OTM078035
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected 
from electrical overload damage by 
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one 
located in the driver’s side panel bolster, 
the other in the engine compartment 
near the battery.
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 battery connector. 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 and 
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.
