WARNING:
Never work underneath the vehicle when it is supported by a jack. The jack is intended for use when wheelchanging only and no other pur- pose. When undertaking other main- tenance operations, a suitable jackand body supports must be used before any work commences. Seri- ous personal injury may result if thiswarning is ignored.

IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED
D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your vehicle is notdamaged in towing. Also, professionals are generally aware of local laws gov- erning towing. In any case, rather thanrisk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safetychain system is used and that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehicle betowed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground.
! CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be
sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" posi- tion.
9. Refit the wheel trim.
10. Return the jack, tool and spare wheel
in its original position.
11. As soon as possible, check the wheel nut torque and adjust to the specification listed below:
Wheel nut tightening torque 900 ~ 1,100 kg.cm (65 ~ 80 lb.ft)

to one of the towing hooks under the front/rear of your car. Do not attempt totow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface. This could result in serious damage toyour car. Towing should not be at- tempted if the wheels, drive train, ax- les, steering or brakes are damaged.Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position(with the engine running). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes. (1)To open the towing cover, push it with your finger.
(2)To mount the towing hook, rotate it
clockwise. (3)Attach a tow cable, chain or strap to
the towing hook on the rear bumper.
NOTE:
o To avoid serious damage to your 4WD vehicle, limit the towing to 15 km/h (10 mph) and not for morethan 1.5 km (1 mile) at ANY TIME.
o Before towing, check the level of
the automatic transaxle fluid. If itis below the 75°C range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must beused.
!
! CAUTION
It should be tightened firmly with your fingers until there is no more play in the towing hole. Towing hook is located in the luggage compart-ment. CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be surethat the transaxle is in neutral. If your vehicle is equipped with the auto- matic transaxle, do not tow at speedsgreater than 50 km/h (30 mph) and for more than 25 km (15 miles). Be sure the steering is unlocked byplacing the key in the "ACC" posi- tion. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steering andbrakes.
! CAUTION:
The vehicle brakes have no power assistance when the engine is not running and the brake pedal willrequire very high pressure to stop the vehicle.

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 the longterm corrosion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required. 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 are road salts,dust control chemicals, ocean air and industrial pollution.
E010B01A-AAT Common Causes of Corrosion The most common causes of corrosion 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 leaveunprotected metal exposed to corro- sion. 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 material is kept in contact with the car surfacesby moisture that is slow to evaporate. Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protection because it is slow to dry andholds moisture in contact with the ve- hicle. Even though the mud appears to be dry, it can still retain the moistureand promote corrosion. High temperatures can also acceleratecorrosion of parts that are not properlyventilated so the moisture can be dis- persed. For all these reasons, it is particularly important to keep your carclean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. This applies not only on the visible surfaces but particularlyto the underside of the car.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
3TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION
E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage Dry Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a favor-able environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash your car in the garage or drive it into the garagewhen it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to corrosion unless it is wellventilated so moisture is dispersed. E020D01A-AAT Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition Scratches or chips in the finish should be covered with "touch-up" paint assoon as possible to reduce the possibil- ity of corrosion. If bare metal is showing through, the attention of a qualifiedbody and paint shop is recommended.
o When cleaning underneath the car,
give particular attention to the com-ponents under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening theaccumulated mud rather than wash- ing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water underhigh pressure and steam are particu- larly effective in removing accumu- lated mud and corrosive materials.
o When cleaning lower door panels, rocker panels and frame members,be sure that drain holes are keptopen so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to ac- celerate corrosion.
E020A01A-AAT You can help prevent corrosion from getting started by observing the follow- ing: E020B01A-AAT Keep Your Car Clean The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your car clean and free of corro- sive materials. Attention to the under- side of the car is particularly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the ocean, areas with industrial pollu- tion, acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra care to prevent corrosion.In winter, hose off the underside of your car at least once a month and be sure to clean the underside thor-oughly when winter is over.
