 CAUTION
To prevent damage to the power 
outlets:
Use the power outlet only when the 
engine is running and remove the 
accessory plug after use. Using the 
accessory plug for prolonged periods 
of time with the engine off could 
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12 volts electric accessories 
which are less than 180 watts in 
electric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater 
to the lowest operating level when 
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can 
cause electronic interference 
when plugged into a vehicle’s 
power outlet. These devices may 
cause excessive audio static and 
malfunctions in other electronic 
systems or devices used in your 
vehicle.
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If 
good contact is not made, the plug 
may overheat and the fuse may open.
Plug in battery equipped electrical/
electronic devices with reverse 
current protection. The current 
from the battery may flow into the 
vehicle’s electrical/electronic system 
and cause system malfunction.

[A] : Normal, [B] : Blown
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.
