headlamp is ON. To turn off the AFLS,
turn the knob to the other position. After
turning the AFLS off, headlamp swiveling
no longer occurs, but leveling operates
continuously.If the AFLS malfunction indicator comes
on, the AFLS is not working properly.

restart the engine. If the indicator contin-
uously remains on, take your vehicle to
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have
the system checked.
WARNING

though your car is inclined back-
ward according to passenger's
posture, or the headlight beam is
irradiated to the high or low posi-
tion, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Don't attempt to inspect or replace
the wiring yourself to prevent mal-
function.

Headlight bulbHeadlight (HID type) bulb replace-
ment (if equipped)
If the light bulb is not operating, have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
HID lamps have superior performance
vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps are esti-
mated by the manufacturer to last twice
as long or longer than halogen bulbs
depending on their frequency of use.
They will probably require replacement
at some point in the life of the vehicle.
Cycling the headlamps on and off more
than typical use will shorten HID lamps
life. HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent lamps.
If a headlamp goes out after a period of
operation but will immediately relight
when the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID lamp needs to be replaced.
HID lighting components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen bulbs
thus have higher replacement cost.(Continued)
• If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.
• Wear eye protection when chang-
ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.
OHD076046
WARNING- Halogen bulbs
• Halogen bulbs contain pressur-
ized gas that will produce flying
pieces of glass if broken.
• Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never touch
the glass with bare hands.
Residual oil may cause the bulb
to overheat and burst when lit. A
bulb should be operated only
when installed in a headlight.

Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is asym-
metric.
If you go abroad to a country with oppo-
site traffic direction, this asymmetric part
will dazzle oncoming car driver. To pre-
vent dazzle, ECE regulation demand
several technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet, down
aiming). This headlamps are designed
not to dazzle opposite drivers. So, you
need not change your headlamps in a
country with opposite traffic direction.
