Tire Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tire and also provides
the tire identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tires for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num-
bers in the tire size designation
mean.Example tire size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tire size designa-
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.)
205/55R16 91H
205 - Tire width in millimeters.
55 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section
height as a percentage of its
width.
R - Tire construction code (Radial).
16 - Rim diameter in inches.
91 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) 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 or broken.
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 dis-
connect 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 immediately
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Four kinds of fuses are used : blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type/
Multi fuse/Battery fuse terminal for high-
er amperage ratings. Do not use a screwdriver or any other
metal object to remove fuses because
it may cause a short circuit and dam-
age the system.
NOTICE
i
NEVER replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the same
rating.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and possibly a fire.

7. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. In an emergency, if you do not have a

from a circuit you may not need for oper-
ating the vehicle.
If the headlamps or other electrical com-
ponents do not work and the fuses are
OK, check the fuse panel in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced with the same rating.

Maintenance
Blade type fuse
Before inspecting a fuse, you should turn
OFF the engine as well as the other elec-
tric system switches.
If a fuse is blown out, remove the blown-
out fuse and install a new fuse of the
same capacity by using the fuse puller,
which is prepared inside the fuse box in
the engine compartment. A new fuse
may be prepared along with the fuse
puller. However, if not, you may tem-
porarily 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 elec-
tric 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.

Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
to replace most vehicle light bulbs. 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 for removing
the headlamp assembly to get to the
bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to the
vehicle.
Information
After heavy driving, rain or washing,
headlamp and trunk lenses could appear
frosty. This condition is caused by the tem-
perature difference between the lamp
inside and the outside temperature. This is
similar to the condensation on your win-
dows inside your vehicle during the rain
and doesn ’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

leaving the vehicle to avoid sud-
den movement of the vehicle and
to prevent possible electric
shock.
Be aware the bulbs may be hot
and may burn your fingers.

Handle halogen bulbs with care.
Halogen bulbs contain pressur-
ized gas that will produce flying
pieces of glass that could cause
injuries if broken.
Wear eye protection when chang-
ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.
