CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
SG200A1-E
Fusible Links
The fusible link prevents damage to the wiring harness in the event of anelectrical system malfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicative of a seri- ous overload condition having occurredand therefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer before a replace-ment link is fitted. G200B01E-EAT Individual Circuit Fuses The fuse box containing the individual circuit fuses will be found in the back- side of multi box located in the rightside of driver. The multi box is re- moved by pulling lightly and then re- leasing the lid. A fuse rating grid will befound on the reverse side of the cover. In the event of fuse failure, the fuse should be replaced with one of equiva-lent rating. A fuse removal tool is provided within the fuse box to facili- tate replacement.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should a
fusible link be replaced with any-thing other than a new link of thesame rating. The use of higher rated links or other means of connecting the circuit will create a potential firehazard.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition. The engine cooling fan should operate before the temperature gauge reaches the upper portion of the scale and thecondenser fan should operate when- ever the air conditioning is in use.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Do not touch the radiator fan until it is completely stopped.
As the coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condition.

o Driving on worn or defective tyres is dangerous. Worn tyres may cause loss of steering controland a serious deterioration of braking efficiency. Defective tyres may cause vibration and loss of control through blow outs.
o Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for saferide and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installedon your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to han-dling failure or rollover and seri- ous injury.

TYRE REPLACEMENT
0.06 in.(1.6 mm)
Wear indicator I090A02FC
Tyres must be replaced when the wear
indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the re- maining tread depth will be approxi- mately 0.06 in.(1.6 mm). In addition tothis, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become bald or if there are any lumps, bulges ordeep cuts in the sidewalls or tread. Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating andshould be of the same manufacture and tread pattern on each axle.
When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with thetyre and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carry- ing capacity. If you neverthelessdecide to equip your vehicle with any tyre/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tyres for highway driving.
Tyres of different size, construction or tread pattern should not be intermixed on the same axle. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be used on the samevehicle.The use of tyres and wheels of nonapproved sizes can be dangerous.
