You can use the fog lights only when
the headlights are on low beam.
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position, you can also use the
fog lights when the headlights turn on
automatically. The fog lights will go
OFF when the headlights turn OFF.Hazard warning flasher
The Hazard Warning Flasher should
be used whenever you find it neces-
sary to stop the car in a hazardous
location. When you must make such
an emergency stop, always pull off
the road as far as possible.
The hazard warning lights are turned
on and off by pushing in the hazard
switch. This causes all turn signal
lights to blink. The Hazard Warning
Lights will operate even though the
ignition switch is in the LOCK/OFFposition.

consume large amounts of vehi-
cle electrical power. Only use the
fog lights when visibility is poor.

Driving your vehicle
5
Keep your headlights clean andproperly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it muchmore difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on thewindshield. Be sure your tires have enough
tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See “Tire Tread ”in chapter 7.
Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.

Maintenance
Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, 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. Always follow these instruc-
tions when recharging your
vehicle’s battery to avoid the
risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH from explosions or acid
burns:
Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and place the ignition switchin the LOCK/OFF position.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed ina well ventilated area.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin boiling violently.
The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the battery
is disconnected. Disconnect
the battery charger in the fol-
lowing order:
(1) Turn off the battery charg-er main switch.
(2) Unhook the negative clamp from the negative
battery terminal.
(3) Unhook the positive clamp from the positive batteryterminal.
Always use a genuine
HYUNDAI approved battery
when you replace the battery.

Maintenance
In an emergency, if you do not have
a spare fuse, use a fuse of the same
rating from a circuit you may not
need for operating the vehicle, such
as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is blown, it must be replaced.Memory fuse (SHUNT connector)
Your vehicle is equipped with a mem-
ory fuse (SHUNT connector) to pre-
vent battery discharge if your vehicle
is parked without being operated for
prolonged periods. Use the following
procedures before parking the vehi-
cle for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and parkinglights.
3. Open the driver's side panel cover and pull out the memory fuse (SHUNT connector).
✽✽ NOTICE
 If the memory fuse is pulled up from the fuse panel, the warning
chime, audio, clock and interior
lamps, etc., will not operate. Some
items must be reset after replace-
ment. Refer to "Battery" in this
chapter.
 Even though the memory fuse is pulled up, the battery can still be
discharged by operation of the
headlights or other electrical
devices.
