Driving your vehicle
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra following distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
• Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on thewindshield.
• Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See “Tire Tread
”in chapter 7.
• Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. • Driving too fast through large pud
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driv
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOWDOWN when the road is wet. The
risk of hydroplaning increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases, refer to
“Tire Tread” in chapter 7.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may bereduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.

Maintenance
At least monthly:
• Check the coolant level in theengine coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash
ers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall):
• Check the radiator, heater and airconditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
• Check the windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean
wiper blades with clean cloth

tronic devices to the battery, the bat
tery may be discharged. Never use
unauthorized devices.
Battery capacity label
❈The actual battery label in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
1. MF45LBCI : The HYUNDAI model name of battery
2. 12V : The nominal voltage
3. 45Ah(20HR) : The nominal capac ity (in Ampere hours)
4. 80RC : The nominal reser ve capacity (in min.)
5. 410CCA : The coldtest current in amperes by SAE
6. 328A : The coldtest current in amperes by EN
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.
•The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with
the engine running or the igni
tion switched on.
Failure to follow the above warn
ings can result in serious bodily
injury or death.

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.

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.

Maintenance
lIGhT BulBS
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to replace most vehicle light
bulbs. It is difficult to replace vehicle
light bulbs because other parts of the
vehicle must be removed before you
can get to the bulb. This is especially
true for removing the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.Information
After heavy driving, rain or washing
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused
by the temperature difference between
the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle dur
ing the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb circuit
ry, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Be sure to replace the burnedout
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause dam
age to the fuse or electric wiring sys
tem.
NOTICE
i
Prior to replacing a light, depress
the foot brake, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transaxle vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicle), apply
the parking brake, place the igni
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF posi
tion, and take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle to avoid
sudden movement of the vehicle
and to prevent possible electric
shock.
Be aware the bulbs may be hot
and may burn your fingers.
