Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank.
The fuel tank capacity is given in
section 8.The fuel gauge is supplement-
ed by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is near
empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light
may come on earlier than usual due to
the movement of fuel in the tank.
Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer
controlling the driver information system.
It displays information related to driving
on the LCD screen when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. If the battery
is disconnected, then all stored driving
information (except odometer) is reset.
WARNING- Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
E level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damag-
ing the catalytic converter.ORB040034NORBC040035

Power outlet
The power outlet is designed to provide
power for mobile telephones or other
devices designed to operate with vehicle
electrical systems. The devices should
draw less than 10 amps with the engine
running.
CAUTION
Use the power outlet only when
the engine is running and remove
the accessory plug after use.
Using the accessory plug for pro-
longed periods of time with the
engine off could cause the bat-
tery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories
which are less than 10A in elec-
tric capacity. If not, it could lead
to an overheated power outlet or
electric wiring in the vehicle and
electric systems may malfunc-
tion.
Adjust the air-conditioner or
heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can
cause electronic interference
when plugged into a vehicle’s
power outlet. These devices may
cause excessive audio static and
malfunctions in other electronic
systems or devices used in your
vehicle.

Make sure that the electric
devices are plugged in securely. If
not, it could cause a malfunction
of electric systems.
If you use an electric device with
a battery, electric current may
flow from the electric device into
the vehicle and may cause a mal-
function of electric systems. Only
use electric devices which could
prevent inverse current.

Maintenance
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one locat-
ed in the driver’s side panel bolster, the
other in the engine compartment.If any of your vehicle’s lights, accessories,
or controls do not work, check the appro-
priate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the
element inside the fuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not work, first
check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, move to
safe place, turn off the engine and all
electric devices, and then disconnect the
negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and immediately
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type,
and multi fuse for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING - Fuse replace-
ment
Never replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly a fire.
Never install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
