TIONS
!
G020D01TG-GATImproper or incomplete service may re-
sult in problems. This section gives in-
structions only for the maintenance items
that are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by
an authorized Hyundai dealer.
NOTE:
Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage.WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. You can
be seriously injured while perform-
ing some maintenance procedures.
If you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools and
equipment to do the work, have it
done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Working under the hood with the en-
gine running is dangerous. It be-
comes even more dangerous when
you wear jewelry or loose clothing.
These can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury.
Therefore, if you must run the engine
while working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose clothing
before getting near the engine or
cooling fans.

G200B02HP-AATReplacing Accessory FusesThe fuse box for the lights and other
electrical accessories will be found low
on the dashboard on the driver's side.
Inside the box you will find a list showing
the circuits protected by each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown (open)
fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has
opened, you will see that the metal strip
inside the fuse has melted through. If you
suspect a blown fuse, follow this proce-
dure:1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each
fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it
toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is
contained in the relay and fuse box of
the engine room to simplify this opera-
tion).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses, even
if you find one that appears to have
opened.
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a
new fuse of the same rating into place.
The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not,
have the fuse clip repaired or replaced
by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not
have a spare fuse, you may be able to
borrow a fuse of the same or lower
rating from an accessory you can tem-
porarily get along without (the radio or
cigarette lighter, for example). Always
remember to replace the borrowed
fuse.

CAUTION:
An open fuse indicates that there is a
problem in the electrical circuit. If you
replace a fuse and it blows as soon as
the accessory is turned on, the prob-
lem is serious and should be referred to
a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and re-
pair. Never replace a fuse with anything
except a fuse with the same or a lower
amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse
could cause damage and create a fire
hazard.

NOTE:
See page 6-28 for the fuse panel de-
scriptions.
G200C01CM-GATPower Connector
NOTE:
o If the power connector is pulled up
from the fuse panel, the warning
chime, audio, clock and interior
lamps, etc., will not operate. The fol-
lowing items must be reset after re-
placement.
- Digital Clock
- Trip computer
- Automatic heating and cooling con-
trol system
- Audio
o Even though the power connector is
pulled up, the battery can still be
discharged by operation of the head-
lights or other electrical devices.
Your vehicle is equipped with a power
connector to prevent battery discharge if
your vehicle is parked without being op-
erated for prolonged periods. Use the
following procedures before parking the
vehicle for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover and

posite direction.
