Hyundai Elantra: Maintenance / Appearance Care. Exterior Care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
High-pressure washing
- When using high-pressure washers,
make sure to maintain sufficient
distance from the vehicle. Insufficient
clearance or excessive pressure can
lead to component damage or water
penetration.
- Do not spray the camera, sensors or
its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause
the device to not operate normally.
- Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be damaged
if they come into contact with high
pressure water.
- Do not use any high-pressure nozzles,
which induce either one-direct water
stream or water swirling.
1. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently pry the lens from the interior lamp
housing.

Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly

with lukewarm or cold water...
