OJB037800
o Water washing in the engine com-
partment including high pressure
water washing may cause the failure
of electrical circuits located in the
engine compartment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS2
MAINTENANCE INTERVALSF010B01A-AATMaintenance RequirementsThe maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main
areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenanceF010A01A-AATService RequirementsTo ensure that you receive the greatest
number of miles of satisfying operation
from your Hyundai, certain maintenance
procedures must be performed. Although
careful design and engineering have re-
duced these to a minimum, those that are
required are of the utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these
maintenance procedures performed to
comply with the terms of the warranties
covering your new Hyundai. The Owner's
Handbook supplied with your new ve-
hicle provides further information about
these warranties.
F010D01A-AATGeneral ChecksThese are the regular checks you should
perform when you drive your Hyundai or
you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items
will be found on page 6-3.
F010C01A-AATSpecified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as in-
spections, adjustments and replacements
that are listed in the maintenance charts
starting on page 5-4. These procedures
must be performed at the intervals shown
in the maintenance schedule to assure
that your warranty remains in effect. Al-
though it is strongly recommended that
they be performed by the factory-trained
or distributor-trained technicians at your
Hyundai dealer, these procedures may
be performed at any qualified service
facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai
service parts be used for any required
repairs or replacements. Other parts of
equivalent quality such as engine oil,
engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle
oil, brake fluid and so on which are not
supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affect-
ing your warranty coverage but you should
always be sure these are equivalent to
the quality of the original Hyundai parts.
Your Owner's Handbook provides further
information about your warranty cover-
age.
F010E01A-AATDo-It-Yourself MaintenanceIf you are mechanically inclined, own a
few tools that are required and want to
take the time to do so, you can inspect
and service a number of items. For more
information about doing it yourself, see
Section 6.
