CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

CORROSION PROTECTION

E020B01A-AAT

Keep Your Car Clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to

keep your car clean and free of corrosive

materials. Attention to the underside 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 pollution,

acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra

care to prevent corrosion. In winter,

hose off the underside of your car at

least once a month and be sure to clean

the underside thoroughly when winter

is over.

o When cleaning underneath the car, give

particular attention to the components

under the fenders and other areas that

are hidden from view. Do a thorough

job; just dampening the accumulated

mud rather than washing it away will

accelerate corrosion rather than pre-

vent it. Water under high pressure and

steam are particularly effective in re-

moving accumulated mud and corro-

sive materials.

E020A01A-AAT

You can help prevent corrosion from get-

ting started by observing the following:

E010D01A-AAT

Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which

corrosion is most likely to occur. For ex-

ample, corrosion is accelerated by high

humidity, particularly when temperatures

are just above freezing. In such conditions,

the corrosive material is kept in contact with

the car surfaces by moisture that is slow to

evaporate.

Mud is particularly corrosive because it is

slow to dry and holds moisture in contact

with the vehicle. Although the mud ap-

pears to be dry, it can still retain the mois-

ture and promote corrosion.

High temperatures can also accelerate cor-

rosion of parts that are not properly venti-

lated so the moisture can be dispersed. For

all these reasons, it is particularly important

to keep your car clean and free of mud or

accumulations of other materials. This ap-

plies not only to the visible surfaces but

particularly to the underside of the car.

E010C01A-AAT

High-Corrosion Areas

If you live in an area where your car is

regularly exposed to corrosive materials,

corrosion protection is particularly impor-

tant. Some of the common causes of

accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust

control chemicals, ocean air and industrial

pollution.

E010B01A-AAT

Common Causes of Corrosion

The most common causes of corrosion on

your car are:

o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is al-

lowed to accumulate underneath the

car.

o Removal of paint or protective coatings

by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor

scrapes and dents which leave unpro-

tected metal exposed to corrosion.

Protecting Your Hyundai from Cor-

rosion

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 corrosion resis-

tance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's

cooperation and assistance is also re-

quired.
