ZD070F1-E 3. Loosen Wheel Nuts The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun- terclockwise. When doing this, be surethat the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position thewrench so the handle is to the right as shown in the drawing. Then, whilst holding the wrench near the end of thehandle, pull up on it with steady pres- sure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one-halfturn.
Flat tyre

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 3
SE040A2-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 wet to soften the dirt filmprior 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 a toothbrush will facilitate cleaning between the wheel "spokes".
CAUTION:
!
OJB037800
o Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressure water washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located in the engine compartment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 5
SE050E1-E WINDOWS A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the win- dows. However, the rear heated wind- shield must only be cleaned using alight horizontal cleaning action. Care should be exercised to avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or contact with itemsof jewellery which may damage the heating elements.
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 to footwear. The carpet should not beallowed to remain in this condition since the carpet may begin to create musty smells and will promote corrosion ofthe 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 a vacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling shouldbe removed with a dry cleaning agent recommended for this purpose follow- ing the instructions of the productmanufacturer. Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaning materials should not 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, solvents or bleaches may dam- age the belt webbing and therefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt.Belts which display signs of fraying, wear or cuts should be replaced.
YE010A1-E To Clean Leather Upholstery (Not all models) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any ma- terial, pick-up dust and dirt. This dustand dirt MUST be cleaned off or it may work into the surface of the leather, causing damage.Fine leather needs care. This care, as with all fine things, need not be elabo- rate, but should include cleaning whennecessary. Washing leather thoroughly with soap and water will keep your leather lustrous, beautiful and ensureyou have many years of wear. Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mild soap and lukewarm water,work up a good lather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Dothis as often as the leather becomes soiled. During tanning operations, sufficientoils are incorporated through process- ing that none need be applied during the life of the leather. Oil applied to thefinished surface will in no way help the leather and may do more harm than good. Varnished and furniture polishesshould NEVER be used under any con- ditions.

SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may beused in the braking system. Care should be taken to observe the instructions and precautions printed upon the con-tainer.
!
CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking sys- tem is essential to the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, any main-tenance operations other than those listed below should be entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer.
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-voir should be checked periodically.The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the"MIN" mark, fluid should be added. It should be borne in mind that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as thefriction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.
HTB166To add brake fluid;
1) If it is necessary, remove the air
cleaner cover.
2) Wipe away any dirt then unscrew the
fluid reservoir cap.
3) Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir using by a funnel. Do not overfill. Before using, checkthe condition of the funnel to prevent a mixture of a foreign substance.

1. Keep all tyres inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper and rear bumper down several times. Place the vehicle at a distance of 118 in.(3,000 mm) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded
(except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tyre, jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn on the headlight (low beam).
WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in this manner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire. Extracting air in the fuel filter If you drove until you have no fuel left or if you replaced the fuel filter, be sure to extract air in the fuel system as it makes you difficult to start the engine.
1) Remove the air extract nozzle cap on the fuel filter.
2) Pump up and down until the fuel flows out of the plug opening.
NOTE: Use cloths when you extract air so that the fuel is not sprayed around.Clean the fuel around the fuel filter or the injection pump before starting the engine to prevent fire. Finally,check each part if the fuel is leaking.
