CHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSESG200A03A-AATReplacing a Fusible LinkA fusible link will melt if the electrical cir-
cuits from the battery are ever overloaded,
thus preventing damage to the entire wir-
ing harness. (This could be caused by a
short in the system drawing too much cur-
rent.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai
dealer determine the cause, repair the
system and replace the fusible link. The
fusible links are located in a relay box in the
engine compartement for easy inspection.

ing it.
6. Installation is the reverse order of disas-
sembly.

CAUTION:
To prevent pollutants from entering the
car, be sure to properly install the air
conditioner filter.

(If Installed)The parking brake pedal should be
checked periodically for proper stroke. If
you feel looseness in the parking brake
pedal when the parking brake is engaged,
have your parking brake adjusted by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.CHECKING PARKING

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.

G200C01CM-GATPower connectorNOTE:
o If the power connector is pulled out of
the fuse panel, the warning chime,
audio, clock and interior lamps, etc.,
will not operate. The following items
must be reset after replacement.
- Digital Clock
- Trip computer
- Automatic heating and cooling con-
trol system
- Audio
o Even though the power connector is
pulled out, the battery can still be
discharged by operation of the head-
lights or other electrical devices.
Your vehicle is equipped with a power
connector to prevent battery discharge if
your vehicle is parked without being oper-
ated for prolonged periods. Use the follow-
ing procedures before parking the vehicle
for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover and
pull out the power connector.
4. Insert the power connector in the oppo-
site direction.

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

If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted
area.
If you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical atten-
tion immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a bat-
tery.
Always provide ventilation
when working in an enclosed
space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak, resulting in
personal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on opposite
corners.
o Never attempt to charge the battery
when the battery cables are con-
nected.
o The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage.
Never touch these components with
the engine running or the ignition
switched on.

WARNING:
CHECKING ELECTRIC
COOLING FANS!
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan, so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling FanThe condenser cooling fan should come
on automatically whenever the air condi-
tioning is in operation.G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on
automatically if the engine coolant tem-
perature is high.

G240A01A-AATPower Steering HosesIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure.NOTE:o Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing pump may be heard immediately
after the engine is started in extremely
cold conditions (below - 4°F). If the
noise stops during warm up, there is
no abnormal function in the system. It
is due to a power steering fluid char-
acteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.
oDo not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A01MC-AATThe power steering fluid level should be
checked regularly. To check the power
steering fluid level, be sure the engine is
"OFF", then check to make certain that the
power steering fluid level is between the
"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the
fluid reservoir.

FOR MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR HYUNDAIG250A01A-AATIf you desire additional information about
maintaining and servicing your Hyundai,
you may purchase a factory Shop Manual
at your Hyundai dealer's parts department.
This is the same manual used by dealer-
ship technicians and while it is highly tech-
nical it can be useful in obtaining a better
understanding of your car and how it works.

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.
