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 headlights 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.

suspected fuse location.
OTMA090010
5. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool (1) provided in
the engine compartment fuses panel
cover.
6. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are provided in
the instrument panel fuse panels (or in
the engine compartment fuse panel).
7. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in
the clips. If it fits loosely, consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
In an emergency, if you do not have
a spare fuse, use a fuse of the same
rating from a circuit you may not need
for operating the vehicle, such as the
cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
are undamaged, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse is
blown, it must be replaced with the same
rating.

Information

[ A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily to stabilize the
vehicle’s electrical control system.
However, if the lamp goes out after
flickering momentarily, or continues to
flicker, have the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[ The position lamp may not turn on
when the position lamp switch is turned
on, but the position lamp and headlight
switch may turn on when the headlight
switch is turned on. This may be caused
by network failure or vehicle electrical
control system malfunction. If this
occurs, have the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
The headlight aiming should be adjusted
after an accident or after the headlight
assembly is reinstalled.
Information
Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a country
with opposite traffic direction, this
asymmetric part will dazzle oncoming car
driver. To prevent dazzle, ECE regulation
demand several technical solutions (ex.
automatic change system, adhesive
sheet, down aiming). This headlights are
designed not to dazzle opposite drivers. So,
you need not change your headlights in a
country with opposite traffic direction.
