WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present
in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you feel
pain or a burning sensation, get medical
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.

[ The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage. NEVER touch
these components with the engine
running or when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.

[ Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper
cables to touch. It may cause sparks.

[ The battery may rupture or explode
when you jump start with a low or
frozen battery.

[ Leaked battery electrolyte due to
repeated driving on sharp curves
(for example, on circuits) may cause
safety problem. Avoid repeated
driving on sharp curves.
WARNING

Battery Recharging
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 place the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF position.

[ 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.

[ Vehicle is equipped with the
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery.
Do not charge the AGM battery with
a general charger. It may damage
or explode the AGM battery. Only
charge the AGM battery with a
charger that has AGM battery
setting.

[ The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.
Disconnect the battery charger in the
following order:
1. Turn off the battery charger main
switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.

[ Always use a genuine HYUNDAI
approved battery when you replace
the battery.
NOTICE
AGM battery (if equipped)

[Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-free and
have the AGM battery be serviced
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
For charging your AGM battery, use
only fully automatic battery chargers
that are specially developed for AGM
batteries.

[ When replacing the AGM battery,
have you use parts for replacement
from an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Do not open or remove the cap on
top of the battery. This may cause
leaks of internal electrolyte that
could result in severe injury.
By jump starting
After a jump start from a good battery,
drive the vehicle for 20-30 minutes
before it is shutoff. The vehicle may
not restart if you shut it off before the
battery had a chance to adequately
recharge. See “Jump Starting” in chapter
8 for more information on jump starting
procedures.
Information
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s) or
regulations.
Reset Items
Items should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery has
been disconnected.

Normal Blown
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 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 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.
