2010 Hyundai Elantra Owners Manual

WARNING - Wet brakes

After washing the vehicle, test the brakes while driving slowly to see if they have been affected by water. If braking performance is impaired, dry the brakes by applying them lightly while maintaining a slow for- ward speed.

OJB037800

CAUTION

(cid:129) Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressure water washing may cause the fail- ure of electrical circuits located in the engine compartment.

(cid:129) Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electri- cal/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.

Waxing Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint. Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing. Use a good quality liquid or paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect it and to maintain its luster. Removing oil, tar, and similar materials with a spot remover will usually strip the wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not yet need waxing.

CAUTION

(cid:129) Wiping dust or dirt off the body with a dry cloth will scratch the finish.

(cid:129) Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents containing highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome-plated or anodized aluminum parts.This may result in damage to the pro- tective coating and cause discol- oration or paint deterioration.

Finish damage repair Deep scratches or stone chips in the painted surface must be repaired promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust and may develop into a major repair expense.

✽✽ NOTICE If your vehicle is damaged and requires any metal repair or replacement, be sure the body shop applies anti-corrosion materials to the parts repaired or replaced.

Bright-metal maintenance (cid:129) To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover, not a scraper or other sharp object.

(cid:129) To protect the surfaces of bright-metal parts from corrosion, apply a coating of wax or chrome preservative and rub to a high luster.

(cid:129) During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts with a heavier coating of wax or preserva- tive. If necessary, coat the parts with non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other protective compound.

Maintenance

Underbody maintenance Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control may col- lect on the underbody. If these materials are not removed, accelerated rusting can occur on underbody parts such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system, even though they have been treated with rust protection. Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody and wheel openings with lukewarm or cold water once a month, after off-road driving and at the end of each winter. Pay special attention to these areas because it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to wet down the road grime without removing it. The lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and frame members have drain holes that should not be allowed to clog with dirt; trapped water in these areas can cause rusting.

WARNING

After washing the vehicle, test the brakes while driving slowly to see if they have been affected by water. If braking performance is impaired, dry the brakes by applying them lightly while maintaining a slow for- ward speed.

Maintenance

Aluminum wheel maintenance The aluminum wheels are coated with a clear protective finish. (cid:129) Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol- ishing compound, solvent, or wire brushes on aluminum wheels. They may scratch or damage the finish.

(cid:129) Use only a mild soap or neutral deter- gent, and rinse thoroughly with water. Also, be sure to clean the wheels after driving on salted roads. This helps pre- vent corrosion.

(cid:129) Avoid washing the wheels with high-

speed car wash brushes.

(cid:129) Do not use any cleaners containing acid or acid detergents. It may damage and corrode the aluminum wheels coated with a clear protective finish.

62

Moisture breeds corrosion Moisture creates the conditions in which corrosion is most likely to occur. For example, corrosion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when tempera- tures are just above freezing. In such conditions, the corrosive material is kept in contact with the car surfaces by mois- ture 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 appears to be dry, it can still retain the moisture and promote corrosion. High temperatures can also accelerate corrosion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dis- persed. For all these reasons, it is par- ticularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. This applies not only to the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of the car.

Corrosion protection Protecting your vehicle from corro- sion By using the most advanced design and construction practices to combat corro- sion, we produces cars of the highest quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve the long-term corrosion resistance your vehicle can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required.

Common causes of corrosion The most common causes of corrosion on your car are: (cid:129) Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to accumulate underneath the car.

(cid:129) Removal of paint or protective coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapes and dents which leave unpro- tected metal exposed to corrosion.

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.

To help prevent corrosion You can help prevent corrosion from get- ting started by observing the following:

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.

(cid:129) 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.

(cid:129) When cleaning underneath the car, give particular attention to the compo- nents under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening the accu- mulated mud rather than washing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water under high pres- sure and steam are particularly effec- tive in removing accumulated mud and corrosive materials.

(cid:129) When cleaning lower door panels, rocker panels and frame members, be sure that drain holes are kept open so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to accelerate corrosion.

Keep your garage dry Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a favor- able environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash your car in the garage or drive it into the garage when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated so moisture is dispersed.

Maintenance

Keep paint and trim in good condition Scratches or chips in the finish should be covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of cor- rosion. If bare metal is showing through, the attention of a qualified body and paint shop is recommended.

Bird droppings : Bird droppings are high- ly corrosive and may damage painted surfaces in just a few hours. Always remove bird droppings as soon as possi- ble.

