Drive belts should be checked periodi- cally for proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At the same time, beltsshould be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriora- tion and replaced if necessary.Belt routing should also be checked tobe sure there is no interference be-tween the belts and other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from initial stretching after use. HHP5049

Replacing Accessory Fuses
The fuse box for the lights and other
electrical accessories will be found under the dashboard on the driver’s side. Inside the box you will find a list showing the circuits protected by eachfuse. If any of your car's lights or other
electrical accessories stop working, ablown fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse, follow this procedure: G200B01HP
!
A fusible link will melt if the electrical
circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause, repair the sys-tem and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a relay box for easy inspection.
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amper-age rating. Never use a piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious dam-age and create a fire hazard. 3. Be sure to check all other fuses,
even if you find one that appears tohave burned out.
1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse bypulling it toward you (a small "fusepuller" tool is contained in the relay and fuse box of the engine room to simplify this operation).

4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing
a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snugfit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a sparefuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an accessory you can tempo-rarily get along without (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Al- ways remember to replace the bor-rowed fuse. Good
G200B02L
Burned out CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates thatthere is a problem in the electricalcircuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is seriousand should be referred to a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse withanything except a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could causedamage and create a fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-43 for the fuse panel descriptions.

G210A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When
working with batteries, carefully observe the following precautionsto avoid serious injuries. o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush
the affected areas with water for atleast 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as possible. While you are being drivento get medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated withwater.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol- lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as possible.
While batteries are being charged (either by a battery charger or by thevehicle's alternator), they produce explosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries fromoccurring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
The fluid in the battery contains a
strong solution of sulfuric acid, whichis poisonous and highly corrosive. Becareful not to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, immediately do the follow-ing: HHP5020
NOTE:
o If the power connector is pulled up from the fuse panel, the warn-ing chime, audio, clock and inte- rior lamps, etc., will not operate. The following items must be re-set after replacement.- Digital Clock - Trip computer
- Automatic heating and cooling
control system
- Audio
o Even though the power connec- tor is pulled up, the battery can still be discharged by operation of the headlights or other electri-cal devices.

Checking the Battery
Keep the battery clean. Any evidence
of corrosion around the battery posts or terminals should be removed using a solution of household baking sodaand warm water. After the battery terminals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:Always read the followinginstructions carefullywhen handling a battery.Keep lighted cigarettesand all other flames orsparks away from the bat- tery. Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is always present in batterycells and may explode if ignited.Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID.Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.If any electrolyte gets intoyour eyes, flush your eyeswith clean water for at least 15 minutes and get imme- diate medical attention. Ifpossible, continue to ap- ply water with a sponge or cloth until medical atten-tion is received.If electrolyte gets on yourskin, thoroughly wash thecontacted area.If you feel a pain or a burn-ing sensation, get medi- cal attention immediately. Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery. Always provide ventilation when working in an en- closed space.o When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid toleak, resulting in personal in- jury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on oppositecorners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat- tery when the battery cables are connected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these componentswith the engine running or the ignition switched on.
