Protecting Your HYUNDAI from
Corrosion:
By using the most advanced design and
construction practices to combat corro-
sion, HYUNDAI produces cars of the
highest quality. However, this is only part
of the job. To achieve the long-term cor-
rosion resistance your HYUNDAI can
deliver, the owner's cooperation and
assistance is also required.
(Continued)
• When checking the engine room,
do not go near fire. Fuel, washer
fluid, etc. are flammable oils that
may cause fire.
• Before touching the battery, igni-
tion cables and electrical wiring,
you should disconnect the bat-
tery "-" terminal. You may get an
electric shock from the electric
current.
• When you remove the interior
trim cover with a flat bed (-) driv-
er, be careful not to damage the
cover.
• Be careful when you replace and
clean bulbs to avoid burns or
electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Do not put heavy objects or apply
excessive force on top of the
engine cover (if equipped) or fuel
related parts.
• When you inspect the fuel system
(fuel lines and fuel injection
devices), we recommend that you
contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Do not drive long time with the
engine cover (if equipped) removed.
