FuSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro
tected from electrical overload dam
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bol
ster, the other in the engine compart
ment 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 will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s side
fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis
connect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme
diately consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, SlowBlow type and multi fuse for higheramperage ratings.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
Information
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items. i

Maintenance
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.
