1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is safe to do so and with the minimum amount of braking required which will assist in main-taining the maximum amount of control. Thevehicle should be parked wherever possibleupon firm level ground to facilitate wheelchanging.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the wheel to bechanged safely, assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on a SD070A1-E CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
7. Proceed with caution until it is established
that the engine is operating normally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of aHyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is aleak in the cooling system and this should bechecked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.
It is of the utmost importance that care is exer-cised when changing road wheels. Ensure thatthe parking brake is set and that the gear shiftlever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle has automatictransaxle).
D040A01GK-EAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYREThe following instructions for the temporary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical
after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure shouldbe periodically checked and maintained atthe specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporari-
ly and should be returned to the luggagecompartment as soon as the original tyre canbe repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h) is not recommended. 4. As the temporary spare tyre is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used onany other vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tyre should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standardtyre, snow tyre, wheel covers or trim rings beused with the temporary spare wheel. If suchuse is attempted, damage to these items orother car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a month while the tyre is stored.
CAUTION:

retreatment programme must be observed in accordance with the Terms and Conditionsoutlined in the separate Anti Perforation War-ranty Booklet.
NOTE: The underbody should never be steam
cleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process.
During the interim period between power
washing the underbody, the more vulnera-ble areas such as wheel arches should behosed off particularly during the winter sea-son to prevent prolonged contact with roadsalts. Ensure that the various drain points located
at the bottom of the door panels and sillsare kept clear to prevent water from becom-ing trapped within the cavities. Whereverpossible, the parking of the vehicle in aconfined, poorly ventilated location (a ga-rage for example) should be avoided whenthe vehicle is wet or is covered with snow orice. Under these conditions, the internalcavities of the vehicle will remain damp forprolonged periods of time which will en-courage corrosion. Parking the vehicle wheregood ventilation exists (outside for example)is preferable.
SE020A1-E PROTECTING YOUR HYUNDAI FROM CORROSION By using the most advanced design and con- struction practices, every Hyundai is built toretain the original factory finish for many years.However, long term durability is also greatlydependant upon maintaining the various protec-tion systems and coatings used in manufacturesince constant, exposure to the elements willresult in a breakdown and loss of effectiveness.The following suggestions are made to assist inthe maintenance of the vehicle bodywork.
SE030A1-E UNDERBODY COATINGS Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full
underbody and cavity injection treatment during production. In order that this treatment mayretain maximum effectiveness it is recommend-ed that the underbody receives a power washand a thorough inspection after each winterseason. In doing so any accumulations of mud,which act as moisture traps and combine withroad salts to accelerate corrosion will be re-moved.

CARE
E030A01GK-AAT VALETINGRegular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves two important functions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain thelustre of the paintwork and will preventdiscolouration and dulling due to prolonged con-tact.Secondly, the presence of damage through im-pact or abrasion will be apparent allowing earlyrectification to be made thus preventing corro-sion from becoming established and spreadingbeneath the paint film. To avoid "water spotting"the vehicle should not be washed in direct sun-light particularly in the case of vehicles havingdark body colours. The heat from the sun rays isabsorbed by the paint film increasing the surfacetemperature. This action causes water used forwashing to evaporate quickly leaving behind thedeposits from the water and the shampoo used.Use only a shampoo intended for the purposeand ensure that the body work is thoroughlywetted to soften the dirt film prior to attempting toremove this.After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge, thebody work should be thoroughly rinsed and thendried with a good quality chamois leather toprevent streaking or spotting of the paint work.Household detergents, solvents and abrasivecleaning materials should not be used in order toavoid damaging the paint film.High pressure car washes may cause water toenter your vehicle.Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using asponge 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 coating,

oxidization of the aluminium wheel will occur, spoiling the appearance.The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate cleaningbetween the wheel "spokes". SE040B1-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. SE040C1-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. SE040E1-E BUMPER MAINTENANCEThe special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrants special attention to pre-serve the appearance of the bumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid andensure that accidental spillages are immediatelyflushed with water.Do not use abrasive cleaning materials whichmay damage the bumpers.
SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRSIn the event of the body work sustaining damage, the following points should be noted prior torepairs being undertaken.If body panels are replaced or repaired, anticorrosion treatment must be applied to the repairarea. The product used must be compatible withthose used in manufacture. It is recommendedthat repairs are entrusted to a Hyundai dealer toensure that replacement parts used are of thesame high quality as those used in manufactureof the vehicle and that the correct repair methodsand materials will ensure adequate levels ofcorrosion protection and the continued validity ofthe Anti Perforation Warranty. SE050A1-E INTERIOR During the winter period, it is possible that the passenger compartment flooring may becomewet from damp footwear or quantities of snowadhering to footwear. The carpet should not beallowed to remain in this condition since thecarpet may begin to create musty smells and willpromote corrosion of the floor pan in addition tothe carpet and under felt beginning to rot. SE050C1-E INTERIOR VALETINGThe 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.
SE050D1-E SEAT BELTSSeat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap 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. SE050E1-E WINDOWSA 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 abrasivecleaners or contact with items of jewellery whichmay damage the heating elements.
Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera-tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaint ovens.

NANCE REQUIRE- MENTS NOTE: The inspection and testing of certain elec-tronic fuel injection/engine management andautomatic transmission control systems re-quire specialised electronic equipment spe-cifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. Theuse of general purpose electrical test equip-ment may result in damage to the control unitmicroprocessors. SF020C1-E Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5- 2. The operations specified must be performedat the time or mileage intervals shown irrespec-tive of whether the mileage interval has beenreached before the specified time interval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended that themaintenance operations are performed by thefactory-trained or distributor-trained techniciansat your Hyundai dealer because of the need forspecialized knowledge and tooling and to en-sure that no possibility of invalidating the man-ufacturers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to vehicles
operated under normal conditions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditionswill require more frequent maintenance which isdescribed at page 5-4. SF030B1-E SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenance services are recorded in the warranty and ser-vice passport to ensure that proof of mainte-nance is available when warranty service isrequired.
