E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads ona clean surface but spreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to preserve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery elec- trolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper surfaces. They are made of softplastic and the surface can be dam-aged if mistreated. Do not use abra- sive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high temperatures. For example, if youhave your car repainted, do notleave the bumpers on the car if the car is going to be placed in a high- temperature paint booth. E040A01A-AAT To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery To clean the vinyl upholstery, first re- move loose dirt and dust with a vacuumcleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not re-moved, repeat this procedure until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso- line, solvent, paint thinner or otherstrong cleaners.
E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These can damage the finish of the car. To re-move road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth or commercially avail- able bug and tar remover. Be gentle.To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car- washing solution. Soak the spot andrub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combi- nation cleaner and wax. Use a good quality commercial product and followthe manufacturer's directions on the container. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as well as the paint.
Be sure to rinse the surface after wash-ing to remove the solution. Never allowthe solution to dry on the painted sur- faces.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous andcan cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake controlis set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the boot lid to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speed setting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..

not exceed the Gross Axle WeightRating (GAWR) shown on the ve- hicle identification plate (see page 8-2). It is possible that your towingpackage does not exceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or toomuch luggage in the boot can overload the rear axle. Redistrib- ute the load and check the axleweight again.

12IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED
D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai authorised repairer or a commercial tow truck ser- vice. This will help assure that yourvehicle is not damaged in towing. Also, professionals are generally aware of local laws governing towing. In anycase, rather than risk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator.Be sure that a safety chain system is used and that all local laws are ob- served.It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheelsoff the ground.
! CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" posi- tion. HFC005

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 thevalve 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 thevehicle to prevent damage and noise.
