MaintenanceDo not allow the wiper arm to fall
against the windscreen, since it
may chip or crack the wind-
screen.
CAUTION
WIPER BLADES
Blade inspectionInformation
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windscreen diffi-
cult to clean. Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
Information
Wiper blades are consumable item and
normal wear of the wipers may not be
covered by your vehicle warranty.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.

BATTERY
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
petroleum 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 battery cables.
Information - For batteries
marked with UPPER and
LOWER
If your vehicle is equipped with a bat-
tery marked with LOWER (MIN) and
UPPER (MAX) on the side, you
should check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be
between LOWER (MIN) and UPPER
(MAX). When the electrolyte level is
low, add distilled (or de-mineralised)
water. (Never add sulfuric acids or
other electrolyte). (continued)(continued)
Be careful not to spill distilled (or de-
mineralised) water over the battery
surface or other adjacent components.
Also, do not overfill the battery cells.
If not, it may corrode the battery or
other components. Finally, securely
close the cell cap. However, we recom-
mend you to contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for better battery
service.i

diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately.
•When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
•Do not attempt to jump start
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
•NEVER attempt to recharge
the battery when the vehicle’s
battery cables are connected
to the battery. (Continued)
