4WASHING AND WAXING
E030A04HR-GAT Washing Your Hyundai Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Alwayswash your car in the shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abra- sive and can scratch the paint if it is notremoved. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are al-lowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust controlchemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside of the car. Start by rinsing the car toremove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly clean theunderside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumula- tions of mud or corrosive materials.Use a good quality car-washing solu- tion and follow the manufacturer's di- rections on the package. These areavailable at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong house- hold detergents, gasoline, strong sol-vents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish. Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finishby rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time.To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soapy steel-wool scouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use aclean sponge or soft cloth and water. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car against corrosion,you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special attention to the removal of salt, mud and othersubstances on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the underside of thedoors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, in-sects and bird droppings, when not removed immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accu-mulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution.Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.
CAUTION:
!
o Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressure water washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located in the engine compartment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.
o Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle. Espe-cially, with high-pressure water,water may leak through the win- dows and wet the interior.

E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads ona clean surface but spreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to preserve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery elec- trolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off im- mediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper surfaces. They are made of softplastic and the surface can be dam- aged if mistreated. Do not use abra-sive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high temperatures. For example, if youhave your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if thecar is going to be placed in a high- temperature paint booth.
E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These candamage the finish of the car. To re- move road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth or commercially avail-able bug and tar remover. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaningpolish.
E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combi- nation cleaner and wax. Use a good quality commercial product and followthe manufacturer's directions on the container. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as well as the paint.CLEANING THE INTERIOR
E040A01A-AAT 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 gaso- line, solvent, paint thinner or otherstrong cleaners. E040B01HR-AAT To Clean the Leather Upholstery
CAUTION:
When cleaning leather products (steering wheel, seats etc.), use neu- tral detergents or low alcohol con- tent solutions. If you use high alco-hol content solutions or acid/alka- line detergents, the color of the leather may fade or the surface may getstripped off.
!
o To prevent damage to the plastic
parts, do not clean with chemical solvents or strong detergents.
