CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the
same or lower amperage rating. Never
use a piece of wire or a higher-rated
fusible link. This could result in serious
damage and create a fire hazard.
G200B02HP-AATReplacing Accessory Fuses
OCM054002
The fuse box for the lights and other elec-
trical accessories will be found low on the
dashboard on the driver's side. Inside the
box you will find a list showing the circuits
protected by each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown(open)
fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has
burned out, you will see that the metal strip
inside the fuse has melted through. If you
suspect a blown fuse, follow this proce-
dure:1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each
fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it
toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is
contained in the relay and fuse box of
the engine room to simplify this opera-
tion).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if
you find one that appears to have burned
out.

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. If you do not have
a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow
a fuse of the same or lower rating from
an accessory you can temporarily get
along without (the radio or cigarette
lighter, for example). Always remember
to replace the borrowed fuse.

GoodBurned out
CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that there is
a problem in the electrical circuit. If you
replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the
accessory is turned on, the problem is
serious and should be referred to a
Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair.
Never replace a fuse with anything ex-
cept a fuse with the same or a lower
amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse
could cause damage and create a fire
hazard.

tions.

ated for prolonged periods. Use the follow-
ing procedures before parking the vehicle
for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.

CHECKING THE BATTERY!
G210A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When work-
ing with batteries, carefully observe the
following precautions to avoid serious
injuries.
The fluid in the battery contains a strong
solution of sulfuric acid, which is poison-
ous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to
spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill
battery fluid on yourself, immediately do
the following:
OCM055016

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
21
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assis-
tance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out
your eyes with water and get medical
assistance as soon as possible. While
you are being driven to get medical
assistance, continue to rinse your eyes
by using a sponge or soft cloth satu-
rated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large
quantity of water or milk followed by milk
of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink
vegetable oil. Get medical assistance
as soon as possible.
While batteries are being charged (either
by a battery charger or by the vehicle's
generator), they produce explosive gases.
Always observe these warnings to prevent
injuries from occurring:
o Charge batteries only in a well venti-
lated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smok-
ing in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
!
G210B04A-AATChecking the BatteryKeep the battery clean. Any evidence of
corrosion around the battery posts or ter-
minals should be removed using a solu-
tion of household baking soda and warm
water. After the battery terminals are dry,
cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:Always read the following in-
structions carefully when han-
dling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all
other flames or sparks away
from the battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly
combustible gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach
of children because batteries
contain highly corrosive SUL-
FURIC ACID. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your skin,
eyes, clothing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into your
eyes, flush your eyes with
clean water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate medi-
cal attention. If possible, con-
tinue to apply water with a
sponge or cloth until medical
attention is received.
!
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds, chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer and repro-
ductive harm.
Batteries also contain other chemicals
known to the state of California to cause
cancer. Wash hands after handling.

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT
BULBSG260A01CM-AATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"
position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach
the light bulbs so they may be changed. Be
sure to replace the burned-out bulb with
one of the same number and wattage
rating.
CAUTION:
o Keep the lamps out of contact with
petroleum products, such as oil, gaso-
line, etc.
o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature difference
between the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle
during the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the water
leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have
the vehicle checked by an Authorized
Hyundai Dealer.
