12V Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the 12V battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for example,
the headlights or interior lights were
left on while the vehicle was not in
use), jump start it from another vehi-
cle’s 12V battery or recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the 12V battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.CALIFORNIA PROPOSI-
TION 65 WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and relat-
ed accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and reproduc-
tive harm. Batteries also contain
other chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer. Wash
hands after handling.
CAUTION
When you don’t use the vehicle
for a long time in the low temper-ature, remove the 12V battery andstore it indoors.
Always charge the 12V battery fully to prevent 12V battery casedamage in low temperatures.
If you connect unauthorized elec- tronic devices to the 12V battery,the 12V battery may be dis- charged. Never use unauthorizeddevices.
(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak, resulting in personal injury.
Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery cables
are connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with the
engine running or the engine
start/stop button positioned on.
Failure to follow the above warn-
ings can result in serious bodily
injury or death.

Instrument panel fuse replace-
ment
1. Turn the engine start/stop button and
all other switches off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover. 3. Pull the suspected fuse straight out.
Use the removal tool provided in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you maynot need for operating the vehicle, suchas the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical com-
ponents 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
Your vehicle is equipped with a memory
fuse to prevent 12V battery discharge if
your vehicle is parked without being
operated for prolonged periods. Use the
following procedures before parking the
vehicle for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover and pull up the memory fuse.

Maintenance
LIGHT BULBS
Use only bulbs of the specified wattage.
✽
✽NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the engine start/stop button is
in the OFF position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers or receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattagerating. Otherwise, it may causedamage to the fuse or electricwiring system.CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools,the correct bulbs and the expertise,consult an authorized HYUNDAIdealer. In many cases, it is difficultto replace vehicle light bulbsbecause other parts of the vehicle must be removed before you canget to the bulb. This is especiallytrue if you have to remove the head-light assembly to
get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installingthe headlight
assembly can result in damage to the vehicle.
WARNING
When you replace the front head-
lamp bulb be careful of the HPCU
system, the high voltage cable
(orange color), and high voltage
components for the hybrid system.
It is very dangerous because the
HPCU has high voltage. Do not
touch high voltage systems or it
could result in the electric shock or
burns or even death.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped withHigh Intensity Discharge (HID)headlights, these headlights con- tain mercury. So if you need to haveyour vehicle disposed, you shouldremove the HID Headlights before disposal. The removed HID head-lights should be recycled, re-used or disposed as hazardous waste.
