Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, 
calcium-based battery.
•	 If the battery becomes discharged 
over a short time (because, for 
example, the headlamps 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 electrical load while 
the vehicle is being used, recharge it 
at 20-30A for two hours.
 WARNING
Always follow these instructions when 
recharging your vehicle’s battery to 
avoid the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH from explosions or acid burns:
•	Before performing maintenance or 
recharging the battery, turn off all 
accessories and stop the engine.
•	 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.
•	 Watch the battery during charging, 
and stop or reduce the charging 
rate if the battery cells begin boiling 
violently.

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected 
from electrical overload damage by 
fuses.
This vehicle has 5 fuse panels, one 
located in the driver’s side panel bolster, 
the other in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, 
accessories, 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 
disconnect 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. We 
recommend that you immediately 
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
 WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything 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.
NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other 
metal object to remove fuses because 
it may cause a short circuit and damage 
the system.
