! WARNING:

Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that prevents the wheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it.

!

WARNING:

If there is not good contact on the mounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could loosen and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

After Changing Wheels

D060J02MC If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recom- mended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the cor- rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not re- placed, air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible. After you have changed wheels, al- ways secure the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

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 not dam- aged in towing. Also, professionals are generally aware of local laws governing towing. In any case, rather than risk dam- age to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chain sys- tem is used and that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground.

CAUTION:

incorrectly!

o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed

o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral. o When the engine will not start, be sure the steering is unlocked by plac- ing the key in the "ACC" position.

CORROSION PROTECTION

E010A01A-AAT

Protecting Your Hyundai from Cor- rosion By using the most advanced design and construction practices to combat corro- sion, Hyundai produces cars of the high- est quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve the long term corro- sion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required.

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 or minor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to corro- sion.

E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion Areas If you live in an area where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive materials, corrosion protection is particularly impor- tant. Some of the common causes of accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air and indus- trial pollution.

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion Moisture creates the conditions in which corrosion is most likely to occur. For ex- ample, corrosion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when temperatures are just above freezing. In such condi- tions, the corrosive material is kept in contact with the car surfaces by moisture that is slow to evaporate. Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protection because it is slow to dry and holds moisture in contact with the ve- hicle. Even though the mud appears to be dry, it can still retain moisture and promote corrosion. High temperatures can also accelerate corrosion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dis- persed. For all these reasons, it is par- ticularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. This applies not only on the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of the car.

o When cleaning lower door panels, rocker panels and frame members, be sure that drain holes are kept open so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to ac-celerate corro- sion.

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 garage when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated so moisture is dispersed.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4

E020D02A-AAT

Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condi- tion Scratches or chips in the finish should be covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of cor- rosion. If bare metal is showing through, the attention of a qualified body and paint shop is recommended.

Bird droppings : Bird droppings are highly corrosive and may damage painted sur- faces in just a few hours. Always remove bird droppings as soon as possible.

E020E01A-AAT

Don't Neglect the Interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning materials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in proper containers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up, flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.

TO HELP PREVENT COR- ROSION

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 corrosive materials. Attention to the underside 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 pollution, 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 thoroughly when winter is over.

o When cleaning underneath the car, give particular attention to the compo- nents under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening the accumulated mud rather than washing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water under high pres- sure and steam are particularly effec- tive in removing accumulated mud and corrosive materials.

44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

WASHING AND WAXING

E030A02A-AAT

Washing Your Hyundai Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car in the shade.

Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not re- moved. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemi- cal action if pollutants are allowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust control chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside of the car. Start by rins- ing the car to remove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thor- oughly clean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumulations of mud or corrosive mate- rials. Use a good quality car-washing solution and follow the manufacturer's directions on the package. These are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong household detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish.

Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finish by 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 soap-impregnated steel-wool scour- ing pad.

To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water.

To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polish- ing and waxing. Because aluminum is subject to corrosion, be sure to give alu- minum alloy wheels special attention in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thoroughly afterwards.

After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streak- ing will result.

When the weather is warm and the hu- midity low, you may find it necessary to rinse each section immediately after wash- ing to avoid streaking.

After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The rea- son for drying the car is to remove water from the car so it will dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can damage the finish.

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 other sub- stances on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the underside of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when not removed immedi- ately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solu- tion. Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.

!

CAUTION:

o Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot water, and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when the body of the vehicle is warm. o Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle. Especially, with high-pressure water, water may leak through the windows and wet the interior.

o To prevent damage to the plastic parts, do not clean with chemical solvents or strong detergents.

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.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4

E030B01A-AAT

Spot Cleaning Don'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-AAT

Polishing and Waxing A good coat of wax is a barrier between your paint and contaminate. Keeping a good coat of wax on your vehicle will help protect it. Always 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.

44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

E030D01A-AAT

When to Wax Again You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads on a 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:

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

E040A01A-AAT

To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not removed, repeat this procedure until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gasoline, solvent, paint thin- ner or other strong cleaners.

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.

E040B01A-AAT

To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If Installed) In the normal course of use, leather up- holstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. This dust 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. Washing leather thoroughly with soap and water will keep your leather lustrous, beautiful and ensure you have many years of wear. 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 soft cloth. Do this as often as the leather becomes soiled.

During tanning operations, sufficient oils are incorporated through processing that none need be applied during the life of the leather. Oil applied to the finished surface will in no way help the leather and may do more harm than good. Var- nishes and furniture polishes should never be used under any conditions.

ANY QUESTIONS?

E050A01A-AAT If you have any questions about the care of your car, consult your Hyundai dealer.

E040D01A-AAT

Cleaning the Seat Belts To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do not use strong deter- gents, dye, bleach or abrasive materials on the seat belts as this may weaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for excessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of damage and replace them if necessary.

E040E01A-AAT

Cleaning the Windows You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However, when cleaning the inside of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring.

CAUTION:

When cleaning leather products (steer- ing wheel, seats etc.), use neutral de- tergents or low alcohol content solu- tions. If you use high alcohol content solutions or acid/alkaline detergents, the color of the leather may fade or the surface may get stripped off.

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. Us- ing a vacuum cleaner with the appropri- ate attachment, remove as much dirt from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the manufacturer's directions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water. These cleaners work best when the carpet is kept as dry as pos- sible.

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

F010A01A-AAT

Service Requirements To 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.

F010B01A-AAT

Maintenance Requirements The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas:

o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance

F010C01A-AAT

Specified Scheduled Procedures These 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.

F010D01A-AAT

General Checks These 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 6-4.

F010E01A-AAT

Do-It-Yourself Maintenance If 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.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL

G030A01A-AAT Engine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.

G030B02O-AAT

Recommended Oil

G030B01JM-U The engine oil quality should meet the following classification. API Service SM* or above, ILSAC GF-4 or above

If the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.

!

WARNING:

Be very careful not to touch the radia- tor hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.

6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE

G030C01JM-AAT

To Check the Oil Level

NOTE: For better fuel economy, it is recom- mended to use the engine oil of a vis- cosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API Service SM / ILSAC GF-4). However, if the en- gine oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.

OMC059003
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to the normal operating tempera- ture and be sure it is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.

Wait five minutes, then remove the dip- stick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be between the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:

Engine oil contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm. Used engine oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Always protect your skin by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

G030D03MC-AAT

Adding Oil

CAUTION:

Slowly pour the recommended oil by using a funnel. Do not overfill so as not to damage engine.

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT

G050A01TG-AAT

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pres- sure and may erupt through the open- ing if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the ra- diator cap until the radiator is cool to the touch.

NOTE: It is recommended that the engine cool- ant should be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

G050B01A-AAT

Recommended Engine Coolant When adding coolant, use only deion- ized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with alumi- num engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system must be maintained with the correct concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion. Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level or damage to the coolant system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacing the coolant, refer to the following table.

OMC059005

OMC059008
The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is cool.

!

WARNING:

The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may some- times operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.

If the level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "L" and "F". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the reason.

CAUTION:

o Engine coolant can damage the fin- ish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thor-
