4- 6 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
E040C01A-AAT Cleaning the Carpets Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Clean- ers of this type are available in aerosol cans in liquid form or powder. Read the instructions and follow them exactly.Using a vacuum cleaner with the ap- propriate attachment, remove as much dirt from the carpets as possible. Applythe foam following the manufacturer's directions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water. These clean-ers work best when the carpet is kept as dry as possible.
E040B01A-DAT To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If installed) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. Thisdust and dirt must be cleaned off or it may work into the surface of the leather, causing damage. Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned when necessary. Washingleather thoroughly with soap and water will keep your leather lustrous, beautiful and ensure you have many years ofusage. Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mild soap and lukewarm water,work up a good lather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry with a softcloth. Do this as often as possible as the leather becomes soiled. Consult your Hyundai dealer for recom-mended leather treatment products.
During tanning operations, sufficient oils are incorporated through process- ing that none need be applied duringthe life of the leather. Oil applied to the finished surface will in no way help the leather and may do more harm thangood. Varnishes and furniture polishes should never be used under any condi- tions.
E040A01A-AAT CLEANING THE INTERIOR To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery To clean the vinyl upholstery, first re- move loose dirt and dust with a vacuumcleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not re-moved, repeat this procedure until the upholstery is clean. Do not use petrol, solvent, paint thinner or other strong cleaners.

You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and thenhold it down with a force of about 50 kg (490 N, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the topsurface of the brake pedal to the as- phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is notwithin the limits specified in the illustra- tion, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-essary.G170A01A-GAT CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL FREEPLAY With the engine off, press down on the brake pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the brake booster.Then, using your hand, press down slowly on the brake pedal until you feel a change in resistance.

G200B01E-DAT Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found in the backside of multi box located in the right side of driver. Inside the box youwill find a list showing the circuits pro- tected by each fuse. HTB180-D
HTB223
If any of your car’s lights or other electrical accessories stop working, a blown fuse could be the reason. If thefuse has burned out, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has burned through. If you suspect a blownfuse, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the fuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out. 4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing
a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an acces- sory you can temporarily get along without (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Always remember to replace the borrowed fuse.

G210B01Y-GAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery posts orterminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery terminalsare dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:
Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes andall other flames or sparks away from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highlycombustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited.Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly cor-rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to con- tact your skin, eyes, cloth-ing or paint finish. o Never attempt to charge the bat-
tery when the battery cables areconnected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.Never touch these componentswith the engine running or the ignition switched on.
