sory you can temporarily get along without (the radio or cigarette light- er, for example). Always rememberto replace the borrowed fuse. CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates thatthere is a problem in the electricalcircuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is seriousand should be referred to a Hyun- dai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse with anythingexcept a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could cause damageand create a fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-38 for the fuse panel descriptions.

TWO WAY RADIO INSTALLATION
This vehicle is fitted with electronically controlled fuel injection or other micro processor controlled equipment. It is possible for incorrectly installed two way radio equipment including mobile telephones to adversely affect these systems.Before radio equipment of this kind is installed, please contact your Hyundai dealer for recommendation regarding the suitability of the particular radio equipment concerned and the recommended method of installation and equipment location.Incorrectly installed or unsuitable equipment which gives rise to incorrect functioning of or damage to electronic vehicle components will not fall within the scope of the vehicle manufacturers warranty.
CAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO ORIGINAL VEHICLE SPECIFICATION
Modification to the original vehicle specification may invalidate the manufacturers warranty and may adversely affect the safety and durability of the vehicle. Components which are subject to modification or are added to the original vehicle specification without the express approval of the manufacturer and result in conse-quential loss or damage are not covered by the vehicle manufacturers warranty.!

Iron bridges
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequency and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this,
FM broadcasts generally begin to fade
at short distances from the station.
Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstruc-
tions. These can result in certain lis-
tening conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequency. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather
than travelling straight out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.
B750A02A-AAT
STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your car. This
signal is then received by the radio and
sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering
of your audio system ensures high
quality reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your ve-
hicle is not strong and clear. This can
be due to factors such as the distance
from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres- ence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.

o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger sig-
nal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.
o Fading - As your car moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to
fade. When this occurs, we suggest
that you select another stronger sta-
tion.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or flut-
tering noises to occur. Reducing the
treble level may lessen this effect
until the disturbance clears. B750B02Y-AAT
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far
as possible from the audio equipment.
!
CAUTION:
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system and ad-
versely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving, you must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.
