The most common causes of corrosion
on your car are:
Moisture creates the conditions in which
corrosion is most likely to occur. For ex-
ample, corrosion is accelerated by high
humidity, particularly when temperatures
are just above freezing. In such condi-
tions, the corrosive material is kept in
contact with the car surfaces by moisture
that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion
protection because it is slow to dry and
holds moisture in contact with the ve-
hicle. Even though the mud appears to
be dry, it can still retain moisture and
promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion of parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be dis-
persed. For all these reasons, it is par-
ticularly important to keep your car clean
and free of mud or accumulations of other
materials. This applies not only on the
visible surfaces but particularly to the
underside of the car.
By using the most advanced design and
construction practices to combat corro-
sion, Hyundai produces cars of the high-
est quality. However, this is only part of
the job. To achieve the long term corro-
sion resistance your Hyundai can deliver,
the owner's cooperation and assistance
is also required.
o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath the
car.
o Removal of paint or protective coat-
ings by stones, gravel, abrasion or
minor scrapes and dents which leave
unprotected metal exposed to corro-
sion.

High-CorrosionAreas
If you live in an area where your car is
regularly exposed to corrosive materials,
corrosion protection is particularly impor-
tant. Some of the common causes of
accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust
control chemicals, ocean air and indus-
trial pollution.
