4- 2 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
E010A01A-AAT CORROSION PROTECTION Protecting Your Hyundai fromCorrosion: By using the most advanced design and construction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundai produces cars ofthe highest quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve long- term corrosion resistance your Hyun-dai can deliver, the owner's coopera- tion and assistance is also required. E010C01A-AAT High-Corrosion Areas If you live in an area where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive materi-als, corrosion protection is particularly important. Some of the common causes of accelerated corrosion areroad salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air and industrial pollution.
E010B01A-AAT Common Causes of Corrosion The most common causes of corro- sion on your car are:
o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to accumulate underneath the car.
o Removal of paint or protective coat- ings by stones, gravel, abrasion orminor scrapes and dents which leaveunprotected metal exposed to cor- rosion. E010D01A-AAT Moisture Breeds Corrosion Moisture creates the conditions in which corrosion is most likely to occur. For example, corrosion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when tem-peratures are just above freezing. In such conditions, the corrosive mate- rial is kept in contact with the carsurfaces by moisture that is slow to evaporate. Mud is particularly corrosive becauseit is slow to dry and holds moisture in contact with the vehicle. Although themud appears to be dry, it can still retain the moisture and promote corrosion. High temperatures can also acceler-ate corrosion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dispersed. For all these rea-sons, it is particularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. Thisapplies not only to the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of the car. E020A01A-AAT TO HELP PREVENT CORRO- SION You can help prevent corrosion from starting by observing the following:

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 3
E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage Dry Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a fa- vorable environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash your carin the garage or drive it into the garage when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated ga-rage can contribute to corrosion un- less it is well ventilated so moisture is dispersed. E020D01A-AAT Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition Scratches or chips in the finish should be covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible to reduce the possi-bility of corrosion. If bare metal is show- ing through, the attention of a qualified body and paint shop is recommended. E020E01A-AAT Don't Neglect the Interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting causing corrosion.Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertilisers, cleaningmaterials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in proper containers and any spills or leaks shouldbe cleaned up immediately, flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.
E020B01A-AAT Keep Your Car Clean The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your car clean and free of corro-sive materials. Attention to the under- side of the car is particularly important.
o If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the ocean, areas with industrial pollu-tion, acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra care to prevent corro- sion. In winter, hose off the under-side of your car at least once a month and be sure to clean the underside thoroughly when winteris over.
o When cleaning underneath the car,
give particular attention to the com-ponents under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening theaccumulated mud rather than wash- ing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water underhigh pressure and steam are par- ticularly effective in removing accu- mulated mud and corrosive materi-als. o When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members,be sure that drain holes are keptopen so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to ac- celerate corrosion.
E030A03A-DAT WASHING AND WAXING Washing Your Hyundai Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car in the shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abra- sive and can scratch the paint if it is notremoved. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are al-lowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust con-

4- 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
trol chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside of the car. Start by rinsing the car toremove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly clean theunderside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumu- lated mud or corrosive materials.High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle. Use a good quality car-washing solution and followthe manufacturer's directions on the package. These are available at your Hyundaidealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong household detergents, petrol, strong solvents or abrasive cleaningpowders as these may damage the finish. Use a clean lambs wool mitt or a cloth,rinse it frequently and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently andremove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tyres, use a stiff brush or soap-impregnated steel-woolscouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protectthe bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi- num is subject to corrosion, be sure togive aluminum alloy wheels special attention in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thor-oughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thor- oughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will result. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it neces- sary to rinse each section immediatelyafter washing to avoid streaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying the car is to remove water from the car so it will dry withoutwater spots. Don't rub, this can dam- age the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in thepaint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corrosion. To protect thepaintwork of the car against corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special attentionto the removal of salt, mud and other substances on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make surethat the outlets and the underside of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation oftar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when not removed immediately. If water alone isnot strong enough to remove the accu- mulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surfaceafter washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.
