signals on the left side of the car to blink.
Pushing upwards 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.

it will be reset automatically.

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT
BULBSG260A02L-GATBefore 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 6-35 for the wattage descrip-
tions.
!
CAUTION:
o Keep the lights out of contact with
petroleum products, such as oil,
gasoline, etc.
o Be sure to replace the LED type
equipped bulbs with an assembly.
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.
