CORROSION PREVENTION & APPEARANCE CARE

moved. Should any damage to or deterioration

of the underbody coating be apparent, the ad-

vice of a Hyundai dealer regarding the use of a

compatible repair material should be sought.

NOTE:

The underbody should never be steam

cleaned since the underbody coating may

be removed by this process.

During the interim period between power wash-

ing the underbody, the more vulnerable areas

such as wheelarches should be hosed off,

particularly during the winter season to prevent

prolonged contact of road salt with the body.

Ensure that the various drain points located at

bottom of the door panels are kept clear, to

prevent water becoming trapped within the cavi-

ties. Wherever possible, the parking of the

vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilated location

(e.g.) garage should be avoided when the vehi-

cle is wet or covered with snow or ice. Under

these conditions, the internal cavities of the

vehicle will remain damp for long periods of

time which encourage corrosion. Parking the

vehicle where good ventilation exists is prefer-

able.

Underbody Coatings

Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full

underbody and cavity injection treatment during

production. In order that this treatment may

retain maximum effectiveness, it is recommend-

ed that the underbody receives a power wash

and a thorough inspection after each winter

season. In so doing any accumulations of mud,

which act as moisture traps and combine with

road salts to accelerate corrosion, will be re-

APPEARANCE CARE

In using the most advanced design and con-

struction practices, every Hyundai is built to

retain its original factory finish for many years.

However, long term durability is also greatly

dependant upon maintaining the various pro-

tection systems and coatings used in manufac-

ture since constant exposure to the elements

will eventually result in their breakdown and

loss of effectiveness. The following sugges-

tions are made to assist in the maintenance of

the vehicle bodywork.

Interior

During the winter period, it is possible that the

carpet within the passenger compartment may

become wet. The carpet should not be allowed

to remain in this condition for prolonged periods

VALETING

Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves

two important functios. Firstly, the removal of

abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain the

lustre of the paintwork and will prevent

discolouration and dulling due to prolonged con-

tact.

Secondly, the presence of damage through

impact or abrasion will be apparent allowing

early rectification to be made thus preventing

corrosion from becoming established and

spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "wa-

ter spotting" the vehicle should not be washed

in direct sunlight particularly in the case of

vehicles having dark body colours. The heat

from the sun rays is absorbed by the paint film

increasing the surface temperature. This action

causes water used for washing to evaporate

quickly leaving behind the deposits from the

water and the shampoo used.

Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose

and ensure that the body work is thoroughly

wetted to soften the dirt film prior to attempting

to remove this.

After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge,

the body work should be thoroughly rinsed and

then dried with a good quality ch mois leather to

prevent streaking or spotting of the paint work.

since the carpet may begin to create musty

smells and promote internal corrosion of the

floorpan.
