Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tyre bal-
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1.6 mm of tread left
on the tyre. Replace the tyre when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.

Tread wear indicator
CAUTION
Improper wheel balance
weights can damage your vehi-
cle's aluminium wheels. Use
only approved wheel balance
weights.
CAUTION
When replacing the tyres,
recheck and tighten the wheel
nuts after driving about 1,000
km. If the steering wheel shakes
or the vehicle vibrates whilst
driving, the tyre is out of bal-
ance. Align the tyre balance. If
the problem is not solved, we
recommend that you contact an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance
5. Push in a new fuse of the same
rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips.
If it fits loosely, we recommend that
you consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
If you do not have a spare, 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 electrical components do not
work and the fuses are OK, check
the fuse panel in the engine com-
partment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.
Fuse switch
Always, put the mode switch in the
ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF
position, some items such as the
audio and digital clock must be reset.
Also, the transmitter (or smart key)
may not work properly.
Engine compartment panel
fuse replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and all

cover.
CAUTION
Always place the fuse switch in
the ON position whilst driving
the vehicle.
