VALETING
The  underbody   should  never  be   steam
cleaned since the  underbody coating may
be removed by this process.
During  the interim  period between  power
washing the underbody, the more vulnera-
ble areas  such as  wheelarches should be
hosed off, particularly during the winter sea-
son to  prevent prolonged  contact of  road
salt with the body.
Ensure that the various drain points located
at bottom of the door panels are kept clear,
to prevent  water becoming trapped  within
the cavities. Wherever possible, the parking
of the vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilat-
ed location (e.g.) garage should be avoided
when  the  vehicle is  wet  or  covered  with
snow  or ice.  Under these  conditions,  the
internal cavities  of the vehicle  will remain
damp  for long  periods  of time  which  en-
courage corrosion. Parking the vehicle where
good ventilation exists is preferable.

APPEARANCE
CARE
Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves
two important functions. Firstly, the removal of
abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain the
lustre   of   the  paintwork    and  will   prevent
discolouration and dulling due to prolonged con-
tact.
Secondly,  the  presence of  damage  through
impact or  abrasion  will be  apparent allowing
early rectification to  be made thus preventing
corrosion   from  becoming   established   and
spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "wa-
ter spotting" the vehicle should not be washed
in  direct  sunlight  particularly in  the  case  of
vehicles having  dark body  colours. The  heat
from the sun rays is absorbed by the paint film
increasing the surface temperature. This action
causes water  used for  washing to  evaporate
quickly leaving  behind  the deposits  from the
water and the shampoo used.
Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose
and ensure  that the  body work  is thoroughly
wetted to soften the dirt film prior to attempting
to remove this.
After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge,
the body work should be thoroughly rinsed and
then dried with a good quality chamois leather
to  prevent streaking  or  spotting of  the  paint
work.

APPEARANCE CARE
In using  the most advanced  design and con-
struction  practices, every  Hyundai is  built  to
retain its original factory finish for many years.
However, long  term  durability is  also greatly
dependant upon  maintaining the various  pro-
tection systems and coatings used in manufac-
ture since constant  exposure to the elements
will  eventually result  in their  breakdown  and
loss  of effectiveness.  The  following  sugges-
tions are made to assist in the maintenance of
the vehicle bodywork.

Underbody Coatings
Every Hyundai  passenger car  receives a  full
underbody and cavity injection treatment during
production.  In order  that  this  treatment may
retain maximum effectiveness, it is recommend-
ed that the underbody receives a power wash
and  a thorough  inspection  after each  winter
season. In doing so any accumulations of mud,
which act as moisture traps and combine with
road salts  to accelerate corrosion,  will be  re-
moved. Should any damage to or deterioration
of the underbody coating be apparent, the ad-
vice of a Hyundai dealer regarding the use of a
compatible repair material should be sought.

Interior
During the winter period, it is possible that the
carpet within the passenger compartment may
become wet. The carpet should not be allowed
to remain in this condition for prolonged periods
since  the carpet  may begin  to  create musty
smells and  promote internal  corrosion of  the
floorpan.
Household detergents, solvents  and abrasive
cleaning materials should not be used in order
to avoid damaging the paint film.
