Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is asym-
metric. If you go abroad to a country with
an opposite traffic direction, this asym-
metric part will dazzle the oncoming driv-
er. To prevent dazzle, ECE regulations
demand several technical solutions (ex.
automatic change system, adhesive
sheet, down aiming). Headlamps are
designed not to dazzle opposing drivers.
So you don´t need to change your head-
lamps in a country with the opposite traf-
fic direction.
Headlight (Low, HID type) If the light does not operate, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
✽ ✽ NOTICEHID lamps have superior performance
vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps are esti-
mated by the manufacturer to last twice
as long or longer than halogen bulbs
depending on their frequency of use.
They will probably require replacement
at some point in the life of the vehicle.
Cycling the headlamps on and off more
than typical use will shorten HID lamps
life. HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent lamps.
If a headlamp goes out after a period of
operation but will immediately relight
when the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID lamp needs to be
replaced. HID lighting components are
more complex than conventional halo-
gen bulbs thus have higher replacement
cost.
WARNING -
HID Headlight
low beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON bulb)
due to electric shock danger. If the
low beam (XENON bulb) is not
working, we recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

 If a bulb becomes damaged or cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.
 Wear eye protection when chang- ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.
WARNING
- Halogen bulbs
 Halogen bulbs contain pressur-ized gas that will produce flying
pieces of glass if broken.
 Always handle them carefully, and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never touch
the glass with bare hands.
Residual oil may cause the bulb
to overheat and burst when lit. A
bulb should be operated only
when installed in a headlight.
