A vehicle’s electrical system is pro- 
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses. 
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, 
one located in the driver's side panel
bolster, the other in the motor com-
partment 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 vehicle and all switch-
es off, and then disconnect the neg-
ative battery cable. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rat-ing. 
If the replacement fuse blows, this 
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information 
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings. Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-tem.
NOTICE
i
NEVER replace a fuse with any- 
thing but another fuse of thesame rating.
A higher capacity fuse could 
cause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or alu- 
minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.

Matte paint finish vehicle  (if equipped) 
Automatic car wash which uses 
rotating brushes should not be
used as this can damage the sur-
face of your vehicle. A steam
cleaner which washes the vehicle
surface at high temperature may
result the oil to adhere and leave
stains that is difficult to remove. 
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber 
towel or sponge) when washing
your vehicle and dry with a
microfiber towel. When you hand
wash your vehicle, you should not
use a cleaner that finishes with
wax. If the vehicle surface is too
dirty (sand, dirt, dust, contami-
nant, etc.), clean the surface with
water before washing the vehicle.
Waxing
A good coat of wax provides a barri- 
er between your paint and environ-mental contamination. 
Keeping a good coat of wax on your 
vehicle will help protect it. 
Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint. 
Always wash and dry the vehicle 
before waxing. Use a good quality
liquid or paste wax, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all
metal trim to protect it and to main-
tain its luster. 
Removing oil, tar, and similar materi- 
als with a spot remover will usually
strip the wax from the finish. Be sure
to re-wax these areas even if the rest
of the vehicle does not yet need wax-ing. Wiping dust or dirt off the body
with a dry cloth will scratch thefinish.
 Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or
caustic agents on chrome-plat-
ed or anodized aluminum parts.
This may result in damage to the
protective coating and causediscoloration or paint deteriora-tion.
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped) 
Do not use any polish protector 
such as a detergent, an abrasive
and a polish. In case wax is
applied, remove the wax immedi-
ately using a silicon remover and
if any tar or tar contaminant is on
the surface use a tar remover to
clean. However, be careful not to
apply too much pressure on thepainted area.

Interior Care
Interior general precautions 
Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume and cosmetic oil, from con-
tacting the interior parts because
they may cause damage or discol-
oration. If they do contact the interior
parts, wipe them off immediately.
See the instructions for the proper
way to clean vinyl. 
 Never allow water or other liq-uids to come in contact with 
electrical/electronic compo-
nents inside the vehicle as this
may damage them.
 When cleaning leather products (steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents or low alco-
hol content solutions. If you usehigh alcohol content solutions
or acid/alkaline detergents, the
color of the leather may fade or
the surface may get stripped off.
Cleaning the upholstery and
interior trim 
Vinyl (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from 
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a
vinyl cleaner.
Fabric (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from fab- 
ric with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solu-
tion recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Remove fresh spots imme-
diately with a fabric spot cleaner. If
fresh spots do not receive immediate
attention, the fabric can be stained
and its color can be affected. Also, its
fire-resistant properties can be
reduced if the material is not proper-ly maintained. 
Using anything but recommended 
cleaners and procedures may
affect the fabric's appearance and
fire-resistant properties.
Leather (if equipped)
 Feature of Seat Leather
- Leather is made from the outerskin of an animal, which goes through a special process to be
available for use. Since it is a nat-
ural object, each part differs in
thickness or density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature
and humidity.
- The seat is made of stretchable fabric to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driv-
ing comfort and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally from usage. It is not a fault of the
products.
