CLEANING THE INTERIOR
To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery
You should polish and wax the car again when
water no longer  beads on a clean  surface but
spreads out  over a larger  area.
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 gaso-
line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean-
ers.

Maintaining Bumpers
Special precautions must  be observed to  pre-
serve the appearance of  the bumpers on your
Hyundai. They  are:

SpotCleaning
Don't  use gasoline,  strong solvents  or  corro-
sive 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-washing  solution.
Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost
its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.

o
Be careful not  to spill battery  electrolyte or
hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you
do, wash it off immediately with clear water.
Be gentle  when  cleaning the  bumper sur-
faces. They are made of soft plastic and the
surface can  be damaged if  mistreated. Do
not use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water
and mild soap  or car-washing solution.
Do  not expose  the  bumpers to  high  tem-
peratures. 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.

To Clean the Leather Upholstery
(Ifinstalled)
In the normal course of use, leather upholstered
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, caus-
ing damage.

PolishingandWaxing
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.
Always wash and  dry the car before  polishing
or waxing or  using a combination cleaner and
wax. Use  a  good quality  commercial product
and follow the manufacturer's directions on the
container. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces
as well as the paint.
