Turn Signal OperationPulling down on the lever causes the turn
signals on the left side of the car to blink.
Pushing upward on the lever causes the
turn signals on the right side of the car to
blink. As the turn is completed, the lever
will automatically return to the center
position and turn off the turn signals at the
same time. If either turn signal indicator
light blinks more rapidly than usual, goes
on but does not blink, or does not go on
at all, there is a malfunction in the system.
Check for a burned-out fuse or bulb or
see your Hyundai dealer.

o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation 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.
