Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your car. Speeding, rapid accel-eration, sudden brake applications, and sharpturns are potentially very hazardous practices.During deceleration, use engine braking to thefullest extent. Sudden brake applications onsnowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance betweenthe vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, applythe brake gently.
It should be noted that installing tire chains on
the tire will provide a greater driving force, butwill not prevent side skids.

Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-ish your coolant in accordance with the main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assure that itsfreezing point is sufficient for the temperaturesanticipated during the winter.

To assure that you receive the greatest number
of kilometers of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must
be performed. Although careful design and en-
gineering have reduced these to a minimum,those that are required are of the utmost impor-tance. It is your responsibility to have these mainte-
nance procedures performed to comply with theterms of the warranties covering your newHyundai. The Service Passport supplied withyour new vehicle provides further information
about these warranties. F010B01A-AAT

Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-2.These procedures must be performed at theintervals shown in the maintenance schedule to
assure that your warranty remains in effect.Although it is strongly recommended that they
be performed by the factory-trained or distribu-tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or re-placements. Other parts of equivalent quality
such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual orauto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which
are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affectingyour warranty coverage but you should always
be sure these are equivalent to the quality of theoriginal Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport

The power steering hoses should be replaced if
there is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hosecould cause premature failure.

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
Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mildsoap solution. Strong detergents, solvens orbleaches may damage the belt webbing andtherefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt.Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cutshould be replaced. JE110A1-E
INTERIOR VALETING
The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavysoiling should be removed with a dry cleaningagent recommended for this purpose followingthe instructions of the product manufacturer.Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaningmaterials should not be used since damage tothe upholstery may result. JE120A1-E
WINDOWS
A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the windows. However, therear heated windscreen must only be cleanedusing a light horizontal cleaning action. Careshould be exercised to avoid the use of abra-sive cleaners or contact with items of jewellerywhich may damage the heating elements.
