surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust anddirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather, caus-ing damage.
Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned
when necessary. Washing leather thoroughlywith soap and water will keep your leather
lustrous, beautiful and ensure you have manyyears of wear.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai
dealer with regard to the method of ignition andfuel system diagnosis.
CAUTION: If the engine refuses to start, no attempt
should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles with automatic transaxleor fuel injection will not be able to be startedin this manner since no drive is transmittedthrough the automatic transaxle whilst theengine is not running, and in the case of fuelinjected derivatives, the fuel pump will notoperate under tow start conditions. In addi-tion, if the vehicle is equipped with an ex-haust catalyst, damage to the catalyst mayresult if the vehicle is tow started. ZD000A1-E

CORROSION PREVENTION & APPEARANCE CARE
4-2 Household detergents, solvents and abrasive
cleaning materials should not be used in order ot avoid damaging the paint film.
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a
sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should becleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent.Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lacquer coat-ing, oxidisation of the aluminium wheel willoccur, spoiling the appearance.
The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate clean-
ing between the wheel "spokes". JE080A1-E
BUMPER MAINTENANCE
The special material from which the bumpersare manufactured warrants special attention topreserve the appearance of thebumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluidand ensure that accidental spillages are imme-diately flushed with water. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials which may damage the bumpers. Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera- tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaing ovens.
JE060A1-E
STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be
difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentineor a proprietary paint cutting compound may beused. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is notrubbed intensively to prevent breaking throughthe colour coat and exposing the under coat.
JE070A1-E
POLISHING The exterior paint work should be polished with
a proprietary wax polish when water no longercollects in bead form on the paint work. Theinstructions of the product manufacturer shouldbe adhered to. JE090A1-E
ACCIDENT REPAIRS In the event of the body work sustaining dam-age, the following points should be noted priorto repairs being undertaken. If body panels are replaced or repaired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to therepair area. The product used must be compat-ible with those used in manufacture. It is recom-mended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundaidealer to ensure that replacement parts usedare of the same high quality as those used inmanufacture of the vehicle and that the correctrepair methods and materials will ensure ade-quate levels of corrosion protection and thecontinued validity of the Anti Perforation War-ranty. JE100A1-E
SEAT BELTS
