5. Raising the Car
After inserting a wrench bar into the
wheel nut wrench, install the wrench
bar into the jack as shown in the draw-
ing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel
nut wrench clockwise. As the jack be-
gins to raise the vehicle, double check
that it is properly positioned and will
not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or
sand, it may be necessary to place a
stout piece of timber under the base of
the jack to prevent it from sinking.
Raise the car high enough so that the
fully inflated spare wheel can be in-
stalled. HFC4022

Using the wheel brace, remove the
nuts and slide the wheel off the hub
and wheel studs. Lie the wheel flat to
prevent it from rolling. Ensure that the
faces of the wheel and hub are clean.
Position the spare wheel over the studs
and slide it up to the hub.
HTB229
WARNING:
It is important that the faces of the
wheel and hub are clean prior to
installing the wheel. The prescence
of dirt or other matter in the wheel
or hub faces could result in the
wheel nuts becoming loose whilst
the vehicle is being driven.

AFTER CHANGING WHEELS
The pressure of the spare tyre should
be checked at the first available oppor-
tunity. If any doubt exists as to the tyre
pressure, the vehicle should be driven
slowly to the nearest service station
and the tyre pressure checked and
adjusted as required.
If the valve cap is lost from any of the
valves, a replacement should be ob-
tained and fitted at the first available
opportunity. The valve cap prevents
the ingress of dirt which may cause the
valve to stick and therefore leak and is
part of the valve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and
wheel nut wrench as well tools are
correctly located in the boot of the
vehicle to prevent damage and noise.
The vehicle may be towed by the con-
ventional method using the towing eye
at the front of the vehicle as an attach-
ment point. In addition, a suspended
tow with or without a towing dolly may
be used with either the front or the rear
wheels being suspended, provided the
above caution is observed.

!
CAUTION:
The following restriction must be
observed in order to avoid serious
damage to the transaxle .
The vehicle must never be towed
from the rear with the front wheels
on the ground.
The vehicle must not be towed until
transaxle fluid has been added to
bring the level up to the "HOT"
marking on the dipstick. (The level
will need to be reduced again after
towing).
The vehicle must not be towed at
speeds faster than 25 mph. or dis-
tances greater than fifty miles. The
general points regarding the steer-
ing lock etc. described in the pre-
ceding section (Manual transaxle
vehicle) should be observed.
SD100A3-E
Automatic Transaxle Vehicle
The vehicle may be towed by the con-
ventional method using the towing eye
at the front of the vehicle as an attach-
ment point.
In addition, a suspended tow may be
given to the front of the vehicle without
a towing dolly. In the event of a sus-
pended tow being given to the rear of
the vehicle, the use of a towing dolly is
imperative.
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE HTB209
In addition, the following points
must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means,
the ignition key must be at the "ACC"
position, otherwise the steering lock
will be activated.
o Because the brake system and
steering system power assistance
is derived from the engine, the
amount of effort required to stop or
steer the vehicle will be greater than
normal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to
the rear, the ignition key must be at
the "ACC" position since the steer-
ing lock is not designed to withstand
the force required to hold the front
wheels straight during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with
the front wheels on the ground for
more than thirty miles.

EMERGENCY TOWING For emergency towing when no com-
mercial tow vehicle is available. Do not
attempt to tow your vehicle in this
manner on any unpaved surface. This
could result in serious damage to your
car.
Nor should towing be attempted if the
wheels, drive train, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged. Before towing,
be sure the transaxle is in neutral and
the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)
or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed
car to steer it and operate the brakes.

