lIGhT BulBS
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to replace most vehicle light
bulbs. It is difficult to replace vehicle
light bulbs because other parts of the
vehicle must be removed before you
can get to the bulb. This is especially
true for removing the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.Information
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 dur
ing the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb circuit
ry, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Be sure to replace the burnedout
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause dam
age to the fuse or electric wiring sys
tem.
NOTICE
i
Prior to replacing a light, depress
the foot brake, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transaxle vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicle), apply
the parking brake, place the igni
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF posi
tion, and take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle to avoid
sudden movement of the vehicle
and to prevent possible electric
shock.
Be aware the bulbs may be hot
and may burn your fingers.
