Battery recharging
By battery charger
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 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.Always follow these instruc-
tions when recharging your
vehicle’s battery to avoid the
risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH from explosions or acid
burns:
•Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and place the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion.
•Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
•Always work outdoors or in an
area with plenty of ventilation.
•Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
•The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in
a well ventilated area.
WARNING •Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin boiling violently.
•The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the battery
is disconnected. Disconnect
the battery charger in the fol-
lowing order:
(1) Turn off the battery charg-
er main switch.
(2) Unhook the negative
clamp from the negative
battery terminal.
(3) Unhook the positive clamp
from the positive battery
terminal.
•Always use a genuine
HYUNDAI approved battery
when you replace the battery.

Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking or draining
any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved
roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other
mechanisms that could be damaged.
CAUTION
Recommended 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 satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any viscosity other
than those recommended could result in engine damage.
