Maintenance
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
In case of matte paint finish vehicles, it is
impossible to modify only the damaged
area and repair of the whole part is
necessary. If the vehicle is damaged
and painting is required, have your
vehicle maintained and repaired by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products. Take extreme care, as it is
difficult to restore the quality after the
repair.
Bright-metal maintenance
ś To remove road tar and insects, use
a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
ś To protect the surfaces of brightmetal
parts from corrosion, apply a coating
of wax or chrome preservative and rub
to a high luster.
ś During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated
rusting can occur on underbody parts
such as the frame and floor pan, 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 forward speed.
