Battery recharging  
Yo u r   v e h i c l e   h a s   a   m a i n t e n a n c e - f r e e ,
calcium-based battery.
•If the battery becomes discharged
over  a  shor t  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  electrical  load
whilst  the  vehicle  is  being  used,
recharge it at 20-30A for two hours.OLMB073072
■Example
When  recharging  the  battery,
observe  the  following  precau-
tions:
•Before  performing  mainte-
nance  or  recharging  the  bat-
tery, turn  off  all  accessories
and stop the engine.
•Do not allow cigarettes, sparks,
or flame near the battery.
•Wear  eye  protection  when
checking  the  battery  during
charging.
•The  battery  must  be  removed
from the vehicle and placed in
an area with good ventilation.
•Watch  the  battery  during
charging, and  stop  or  reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells  begin  gassing  (boiling)
violently  or  if  the  temperature
of  the  electrolyte  of  any  cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).

Maintenance
Do  not  use  a  screwdriver  or  any
other  metal  object  to  remove
fuses  because  it  may  cause  a
short  circuit  and  damage  the  sys-
tem.
•When replacing a blown fuse or
relay with a new one, make sure
the  new  fuse  or  relay  fits  tightly
into  the  clips. An  inadequately
fastened  fuse  or  relay  may
cause vehicle wiring and electri-
cal system damage, and a possi-
ble fire.
•Do not remove fuses,relays and
terminals  fastened  with  bolts  or
nuts. The  fuses, relays  and  ter-
minals  may  be  fastened  inade-
quately, and it may cause a pos-
sible fire. If fuses, relays and ter-
minals  fastened  with  bolts  or
nuts  are  blown, we  recommend
that  you  consult  an  authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
•Do not input any other objects
except  fuses  or  relays  into
fuse/relay  terminals  such  as  a
screwdriver  or  wiring. It  may
cause  contact  failure  and  sys-
tem malfunction.
NOTICENOTICE
Fuse replacement
•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.
