coating  may  be  removed by  this
process.
During the interim period  between
power washing the underbody, the
more  vulnerable   areas   such  as
wheel arches should  be hosed off
particularly during  the winter sea-
son to  prevent prolonged  contact
with road salts.
Ensurethatthevariousdrainpoints
located at  the bottom  of the  door
panels  and sills  are kept  clear  to
prevent    water   from   becoming
trapped within  the cavities.  Wher-
ever  possible, the  parking  of  the
vehicle in a confined, poorly venti-
latedlocation(agarageforexample)
should  be  avoided  when  the  ve-
hicle is wet or is covered with snow
or ice. Under these conditions, the
internal cavities of  the vehicle will
remain  damp  for  prolonged peri-
ods of  time  which will  encourage
corrosion.    Parking   the   vehicle
where good ventilation exists (out-
side for example) is preferable.
EveryHyundaipassengercarreceives
a full  underbody and  cavity injection
treatment during production. In  order
that this  treatment  may retain  maxi-
mum effectiveness it is recommended
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
removed. In order to maintain the Anti
PerforationWarranty,therequirements
regarding the retreatment programme
must be observed in accordance with
the Terms and Conditions outlined in
theseparateAntiPerforationWarranty
Booklet.
By using  the most  advanced design
and  construction    practices,   every
Hyundai is  built to retain  the original
factory  finish for  many  years.  How-
ever,longtermdurabilityisalsogreatly
dependant upon maintaining the vari-
ous protection systems  and coatings
used in  manufacture since constant,
exposure to the elements will result in
a  breakdown  and  loss  of effective-
ness. The  following suggestions  are
made to assist in the maintenance of
the vehicle bodywork.
