4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing
a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer.
1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse bypulling it toward you (a small "fusepuller" tool is contained in the relay and fuse box of the engine room to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears tohave burned out.
G200B02MC
If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an acces- sory you can temporarily get alongwithout (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Always remember to replace the borrowed fuse.
G200B02L
Good B
urned out CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that there is a problem in the electrical circuit. If you replace a fuse and itblows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is serious and should be referred to a Hyun-dai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse with anything except a fuse with the same or alower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and create a fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-35 for the fuse panel descriptions.

26HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the
center of each headlight beam pat-tern) and the horizontal line (throughthe center of each headlight beam pattern) on the aiming screen. And then, draw a horizontal parallel line at 30 mm (1.18 in.) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillipsscrewdriver - VERTICAL AIMING.
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low
beam to each vertical line with aphillips screwdriver - HORIZONTAL AIMING. Horizontal aiming
Vertical aiming
If the vehicle has had front body repair and the headlight assembly has beenreplaced, an headlight aiming should be checked using an aiming screen as shown in the illustration. Turn on theheadlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axisof light is parallel to center line of the body and is aligned with point "P" shown in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show the center of headlights.
G290B01MC-GAT Adjustment After Headlight As- sembly Replacement
G290A03A-GAT Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground
and press the front bumper and rear bumper down several times. Place the vehicle at a distance of 3,000 mm (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tire,jack, and tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the head lights lenses and turn on the headlight (low beam). G290B01B

I040A02S-GAT SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's door edge, or up to the maximum pressure shownon the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.
These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combinationof ride comfort, tire wear and stability under normal conditions. Tire pres- sures should be checked at leastmonthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should be maintained for these rea- sons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pres-
sures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire
pressures increase the chance ofdamage from impacts and cause uneven tread wear. CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least threehours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pres-sure of other tires.
o Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tires have been dam-aged, replace them.

I050A01MC-AAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be surethat the chains are installed in accor- dance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions.To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed. I060A02A-AAT TIRE ROTATION Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque.
WARNING:
o If your vehicle is equipped with 205/45R16 size tires, do not install tire chains. This may cause dam-age to the vehicle (wheels, sus-pension and body) by chains con-tacting the body.
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains contacting the body, retighten thechain to avoid contact with thevehicle body. I060A01HP
Spare tire
WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires under any circumstances. Thismay cause dangerous handling char- acteristics.
o To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.5~1 km.
o Don't use tire chains on a vehicle equipped with aluminium wheels. If it is unavoidable, use wire typechains.
o Use wire chains less than 15 mm to prevent damage to the chain'sconnection.
