To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery
To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove
loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Then apply a solution of mild soap or
detergent and water using a clean sponge
or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the
surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with
a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the
dirt stains are not removed, repeat this
procedure until the upholstery is clean.
Do not use gasoline, solvent, paint thin-
ner or other strong cleaners.

When to Wax Again
You should polish and wax the car again
when water no longer beads on a clean
surface but spreads out over a larger
area.

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 electro-
lyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the
bumpers. If you do, wash it off imme-
diately with clean water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of soft plastic
and the surface can be damaged if
mistreated. Do not use abrasive clean-
ers. Use warm water and mild soap or
carwashing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. For example, if you have
your car repainted, do not leave the
bumpers on the car if the car is going
to be placed in a high-temperature
paint booth.

To Clean the Leather Upholstery
(If Installed)
In the normal course of use, leather up-
holstered surfaces will, like any material,
pick-up dust and dirt. This dust and dirt
must be cleaned off or it may work into the
surface of the leather, causing damage.
Fine leather needs care, and should be
cleaned when necessary. Washing
leather thoroughly with soap and water
will keep your leather lustrous, beautiful
and ensure you have many years of wear.
Take a piece of cheese cloth and using
any mild soap and lukewarm water, work
up a good lather. Thoroughly wash the
leather. Wipe clean with a slightly damp
cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do this as
often as the leather becomes soiled.
During tanning operations, sufficient oils
are incorporated through processing that
none need be applied during the life of
the leather. Oil applied to the finished
surface will in no way help the leather
and may do more harm than good. Var-
nishes and furniture polishes should
never be used under any conditions.