Don't neglect the interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning materials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in proper containers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up, flushed with clean water and thoroughly dried.

7 63

Maintenance

Interior care Interior general precautions Prevent caustic solutions such as per- fume and cosmetic oil from contacting the dashboard because they may cause damage or discoloration. If they do con- tact the dashboard, wipe them off imme- diately. See the instructions that follow for the proper way to clean vinyl.

CAUTION

Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may dam- age them.

CAUTION

When cleaning leather products (steering wheel, seats etc.), use neutral detergents or low alcohol content solutions. If you use high alcohol content solutions or acid/alkaline detergents, the color of the leather may fade or the sur- face may get stripped off.

64

Cleaning the upholstery and interior trim Vinyl Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.

Fabric Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solution recom- mended for upholstery or carpets. Remove fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not receive immediate attention, the fabric can be stained and its color can be affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties can be reduced if the material is not properly maintained.

CAUTION

Using anything but recommended cleaners and procedures may affect the fabric’s appearance and fire- resistant properties.

Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt web- bing Clean the belt webbing with any mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow the instruc- tions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the webbing because this may weaken it.

Cleaning the interior window glass If the interior glass surfaces of the vehi- cle become fogged (that is, covered with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should be cleaned with glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the glass cleaner container.

CAUTION

Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the rear window.This may result in damage to the rear window defroster grid.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM The emission control system of your vehicle is covered by a written limited warranty. Please see the warranty infor- mation contained the Owner’s Handbook & Warranty Information book- let in your vehicle. Your vehicle is equipped with an emis- sion control system to meet all emission regulations. There are three emission control sys- tems which are as follows.

in

(1) Crankcase emission control system (2) Evaporative emission control system (3) Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper function of the emission control systems, it is rec- ommended that you have your car inspected and maintained by an author- ized Hyundai dealer in accordance with the maintenance schedule in this manu- al.

the

Caution Inspection and Maintenance Test (With Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system) (cid:129) To prevent the vehicle from misfir- ing during dynamometer testing, turn the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system off by pressing the ESC switch.

(cid:129) After dynamometer testing is com- pleted, turn the ESC system back on by pressing the ESC switch again.

1. Crankcase emission control

system

The positive crankcase ventilation sys- tem is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase. This system supplies fresh filtered air to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, which then pass through the PCV valve into the induction system.

Maintenance

2. Evaporative emission control

(including ORVR: Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) System

The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmos- phere. (The ORVR system is designed to allow the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into a canister while refueling at the gas station, preventing the escape of fuel vapors into the atmosphere.)

Canister Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the onboard canister. When the engine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canister are drawn into the surge tank through the purge control solenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) The purge control solenoid valve is con- trolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when the engine coolant temper- ature is low during idling, the PCSV clos- es so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the engine. After the engine warms- up during ordinary driving, the PCSV opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the engine.

7 65

Maintenance

3. Exhaust emission control

system

The Exhaust Emission Control System is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining good vehicle performance.

Vehicle modifications This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and emissions regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may not be covered under warranty.

Engine exhaust gas precautions (car- bon monoxide) (cid:129) Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, have it inspected and repaired immediately. If you ever sus- pect exhaust fumes are coming into your vehicle, drive it only with all the windows fully open. Have your vehicle checked and repaired immediately.

66

(cid:129) Do not operate the engine in confined or closed areas (such as garages) any more than what is necessary to move the vehicle in or out of the area.

(cid:129) When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short time with the engine running, adjust the ventilation system (as needed) to draw outside air into the vehicle.

(cid:129) Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi- cle for any extended time with the engine running.

(cid:129) When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart the engine may cause damage to the emission control system.

WARNING - Exhaust

Engine exhaust gases contain car- bon monoxide (CO). Though color- less and odorless, it is dangerous and could be lethal if inhaled. Follow the instructions on this page to avoid CO poisoning.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSI- TION 65 WARNING

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehi- cle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, cer- tain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

(cid:129) Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5 minutes or more).

(cid:129) Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control sys- tem. All inspections and adjustments must be made by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

(cid:129) Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of gasoline, it could cause the engine to misfire and result in excessive loading of the catalytic converter.

CAUTION

Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug,drain plug,or dipstick before checking or drain- ing any lubricant.This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that could be damaged.

Specifications, Consumer information, Reporting safety defects

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operation (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine oils are required for sat- isfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any viscosity other than those rec- ommended could result in engine dam- age.

When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be oper- ated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.
