(at least once a month). Give special attention
to the removal of salt, mud and other substanc-
es on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the under-side of the doors are open. Paint damage canbe caused by small accumulation of tar, indus-trial precipitation, tree resin, insects and birddroppings, when not removed immediately.
If water alone is not strong enough to remove
the accumulated dirt, use a mild car washingsolution. Be sure to rinse the surface afterwashing to remove the solution. Never allowthe solution to dry on the painted surfaces.

cleaning agents. These can damage the finishof the car. To remove road tar, use turpentineon a clean, soft cloth or commercially availablebug and tar remover. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm
water and mild soap or car-washing solution.Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint haslost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaningpolish. E030D01A-AAT

Maintaining Bumpers
Special precautions must be observed to pre-
serve the appearance of the bumpers on yourHyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clean water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur- faces. They are made of soft plastic and thesurface can be damaged if mistreated. Donot use abrasive cleaners. Use warm waterand mild soap or car-washing solution. o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem-
peratures. For example, if you have yourcar repainted, do not leave the bumpers onthe car if the car is going to be placed in ahigh temperature paint booth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery
To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose
dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and waterusing a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipewith a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirtstains are not removed, repeat this procedureuntil the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso-line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean-ers.
E040B01A-AAT
To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If Installed)
In the normal course of use, leather upholstered
surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. 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.