4- 2 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
SE020A1-E PROTECTING YOUR HYUNDAI FROM CORROSION By using the most advanced design and construction practices, every Hyundai is built to retain the originalfactory finish for many years. How- ever, long term durability is also greatly dependant upon maintaining the vari-ous protection systems and coatings used in manufacture since constant, exposure to the elements will result ina breakdown and loss of effective- ness. The following suggestions are made to assist in the maintenance ofthe vehicle bodywork. SE030A1-E UNDERBODY COATINGS Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full underbody and cavity injectiontreatment during production. In order that this treatment may retain maxi- mum effectiveness it is recommendedthat the underbody receives a power wash and a thorough inspection after each winter season. In doing so anyaccumulations of mud, which act as moisture traps and combine with road salts to accelerate corrosion will beremoved. In order to maintain the Anti Perforation Warranty, the requirements regarding the retreatment programmemust be observed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions outlined in the separate Anti Perforation WarrantyBooklet. NOTE: The underbody should never be steam cleaned since the underbodycoating may be removed by this process. During the interim period betweenpower 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.Ensure that the various drain points located at the bottom of the door panels and sills are kept clear toprevent water from becoming trapped within the cavities. Wher- ever possible, the parking of thevehicle in a confined, poorly venti- lated location (a garage for example) 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 willremain damp for prolonged peri- ods of time which will encourage corrosion. Parking the vehiclewhere good ventilation exists (out- side for example) is preferable.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 3
SE040A1-E VALETING Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves two important func-tions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain the lustre of the paintwork and will preventdiscolouration and dulling due to pro- longed contact. Secondly, the presence of damagethrough impact or abrasion will be ap- parent allowing early rectification to be made thus preventing corrosion frombecoming established and spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "water spotting" the vehicle should not bewashed in direct sunlight particularly in the case of vehicles having dark body colours. The heat from the sun rays isabsorbed by the paint film increasing the surface temperature. This action causes water used for washing toevaporate quickly leaving behind the deposits from the water and the sham- poo used.Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose and ensure that the body work is thoroughly wetted to soften the dirtfilm prior to attempting to remove this. After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge, the body work should be thor- oughly rinsed and then dried with agood quality chamois leather to pre- vent streaking or spotting of the paint work.Household detergents, solvents and abrasive cleaning materials should not be used in order to avoid damaging thepaint film. Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloywheels should be cleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent. Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lac- quer coating, oxidization of the alu- minium wheel will occur, spoiling theappearance. The use of an a toothbrush will facili- tate cleaning between the wheel"spokes".
SE040B1-E STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be difficult to remove from thepaint film, turpentine or a proprietary paint cutting compound may be used. Ensure that the area to be cleaned isnot rubbed intensively to prevent break- ing through the colour coat and expos- ing the under coat. SE040C1-E POLISHING The exterior paint work should be pol- ished with a proprietary wax polish when water no longer collects in bead form on the paint work. The instruc-tions of the product manufacturer should be adhered to.

4- 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
SE040E1-E BUMPER MAINTENANCE The special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrantsspecial attention to preserve the ap- pearance of the bumpers. Avoid con- tact with battery electrolyte or brakefluid and ensure that accidental spill- ages are immediately flushed with water.Do not use abrasive cleaning materi- als which may damage the bumpers. Avoid subjecting the bumpers to hightemperatures such as may be encoun- tered in high bake paint ovens.
SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRS In the event of the body work sustain- ing damage, the following points should be noted prior to repairs being under- taken.If body panels are replaced or re- paired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to the repair area. Theproduct used must be compatible with those used in manufacture. It is rec- ommended that repairs are entrustedto a Hyundai dealer to ensure that replacement parts used are of the same high quality as those used in manufac- ture of the vehicle and that the correctrepair methods and materials will en- sure adequate levels of corrosion pro- tection and the continued validity of theAnti Perforation Warranty. SE050A1-E INTERIOR During the winter period, it is possible that the passenger compartment floor- ing may become wet from damp foot- wear or quantities of snow adhering tofootwear. The carpet should not be allowed to remain in this condition since the carpet may begin to create mustysmells and will promote corrosion of the floor pan in addition to the carpet and under felt beginning to rot.
SE050C1-E INTERIOR VALETING The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of avacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling should be removed with a dry cleaning agent recommended for this purpose follow-ing the instructions of the product manufacturer. Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaning materials shouldnot be used since damage to the up- holstery may result. SE050D1-E SEAT BELTS Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong deter- gents, solvens or bleaches may dam- age the belt webbing and thereforereduce the effectiveness of the belt. Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cut should be replaced.
