3. Replace the air cleaner filter.
4. Reassemble in the reverse order ofremoval. Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the ele-ment more often than the usual recom-
mended intervals. (Refer to“Maintenance under severe usage condi-tions” in this chapter.)
CAUTION
Do not drive with the air cleaner removed; this will result in exces-
sive engine wear.
When removing the air cleaner fil- ter, be careful that dust or dirtdoes not enter the air intake, or
damage may result.
We recommend that you use parts for replacement from anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer. Useof improper parts could damage
the air flow sensor or turbo charg-er.

BATTERY
For best battery service
Keep the battery securely mounted.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with petroleum
jelly or terminal grease.

WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling the
battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away
from the battery.
Hydrogen is always present in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach
of children.
Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which is highly corro-
sive. Do not allow acid to
contact your eyes, skin or
clothing.
(Continued)(Continued)
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If acid gets on
your skin, thoroughly wash the
area. If you feel pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
When lifting a plastic-cased bat-tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak. Lift with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite cor-
ners.
Do not attempt to jump start your vehicle if your battery is frozen.
NEVER attempt to recharge the battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the bat-
tery.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. NEVER
touch these components with theengine running or when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.

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 willmelt.
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.

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.

In an emergency, 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 headlights or other electrical com-
ponents do not work and the fuses are
OK, check the fuse block in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it mustbe replaced.
Fuse switch (for Type A)
Always, put the fuse switch at the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF posi-
tion, some items must be reset and
remote key or smart key may not work
properly.
CAUTION
Always place the fuse switch in
the ON position while driving the
vehicle. If the switch is in the OFF position, a warning will appear onthe instrument cluster. (Refer to“Instrument Cluster” in chapter 4.)
The theft alarm system will not activate with the fuse switch in theOFF position.
