HXGS413
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, while 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.

To raise the vehicle, turn the wheelnut wrench clockwise. As the jack be- gins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and willnot slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, place a board, brick, flat stone or other object under the base of the jackto keep it from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed.To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire.

with the studs and slide the wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the top hole in thewheel lined up with the top stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until the wheel can be slid over the other studs.
WARNING:
Wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Be-fore putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. Ifthere is not good contact on the mounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could come loose and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result inloss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface. This could result in seriousdamage to your car. Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering orbrakes 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. HXGS403J
CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all fourwheels on the ground, it can betowed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 50km/h (30 mph) and for more than 25 km (15 miles). Be sure the steering is unlocked byplacing the key in the "ACC" posi- tion. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steering andbrakes. D120A01A-GAT IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your key number.If you lock the keys inside your car and you cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers can use special toolsto open the door for you. Information about the key of immobi- lizer system (if installed) will be found on page 1-4.

4- 2 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
E010A01A-AAT CORROSION PROTECTION Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro- sion: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 the long-term corrosion resistance yourHyundai can deliver, the owner's co- operation and assistance is also re- quired. 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 getting started by observing the follow- ing:

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 to cause corro-sion. Check under the mats periodi- cally to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertiliz-ers, cleaning materials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in propercontainers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up, 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.
E030A01GK-AAT 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 not removed. Air pollution or acid rain maydamage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are al- lowed to remain in contact with thesurface. 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 under- side of the car. Start by rinsing the carto remove dust and loose dirt. In win- ter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughlyclean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumulations of mud or corrosivematerials. High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle. Use a good quality car-washing solu-tion and follow the manufacturer's di- rections on the package. These are available at your Hyundai dealer orauto parts outlet. Don't use strong household detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powdersas these may damage the finish. Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finishby rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soapy steel-wool scouring 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 removewater from the car so it will dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can dam- age the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to coverthem to prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car against corro- sion, you must clean your Hyundai (atleast once a month). Give special at- tention to the removal of salt, mud and other substances on the underside ofthe splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the underside of the doors are open. Paint damagecan be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when notremoved immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accu- mulated dirt, use a mild car washingsolution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on thepainted surfaces.
