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 byplacing the key in the "ACC" posi-tion.
9. Reinstall wheel cap by fitting the
boss of the wheel cap in the grooveof the wheel, hitting the centre of the wheel cap with your hand. (If Installed)

CAUTION:
o When towing the vehicle, take care not to cause damage to the bumper or underbody of the vehicle.
o Do not tow with sling type truck as this may cause damage to thebumper or underbody of the ve- hicle.

1) If the vehicle is being towed with the
rear wheels on the ground, be sure the hand brake is released.
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is be- low the "HOT" range on the dipstick,add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.
2) If any of the loaded wheels or sus- pension components are damaged or the vehicle is being towed with thefront wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
o Manual Transaxle: If you do not use a towing dolly, placethe ignition key in the "ACC" position and put the transaxle in "N (Neutral)".
CAUTION:
Do not tow with the key removed orin the "LOCK" position when towing from the rear without a towing dolly.

o Automatic Transaxle:
Be sure to use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
CAUTION:
A vehicle with an automatic transaxle should never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground.This can cause serious damage to the transaxle.
3) It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with all the wheels off the ground.
D080D01MC-DAT EMERGENCY TOWING For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface.
OMC045016 This could result in serious damage to your car.Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, besure the transaxle is in neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the enginerunning). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes. NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is be- low the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, atowing dolly must be used.

!CAUTION: - Automatic Transaxle
o If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neu- tral. Be sure the steering is un-locked by placing the ignition switch in the ACC position. A driver must be in the towed vehicle tooperate the steering and brakes.
o To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transaxle, limit the ve-hicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing.

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.

3TO HELP PREVENT CORRO- SION
E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage Dry Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a fa-vorable 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 ga- rage can contribute to corrosion un-less it is well ventilated 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 possi- bility of corrosion. If bare metal is show- ing through, the attention of a qualifiedbody and paint shop is recommended. E020E01A-DAT Don't Neglect the Interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corro- sion. Check under the mats periodi- cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertilisers, cleaning materials or chemicals in the car.These should be carried only in proper containers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up immediately,flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.
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 corro- sion. In winter, hose off the under-side of your car at least once a month and be sure to clean the underside thoroughly when winteris over.
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 the accumulated mud rather thanwashing it away will accelerate cor- rosion rather than prevent it. Water under high pressure and steam areparticularly effective in removing accumulated mud and corrosive ma- terials.
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.
