For mixing percentage, refer to the fol-
lowing table:
Information
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%
water and 50% antifreeze mix is the easi-
est to mix together as it will be the same
quantity of each. It is suitable to use for
most temperature ranges of
- 31°F and higher.The electric motor for the cooling fan is
controlled by engine coolant tempera-
ture, refrigerant pressure and vehicle
speed. As the engine coolant tempera-
ture decreases, the electric motor will
automatically shut off. This is a normal
condition. If your vehicle is equipped with
GDI, the electric motor for the cooling fan
may begin to operate at any time and
continue to operate until you disconnect
the negative battery cable.

Never remove the radia-
tor cap or the drain plug
while the engine and
radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may
blow out under pressure, causing
serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use
extreme care when removing the
radiator cap. Wrap a thick towel
around it, and turn it counterclock-
wise slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is released
from the cooling system.

WARNING
(Continued)
When you are sure all the pressure
has been released, press down on
the cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclockwise
to remove it.

The electric motor for
the cooling fan may
continue to operate or
start up when the
engine is not running
and can cause serious injury. Keep
hands, clothing and tools away

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling the
battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away
from the battery.
Hydrogen is always present in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach
of children. (Continued)
WARNING (Continued)Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which is highly corro-
sive. Do not allow acid to
contact your eyes, skin or
clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If acid gets on
your skin, thoroughly wash the
area. If you feel pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
When lifting a plastic-cased bat-
tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak. Lift with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite cor-
ners.
Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.
NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the bat-
tery. (Continued)
(Continued)
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage. NEVER
touch these components with the
engine running or when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position.
Leaked battery electrolyte due to
repeated driving on sharp curves
(e.g. on circuits) may cause safe-
ty problem. Avoid repeated driv-
ing on sharp curves.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and relat-
ed accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and reproduc-
tive harm. Batteries also contain
other chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer. Wash
hands after handling.

Maintenance
When you do not use the vehicle fora long time in a low temperature
area, disconnect the battery and
keep it indoors.
Always charge the battery fully to prevent battery case damage in low
temperature areas.
For Best Battery Service
Keep the battery securely mounted.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connectionsclean, tight, and coated with petroleum
jelly or terminal grease.
Rinse any spilled acid from the battery immediately with a solution of water
and baking soda.
Battery RechargingNOTICE
Always follow these instructions
when recharging your vehicle's bat-
tery to avoid the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH from explosions
or acid burns:
Before performing maintenance
or recharging the battery, turn off
all accessories and place the
ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF
position.
Keep all flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the bat-
tery.
Always work outdoors or in an
area with plenty of ventilation.
Wear eye protection when check-
ing the battery during charging.
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in a
well ventilated area.
Watch the battery during charg-
ing, and stop or reduce the charg-
ing rate if the battery cells begin
boiling violently.

After a jump start from a good battery,
drive the vehicle for 20-30 minutes before
it is shutoff. The vehicle may not restart if
you shut it off before the battery had a
chance to adequately recharge. See
"Jump Starting" in chapter 6 for more
information on jump starting procedures.

The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed
last when the battery is discon-
nected. Disconnect the battery
charger in the following order:
(1) Turn off the battery charger main switch.
(2) Unhook the negative clamp
from the negative battery ter-
minal.

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one
located in the driver's side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
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 or broken.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver's side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the
engine and all switches off, and then dis-
connect 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.
Information
Four kinds of fuses are used : blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type/
Multi fuse/Battery fuse terminal for high-
er amperage ratings. Do not use a screwdriver or any other
metal object to remove fuses because
it may cause a short circuit and dam-
age the system.
NOTICE
i
NEVER replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the same
rating.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and possibly a fire.
