Maintenance
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (Full) and L (Low)
marked on the side of the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cool.If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water (except
Middle East) or add enough pre-
mixed coolant (for Middle East).
Bring the level to F (Full), but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are
required, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer. The electric motor
(cooling fan) is con-
trolled by engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed. It may some-
times operate even when the
engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling
fan so that you are not injured
by a rotating fan blades. As the
engine coolant temperature
decreases, the electric motor
will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition.
The electric motor (cooling fan)
may operate until you discon-
nect the negative battery cable.

For best battery service
Keep the battery securely mounted.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
gasolineeum jelly or terminal
grease.
Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
If the vehicle is not going to be
used for an extended time, discon-
nect the cable from Negative termi-
nal (-ve) of the Battery to prevent
Discharge.
Information
Basically equipped battery is mainte-
nance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked
with MIN and MAX on the side, you
can check the electrolyte level. The
electrolyte level should be between
MIN and MAX. If the electrolyte level
is low, it needs to add distilled (dem-
ineralized) water (Never add sulfuric
acid or other electrolyte).
When refill, be careful not to splash
the battery and adjacent components.
And do not overfill the battery cells. It
can cause corrosion on other parts.
After then ensure that tighten the cell
caps. We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If the Electrolyte level is Low, Add
distilled ( demineralized ) water.
Never add sulfuric acid or other
electrolyte.

Maintenance
(Continued)
If any electrolyte gets
into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean
water for at least 15
minutes and get
immediate medical
attention. If electrolyte
gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the
contacted area. If you
feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection
when charging or
working near a battery.
Always provide venti-
lation when working in
an enclosed space.

(Continued)
An inappropriately
disposed battery can
be harmful to the envi-
ronment and human
health. Dispose the
battery according to
your local law(s) or
regulation.
The battery contains
lead. Do not dispose of
it after use. Please
return the battery to an
authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to be recycled.
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.

Battery dangers
Always read the fol-
lowing instructions
carefully when han-
dling a battery.
Keep lighted ciga-
rettes and all other
flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly
combustible gas, is
always present in bat-
tery cells and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of
the reach of children
because batteries
contain highly corro-
sive SULFURIC ACID.
Do not allow battery
acid to contact your
skin, eyes, clothing or
paint finish.

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while 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 while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
Battery Replacing
Replacing a Battery is required pre-
cautionary measures.
We recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
(Continued)
Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
Failure to follow the above
warnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.

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, Slow
Blow type and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short cir-
cuit and damage the system.
Information
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.

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
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
a possible fire.
