Maintenance
✽ NOTICE
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to the
environment and human health.
Dispose the battery according
to your local law(s) or regula-
tion.
❈The actual battery label in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
Battery capacity label
1. CMF65L-BCI : HYUNDAI model name
of battery
2. 12V : Nominal voltage
3. 60Ah(20HR) : Nominal capacity
(in Ampere hours)
4. 92RC : Nominal reserve capacity
(in min.)
5. 550CCA : Cold-test current
(in amperes by SAE)
6. 440A : Cold-test current
(in amperes by EN)
Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.
OJD072039 ■Example
CAUTION
To prevent damage to your vehicle:
• Only use a 12-volt power supply
(battery or jumper system) to
jump start your vehicle.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by push-starting.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one locat-
ed in the driver’s side panel bolster, the
other in the engine compartment near
the battery.
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
melt.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
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 we recommend
that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽NOTICE
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and fusible link for higher
amperage ratings.OJC070046D Normal Normal ■Blade type
■Cartridge type
■Multi fuseBlown

Normal Blown
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.
