G200B02JM-AATReplacing Accessory Fuses
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.
The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
accessories will be found on the left side of
crash pad. 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 opened, you
will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has
melted through. If you suspect a blown fuse,
follow this procedure:
G200A03A-AATReplacing a Fusible LinkA fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from
the battery are ever overloaded, thus prevent-
ing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This
could be caused by a short in the system
drawing too much current.) 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.

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 tempo-
rarily get along without (the radio or cigarette
lighter, for example). Always remember to
replace the borrowed fuse.
CAUTION:
An open fuse indicates that there is a prob-
lem 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 except a fuse with the same
or a lower amperage rating. A higher capac-
ity fuse could cause damage and create a
fire hazard.NOTE:See page 6-35 for the fuse panel descrip-
tions.
GoodOpen-Replace 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 operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you
find one that appears to have opened.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELG230A03A-AAT
G220C01A-AAT
Checking Condenser Cooling FanThe condenser cooling fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning is in
operation.
The 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.
NOTE:Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the
engine is started in extremely cold condi-
tions (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 characteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.
G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS!
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. 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 de-
creases the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.

HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
6. Draw a vertical line (through the center of
each headlight beam pattern) and a horizon-
tal line (through the center of each headlight
beam pattern) on the aiming screen.
And then, draw a parallel line at 0.8 in. (21
mm) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the
parallel line with a phillips screwdriver -
VERTICAL AIMING.
G290A03O-AATBefore 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 & rear bumper down sev-
eral times.
Place vehicle at a distance of 118 in. (3m)
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 light lenses and turn on the
headlights (Low beam).
5. Open the hood.
G250A01A-AATFOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR HYUNDAIIf you desire additional information about main-
taining 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 dealership technicians and
while it is highly technical it can be useful in
obtaining a better understanding of your car and
how it works.G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be replaced
if there is severe surface cracking, pulling,
scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose
could cause premature failure. Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluidNOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBS!
G260A02A-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.
See page 6-34 for the wattage description.
CAUTION:
o Keep the lamps out of contact with pe-
troleum products, such as oil, gasoline,
etc.
o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could ap-
pear 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.
HJM5013 G270A02O-AAT
Headlight and Front Turn Signal Light1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Open the engine hood.
3. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base,
avoid touching the glass.
4. Using a socket wrench of the correct size,
remove the headlight assembly mounting
bolts.

5. Disconnect the power cord from the bulb
base in the back of the headlight.
