DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
15USE OF LIGHTSHIGHER SPEED MOTORING
C180A01A-AAT Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in condi- tions of poor visibility, it is helpful todrive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
C170A01A-AAT Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specification. Low tire inflation pres-sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tireswhich may result in reduced traction or tire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and
engine oil:
High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget tocheck both engine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
C190A01HR-GAT If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from province to prov- ince, the requirements for towing trail- ers, cars, other types of vehicles, orapparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
! CAUTION
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 1,000 km (600 miles)in order to allow the engine to prop- erly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en-gine or transmission damage.

G200C01HR-GAT Power Connector Your vehicle is equipped with a power connector 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 coverand pull up the power connector.
HHR4004
NOTE: See page 6-38 for the fuse panel descriptions.
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 fuse box cover to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears tohave burned out.
G200B01HR
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressinga 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, youmay be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an acces- sory you can temporarily get along

Burned out
without (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Always remember toreplace the borrowed fuse.
CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that thereis a problem 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 replacea fuse with anything except a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse couldcause damage and create a fire haz- ard.

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.
!WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When working with batteries, carefully ob-serve the following precautions to avoid serious injuries. 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 you do spill battery fluid on yourself, imme-diately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush
the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medi- cal assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven toget medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a rawegg or drink vegetable oil. Get medi- cal assistance as soon as possible.
! CAUTION:
If you connect unauthorized elec- tronic devices to the battery, the bat-tery may be discharged. Never use unauthorized devices.

31REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBS
If the vehicle has had front body repair and the headlight assembly has been replaced, an headlight aiming should be checked using an aiming screen asshown in the illustration. Turn on the headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is parallel to center line of the body and is aligned with point "P"shown in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show
the center of headlights. SPECIFICATIONS: "H" Horizontal center line of headlights from ground.Low Deck: 815 mm (32.1 in.) High Deck: 820 mm (32.3 in.) "W" Distance between each headlight center : 1,330 mm (52.4 in.) "L" Distance between the headlightsand the wall that the lights are tested against. : 3,000 mm (118 in.). G260A03A-AAT Before attempting to replace a light bulb, be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF" position. The next paragraph shows how to reachthe light bulbs so they may be changed. Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb with one of the same number and watt-age rating. See page 6-37 for the wattage descrip- tions.
CAUTION:
o Keep the lamps out of contact with petroleum products, such as oil,gasoline, etc.
o After heavy, driving rain or wash- ing, headlight and taillight lensescould appear frosty. This condi-tion is caused by the temperature difference between the lamp in- side and outside. This is similar tothe 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 Authorized Hyundai Dealer.
