FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment 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,
turn the engine and all switches off,
and then disconnect the negative bat-
tery 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 immedi-
ately consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.Information
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.

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. The incomplete
fastening fuse or relay may
cause the vehicle wiring and
electric systems damage and a
possible fire.
• Do not remove fuses, relays and
terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and ter-
minals may be fastened incom-
pletely, 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 authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not input any other objects
except fuses or relays into
fuse/relay terminals such as a
driver or wiring. It may cause
contact failure and system mal-
function.
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 alu-
minum foil instead of the prop-
er fuse - even as a temporary
repair. It may cause extensive
wiring damage and a possible
fire.

Information
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse
of the same rating from a circuit you
may not need for operating the vehi-
cle, such as the cigar lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse block in
the engine compartment. If a fuse is

A new fuse may be prepared along
with the fuse puller. However, if not,
you may temporarily select/use a
fuse of the other systems, which do
not affect the vehicle operation, such
as the audio system.
Cartridge type fuse
Before inspecting a fuse, you should
turn OFF the engine as well as the
other electric system switches. If a
fuse is blown out, remove the blown-
out fuse and install a new fuse of the
same capacity. Pay extreme caution
not to damage the blown-out fuse
while removing it.
