TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION
You can  help prevent  corrosion from  getting
started by observing the following:
If you live in an area where your car is regularly
exposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro-
tection is particularly  important. Some of   the
common causes of accelerated  corrosion are
road salts,  dust control  chemicals, ocean  air
and industrial pollution.

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 particu-
larly important.

Moisture Breeds  Corrosion
Protecting Your  Hyundai from  Corro-
sion
Moisture creates the conditions in which corro-
sion is most likely to occur. For example,  cor-
rosion is accelerated by high humidity, particu-
larly when temperatures are just above  freez-
ing. In such conditions, the corrosive material is
kept in contact with the car  surfaces by mois-
ture that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because it is slow
to dry  and holds moisture in  contact with the
vehicle. Although the mud appears to be dry, it
can still retain the moisture and promote corro-
sion.
High temperatures can also  accelerate corro-
sion of parts that are not properly ventilated so
the moisture can  be dispersed.  For all  these
reasons, it is particularly important to keep your
car clean and free of mud or accumulations of
other materials.  This  applies not  only to  the
visible surfaces but particularly to the underside
of the car.
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 corro-
sion. In  winter,  hose off  the underside  of
your car at least once a month and be sure
to clean the underside thoroughly when win-
ter is over.
When  cleaning  underneath the  car,  give
particular attention to the components under
the fenders and other areas that are hidden
from view. Do a thorough job; just dampen-
ing the accumulated mud rather than wash-
ing it away will  accelerate corrosion rather
than prevent it. Water under high pressure
and steam are  particularly effective in   re-
moving  accumulated  mud  and  corrosive
materials.

By using the most advanced design  and con-
struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundai
produces cars of the highest quality. However,
this is only part of the job. To achieve the long-
term  corrosion resistance  your  Hyundai can
deliver, the owner’s cooperation and assistance
is also required.

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 coatings  by
stones, gravel,  abrasion or minor  scrapes
and dents  which leave  unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.
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 corrosion.
