BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. The fluid level should be
between MAX (Maximum) and MIN
(Minimum) marks on the side of the
reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake/clutch fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly to
prevent brake/clutch fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
(Maximum) level. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage. This is a normal
condition associated with the wear of the
brake linings and/or clutch disc (if
equipped).If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the brake system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants or capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.✽ ✽ NOTICEBefore removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap.
WARNING -
Loss of brake
fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
OLM079008R
WARNING
Clean filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT3 or DOT4 brake/
clutch fluid from a sealed container.
WARNING -
Brake/clutch
fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have
your eyes examined by a doctor as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle's body paint, aspaint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has beenexposed to open air for an extended time should never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. Itshould be properly disposed. Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid. A fewdrops of mineral-based oil, such asengine oil, in your brake/clutch sys- tem can damage brake/clutch sys-tem parts.

7Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
 If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
whilst the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
for 10 hours.
 If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load whilst the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.
Reset itemsItems should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery has
been disconnected.
 Auto up/down window (See section 4)
 Sunroof (See section 4)
 Trip computer (See section 4)
 Climate control system (See section 4)
 Clock (See section 4)
 Audio (See section 4)(Continued)
 Before performing maintenance or recharging the battery, turn off
all accessories and stop the
engine.
 The negative battery cable must be removed first and installed
last when the battery is discon-
nected.
WARNING
- Rechargingbattery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
 The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in an
area with good ventilation.
 Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame near the battery.
 Watch the battery during charg- ing, and stop or reduce the charg-
ing rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if
the temperature of the electrolyte
of any cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
 Wear eye protection when check- ing the battery during charging.
 Disconnect the battery charger in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery ter-
minal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery termi-
nal.

7FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
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, discon-
nect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and we recommend
that you consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.Four kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type, and fusible link for higher amperage rat-ings.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe 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 aluminium 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 anyother metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuitand damage the system.

Maintenance
Turn signal light/Position lightTurn signal light
1. Turn off the engine and open the bon-net.
2. Remove the socket from the assembly by turning the socket counterclockwise
until the tabs on the socket align with
the slots on the assembly.
3. Remove the bulb from the socket by pressing it in and rotating it counter-
clockwise until the tabs on the bulb
align with the slots in the socket. Pull
the bulb out of the socket.
4. Insert a new bulb by inserting it into the socket and rotating it until it locks
into place.
5. Install the socket in the assembly by aligning the tabs on the socket with the
slots in the assembly. Push the socket
into the assembly and turn the socket
clockwise.
Position light
If the light bulb does not operate, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
(Continued)
 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.

Specifications & Consumer information88Recommended SAE viscosity
number Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil
flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils
can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance, however, higher
viscosity engine oils are required for sat-
isfactory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than
those recommended could result in
engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range
of temperature your vehicle will be oper-
ated in before the next oil change.
Proceed to select the recommended oil
viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the areaaround any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking or drain-ing any lubricant. This is especiallyimportant in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used onunpaved roads. Cleaning the plugand dipstick areas will prevent dirtand grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that couldbe damaged.
