Maintenance
Reset items
Items should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery has
been disconnected.
• Power trunk (See section 4)
• Sunroof (See section 4)
• Trip computer (See section 4)
• Climate control system
(See section 4)
• Clock (See section 4)
• Audio (See section 4)WARNING
• Before performing maintenance
or recharging the battery, turn off
all accessories and stop the
engine.
• The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed
last when the battery is discon-
nected.
• Operation related to the battery
should be done in an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
• Keep the battery away from water
or any liquid.
• The battery is in the trunk, so you
should be careful when you load
a container filled with liquid into
the trunk.
• For your safety, use the authentic-
ity by approved authorized
HYUNDAI dealer, when you
replace the battery.
WARNING- Recharging
battery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
• The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in an
area with good ventilation.
• Do not allow cigarettes, sparks,
or flame near the battery.
• Watch the battery during charg-
ing, and stop or reduce the charg-
ing rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if
the temperature of the electrolyte
of any cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
• Wear eye protection when check-
ing the battery during charging.
• Disconnect the battery charger in
the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main
switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from
the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from
the positive battery terminal.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.This vehicle has 4 fuse panels, one locat-
ed in the driver’s side panel bolster,
another is in the front passenger’s side
panel bolster, the others are in the
engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has
blown, the element inside the fuse will be
melted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, discon-
nect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and immediately
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type,
and fusible link for higher amperage rat-
ings.
✽NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.
WARNING - Fuse replace-
ment
• Never replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
• A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly a
fire.
• Never install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.

Maintenance
Headlight (HID/LED type) bulb
replacement
If the light bulb is not operating, have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
HID/LED lamps have superior per-
formance vs. halogen bulbs. HID/LED
lamps are estimated by the manufactur-
er to last twice as long or longer than
halogen bulbs depending on their fre-
quency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point in the
life of the vehicle. Cycling the head-
lamps on and off more than typical use
will shorten HID/LED lamps life. HID/
LED lamps do not fail in the same man-
ner as halogen incandescent lamps. If a
headlamp goes out after a period of
operation but will immediately relight
when the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID/LED lamp needs to be
replaced. HID/LED lighting compo-
nents are more complex than conven-
tional halogen bulbs thus have higher
replacement cost.
Headlight bulb (High)
OHD076046
WARNING- Halogen bulbs
• Halogen bulbs contain pressur-
ized gas that will produce flying
pieces of glass if broken.
• Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never touch
the glass with bare hands.
Residual oil may cause the bulb
to overheat and burst when lit. A
bulb should be operated only
when installed in a headlight.
(Continued)
WARNING -
HID/LED Headlight low
beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON bulb/
LED) due to electric shock danger.
If the low beam (XENON bulb/LED)
is not working, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Specifications & Consumer information
Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil
flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils
can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance, however, higher
viscosity engine oils are required for sat-
isfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those rec-
ommended could result in engine dam-
age.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking or drain-
ing any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas
and when the vehicle is used on
unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug
and dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the engine
and other mechanisms that could
be damaged.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operat-
ed in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.
