rosion
If you  live  in an  area where  your car  is
regularly exposed to  corrosive materials,
corrosion     protection    is   particularly
important.Someof  thecommoncausesof
accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust
control chemicals, ocean air and industrial
pollution.
By using  the most advanced  design and
constructionpracticestocombatcorrosion,
Hyundai  produces   cars  of  the  highest
quality.However,thisisonlypartofthejob.

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.

MoistureBreedsCorrosion
Moisture creates  the conditions in  which
corrosion   is  most  likely  to   occur.  For
example, corrosion is accelerated by high
humidity, particularly  when temperatures
arejustabovefreezing.Insuchconditions,
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
withthevehicle.Althoughthemudappears
to be dry, it can still retain the moisture and
promote corrosion.
High  temperatures  can  also  accelerate
corrosion  of parts  that  are  not  properly
ventilatedsothemoisturecanbedispersed.
For  all  these  reasons,  it  is  particularly
important to keep your car clean and free
ofmudoraccumulationsofothermaterials.
This applies not only to the visible surfaces
but particularly to the underside of the car.

CommonCausesofCorrosion
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  Whencleaningunderneaththecar,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
acceleratecorrosionrather  thanprevent
it.Waterunderhighpressureandsteam
are particularly  effective in    removing
accumulated     mud   and   corrosive
materials.
The most common causes of corrosion on
your car are:
o  Road   salt,  dirt  and  moisture  that  is
allowed to accumulate underneath the
car.
o  Removal of paint or protective coatings
by  stones,  gravel, abrasion  or  minor
scrapes    and   dents    which    leave
