2007 Hyundai Elantra Owners Manual

Maintenance
Underbody maintenance
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels  are coated with  a
clear protective finish.
•  Do not  use any  abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing   compound,   solvent,   or   wire
brushes  on   aluminum  wheels.  They
may scratch or damage the finish.
WARNING
Corrosive  materials   used  for   ice  and
snow removal  and dust control may  col-
lect on the  underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated rusting can
occur  on underbody  parts  such  as  the
fuel lines,  frame,  floor pan  and exhaust
system,  even   though  they  have   been
treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush  the  vehicle underbody
and  wheel  openings  with  lukewarm  or
cold water  once  a month,  after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter. Pay
special attention to these areas because
it is difficult to see all  the mud and dirt. It
will do more harm than good to wet down
the road  grime without  removing it.  The
lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and
frame  members  have  drain  holes   that
should not  be  allowed to  clog with  dirt;
trapped water  in these areas  can cause
rusting.
After washing  the vehicle,  test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking  performance  is   impaired,
dry  the  brakes  by  applying  them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
Use only a  mild soap or neutral  deter-
gent, and  rinse thoroughly  with water.
Also, be sure to clean the  wheels after
driving on salted roads. This helps pre-
vent corrosion.
Avoid  washing  the wheels  with  high-
speed car wash brushes.
Do not  use any acid detergent.  It may
damage  and   corrode  the   aluminum
wheels coated  with  a clear  protective
finish.
