o After heavy, driving rain or wash-ing, headlight and taillight lenses could appear frosty. This condi-tion is caused by the temperature difference between the lamp in- side and outside. This is similarto the condensation on your win- dows inside your vehicle during the rain and doesn’t indicate aproblem with your vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checkedby an authorised Hyundai dealer.
