LIGHT BULBS
Consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer 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.Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electrical
wiring system.
Information
After heavy driving rain or washing,
headlamp and tail lamp lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused
by the temperature difference between
the lamp inside and outside. This is
similar to the condensation on your
windows inside your vehicle when
raining and doesn’t indicate a problem
with your vehicle. If the water leaks
into the lamp bulb circuitry, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Information
The headlamp aiming should be adjust-
ed after an accident or after the head-
lamp assembly is reinstalled at a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Information - Traffic Change
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a coun-
try with opposite traffic direction, this
asymmetric part will dazzle oncoming
car driver. To prevent dazzle, ECE reg-
ulation demand several technical solu-
tions (ex. automatic change system,
adhesive sheet, down aiming). These
headlamps are designed not to dazzle
opposite drivers. So, you need not
change your headlamps in a country
with opposite traffic direction.i

NOTICE
Prior to working on a light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is in the
LOCK/OFF position and turn off
the lights to avoid sudden move-
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an elec-
tric shock.

desiccant
(if equipped)
This vehicle is equipped with desic-
cant to reduce fogging inside the head-
lamp due to moisture.
The desiccant is consumable and its
performance may change based on the
used period or environment.
If fogging inside the headlamp due to
moisture continues for a long time, we
recommend that you consult a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

•Handle halogen bulbs with
care. Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas that will pro-
duce flying pieces of glass that
could cause injuries if broken.
•Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the bulb
to cool down before handling it.

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning
and caution statements that appear
on the label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it
thoroughly and frequently at least
once a month with lukewarm or cold
water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
materials. Make sure the drain holes
in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear and
clean.Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits.
A mild soap, safe for use on painted
surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.
• Do not use strong soap, chemi-
cal detergents or hot water, and
do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.
• Be careful when washing the
side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water, water may leak through
the windows and wet the interior.
• To prevent damage to the plastic
parts and lamps, do not clean
with chemical solvents or strong
detergents.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers,
make sure to maintain sufficient dis-
tance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive
pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or
its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock
applied from high pressure water
may cause the device to not operate
normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be dam-
aged if they come into contact with
high pressure water.
NOTICE
Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes whilst driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly whilst
maintaining a slow forward
speed.
WARNING

Maintenance
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, acceler-
ated rusting can occur on underbody
parts such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even
though they have been treated with
rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after off-road driving and at the end of
each winter. Pay special attention to
these areas because it is difficult to
see all the mud and dirt. It will do
more harm than good to wet down the
road grime without removing it. The
lower edges of doors, rocker panels,
and frame members have drain holes
that should not be allowed to clog with
dirt; trapped water in these areas can
cause rusting.
Aluminium wheel maintenance
The aluminium wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaner,
polishing compound, solvent,
or wire brushes on aluminium
wheels.
• Clean the wheel when it has
cooled.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly
with water. Also, be sure to clean
the wheels after driving on salted
roads.
• Do not wash the wheels with high-
speed car wash brushes.
• Do not use any cleanser contain-
ing acid or alkaline detergents.
NOTICE
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes whilst driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly whilst
maintaining a slow forward
speed.

Maintenance
❈Never use the urea solution mix-
ture with additives or water. It
may allow foreign substances to
enter the urea solution tank. If
so, it surely applies adverse
impact on the vehicle perform-
ance, causing various malfunc-
tions.
❈Use only the ISO 22241-speci-
fied urea solution. Any unautho-
rised urea solution surely
applies adverse impacts on the
vehicle performance, causing
various malfunctions.
4. Turn the urea solution tank cap in
a clockwise direction to securely
close it.Adding the urea solution: Every
approximately 3,700 miles (6,000
km) (The urea solution consumption
is dependent on the road profile,
driving pattern and environmental
condition)
❈It takes some time to update the
cluster gauges after the UREA
injection.
•Do not apply any external
impact on the DPF system. It
may damage the catalyst,
which is equipped inside the
DPF system.
•Do not arbitrarily modify or
manipulate the DPF system
by redirecting or lengthen the
exhaust pipe. It may adversely
impact the DPF system.
•Avoid contact with the
drained water from the
exhaust pipe. The water is
slightly acid and harmful to
skin. If contacted, thoroughly
wash it.
WARNING
•Any arbitrary manipulation or
modification of the DPF sys-
tem may cause a system mal-
function. The DPF system is
controlled by the complex
device.
•Wait for the DPF system to
cool down before the mainte-
nance service, as it is hot due
to the heat generation.
Otherwise, it may case a skin
burn.
•Add only the specified urea
solution, when your vehicle is
equipped with the urea solu-
tion system.
•The urea solution system (i.e.
urea solution nozzle, urea
solution pump, and DCU)
operates for approximately 2
minutes more to eliminate the
remaining urea solution
inside, even after the ignition
switch is pressed to the OFF
position. Before the mainte-
nance service, make sure that
the urea solution system is
completely turned OFF.
