FuEl FIlTER (FOR dIESEl)
Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the water
in its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.If this warning light turned
on, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the water accumulated in the fuel
filter is not drained at proper times,
damages to the major parts such as
the fuel system can be caused by
water permeation in the fuel filter.
Extracting air from the fuel filter
If you drive until you have no fuel left
or if you replace the fuel filter, be
sure to extract air from the fuel sys
tem as it makes it difficult to start the
engine.
1. Pump up and down(1) approxi mately 50 times until the pump is
hard.
2. Extract air from the fuel filter by removing the bolt(2) with a cross
tip screw driver and reinstall thebolt(2).
3. Pump up and down(1) approxi mately 15 times. 4. Extract air from the fuel filter by
removing the bolt(2) with a cross
tip screw driver and reinstall thebolt(2).
5. Pump up and down(1) approxi mately 5 times.
Information
• Use cloths when you extract air so that the fuel is not sprayed around.
• Clean the fuel around the fuel filter or the injection pump before start
ing the engine to prevent fire.
• Finally, check each part if the fuel is leaking.i

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenancefree,
calciumbased battery.
• If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam
ple, 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 electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 2030A for two hours.
Battery Replacing
Replacing a Battery is required pre
cautionary measures.
We recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
•Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery cables
are connected.

Maintenance
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
Replacing tires
To reduce the chance or serious
or fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tire failure or loss of
vehicle control:
•Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam
aged. Worn tires can cause loss
of braking effectiveness, steer
ing control, and traction.
•Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to
uneven wear and tire failure.
•When replacing tires, never mix
radial and biasply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov
ing from radial to biasply tires.
(Continued)
(Continued)
WARNING •Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac
teristics and poor vehicle con
trol, resulting in a serious acci
dent.
•Wheels that do not meet
HYUNDAI's specifications may
fit poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
•The ABS works by comparing
the speed of the wheels. Tire
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tires, all 4 tires
must use the same size original
ly supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can
cause the ABS (Antilock Brake
System) and ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) to work irregu
larly. (if equipped)
A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, bodytotire
clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer cali
bration, headlight aim and bumper
height.
WARNING

7-62
Maintenance
•It is difficult to recognize tire dam
age only with eyes. However, we
recommend you to have the tire
checked or replaced upon detect
ing even the slightest tire damage.
The tire damage may leak air from
the tire.
•Tire damage, caused by driving on
a rough road, pothole, manhole or
curb stone, or off the road, is not
covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
•For further information about the
tire, refer to the label on the tire
sidewall.

FuSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro
tected from electrical overload dam
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bol
ster, the other in the engine compart
ment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate 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, dis
connect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme
diately consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, SlowBlow type and multi fuse for higheramperage ratings.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
Information
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items. i

•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.

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight
out. Use the fuse puller provided in
the engine compar tment fusepanel.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips.
If it fits loosely, we recommend that
you consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuityou may not need for operating thevehicle, such as the cigarette lighterfuse.
If the electrical components do not
work and the fuses are OK, check
the fuse panel in the engine com
partment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced. Fuse switch
Always, put the fuse switch at the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF
position, some items such as audio
and digital clock must be reset and
transmitter (or smart key and burglar
alarm) may not work properly.
Always place the fuse switch in the
ON position while driving the vehicle.
