CORROSION PREVENTION AND  APPEARANCE CARE
(at least once a month). Give special attention
to the removal of salt, mud and other substanc-
es on the underside of the splashboards of the
car. Make sure that the outlets and the under-
side of the doors are open. Paint damage can
be caused by small accumulation of tar, indus-
trial precipitation,  tree resin,  insects and  bird
droppings, when not removed immediately.
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  solution. Never  allow
the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.

o
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.
Polishing and Waxing
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.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR
To Clean the Vinyl  Upholstery
E030D01A-AAT
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.
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.

Spot Cleaning
Maintaining Bumpers
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 or commercially available
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-cleaning
polish.
Special precautions must be observed to  pre-
serve the appearance of the bumpers on your
Hyundai. They are:

Be careful not to spill  battery electrolyte or
hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you
do, wash it off immediately with clean 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.
To Clean the Leather  Upholstery
(If Installed)
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.
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.
