G200B01HR-GAT Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found lowon the dashboard on the driver's side. Inside the box you will find a list show- ing the circuits protected by each fuse.If any of your car's lights or other electrical accessories stop working, a blown fuse could be the reason. If thefuse has burned out, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has burned through. If you suspect a blownfuse, follow this procedure: HHR4003
CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amperagerating. Never use a piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious damage andcreate a fire hazard.

Melted
Good
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could becaused by a short in the system draw- ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de-termine the cause, repair the system and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easyinspection. NOTE:
o To replace a fusible link, first tilt
the driver's seatback forward. (Re- fer to "To Inspect the Engine Com- partment Under the Driver's Seat" on page 1-12.) G200A02HRo To open the fuse box cover, press

CHECKING THE BATTERY
G210A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When working with batteries, carefully ob-serve the following precautions to avoid serious injuries. D010B01HR
The fluid in the battery contains a strong solution of sulfuric acid, which is poi- sonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it on yourself or the car. If youdo spill battery fluid on yourself, imme- diately do the following:
NOTE: See page 6-38 for the fuse panel descriptions. G200C01HR-GAT Power Connector
4. Insert the power connector in the
opposite direction.
NOTE:
o If the power connector is pulled up from the fuse panel, the warn- ing chime, audio, clock and inte-rior lamps, etc., will not operate. The following items must be reset after replacement.- Digital Clock
o Even though the power connector
is pulled up, the battery can stillbe discharged by operation of the headlights or other electrical de- vices.
Your vehicle is equipped with a powerconnector to prevent battery discharge if your vehicle is parked without being operated for prolonged periods. Use thefollowing 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 up the power connector.

26POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluidreservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steer- ing pump may be heard immediatelyafter the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warm up, there isno abnormal function in the system. HHR5014CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
!
G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant tem- perature is high. G220C01TB-GAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comeson automatically to be controlled by ECU.
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant temper- ature decreases the fan will automat- ically shut off. This is a normal con-dition.
o When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid toleak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat- tery when the battery cables areconnected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.Never touch these componentswith the engine running or the ignition switched on.

G350B01HR-GAT BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustra-tion if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used fora long time.
1. Loosen the air plug at the upper part of the fuel filter.
NOTE: The fuel filter is located under the driver's seat. To bleed the fuel sys- tem, first tilt the driver's seatback forward. (Refer to "To Inspect theEngine Compartment Under the Driver's Seat." on page 1-12.) HHR4046
2. Pump the hand pump until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air plug. When doing this,place a cloth around the air plug to prevent the escaping fuel from spew- ing about.
3. Tighten the air plug when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand
pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is
no leakage of fuel.If in doubt, consult your nearest au- thorized HYUNDAI dealer. HHR4047
FUEL FILTER
G240A01A-AAT POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re-placed if there is severe surface crack- ing, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora- tion of the hose could cause prema-ture failure.
It is due to a power steering fluidcharacteristic in extremely cold con-ditions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.
