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 have 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 authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.
✽NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ from equipped items.
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 alumini-
um 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 as it may cause a short
circuit and damage the system.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
All bulbs are available from your
HYUNDAI dealers Parts
Department.
WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on a light, firm-
ly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is turned to the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.CAUTION
Be sure to replace a blown bulb
with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric
wiring system.
CAUTION
Headlight aiming adjustment
may be necessary after the
headlight assembly is rein-
stalled. If you are unsure how to
replace or aim the headlight, we
recommend that you consult
with an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION
If you don’t have the necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, consult an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. In many cases,
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 if you
have to remove the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Take care when
removing/installing the head-
light assembly to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.

Maintenance
✽NOTICE
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps
are estimated 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
headlights on and off more than typ-
ical use will shorten HID lamps life.
HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent
lamps. If a headlight goes out after a
period of operation, but will imme-
diately relight when the headlight
switch is cycled, it is likely the HID
lamp needs to be replaced. HID
lighting components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen
bulbs, and so have higher replace-
ment cost.
✽NOTICE
We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted after an accident
or after the headlight assembly is rein-
stalled, at an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
1. Open the bonnet.
2. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.
3. Loosen the retaining bolts and
remove the headlight assembly
from the body of the vehicle. If you
can reach to the bulb without
removing the headlight assembly,
you don’t need do step 3.
4. Disconnect the power connec-
tor(s) from the back of the head-
light assembly.

❈Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direc-
tion, this asymmetric part will dazzle
oncoming car driver. To prevent daz-
zle, ECE regulation demand several
technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet,
down aiming). These headlights are
designed not to dazzle opposite driv-
ers. So, you need not change your
headlights in a country with opposite
traffic direction.
