Maintenance9-44
CAUTION

[ It is not easy to recognize tire
damage with your own eyes. But
if there is the slightest hint of tire
damage, have the tire checked
or replaced because the tire
damage may cause air leakage
from the tire.

[ If the tire is damaged by driving
on a rough road, off road,
pothole, manhole, or curb stone,
it will not be covered by the
warranty.
Low Aspect Ratio Tires
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on
low aspect ratio tires.
Because low aspect ratio tires are
optimized for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than
a standard tire. Also low aspect
ratio tires tend to be wider and
consequently have a greater contact
patch with the road surface. In some
instances they may generate more
road noise compared with standard
tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of a low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
a standard tire, the rim of the
wheel and the tire itself is more
easily susceptible to damage. Use
caution when driving and follow the
guidelines below to help minimize
damage to the wheel and tire:

[When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tires and wheels may
be damaged. And after driving,
inspect tires and wheels.

[ When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that
the tires and wheels are not
damaged.

[ If the tire is subjected to a severe
impact, have the tire and wheel
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 1,800 miles
(3,000km).

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,
accessories, 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
disconnect 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
immediately consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything 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.
NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other
metal object to remove fuses because
it may cause a short circuit and damage
the system.

1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Turn all other switches OFF.
3. Open the fuse panel cover.

OCN7080018
5. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
6. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are provided in
the engine compartment fuse panel.
7. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in
the clips. If it fits loosely, consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
In an emergency, if you do not have a
spare fuse, use a fuse of the same rating
from a circuit you may not need for
operating the vehicle.
If the other electrical components do
not work and the fuses are undamaged,
check the fuse panel in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced with the same rating.
If the headlight, turn signal lamp, tail
lamp, interior lamp doesn’t work and
the fuses are undamaged, consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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
The headlight and tail lamp lenses could
appear frosty if the vehicle is washed after
driving or the vehicle is driven at night in
wet weather. This condition is caused by
temperature difference between the lamp
inside and outside and does not indicate
a problem with your vehicle. When
moisture condenses in the lamp, it will be
removed after driving with the headlight
on. The removable level may differ
depending on lamp size, lamp position
and environmental condition. However, if
moisture is not removed, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING

[Prior to replacing a lamp, depress
the foot brake, move the shift button
into P (Park) apply the parking brake,
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, 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.

[ When the bulb is disconnected or the
lamp connector is removed while the
lamp is operating normally, the fuse
box electronics may recognize the
lamp as a malfunction. Therefore, a
fault record for the lamp may remain
in the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
recorded in the fuse box.
