The ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on
the turn signals, move the lever up or
down (A). Green arrow indicators on
the instrument panel indicate which
turn signal is operating. They will
self-cancel after a turn is completed.
If the indicator continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever

turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position (B). The lever will return to
the OFF position when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not

the turn signal bulbs may be burned
out and will require replacement.

fog lights will turn on when fog light
switch (1) is turned to ON after the
headlights are turned on.
To turn off the fog lights, turn the
switch to OFF.

lights consume large amounts
of vehicle electrical power. Only
use the fog lights when visibility
is poor or unnecessary battery
and generator drain could
occur.

If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is open, it must be replaced.
If the headlights, fog lights, turn sig-
nal lights, position lights or interior
lights do not work and there is noth-
ing wrong with the bulbs, consult with
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Fuse switch
Always put the transportation fuse
switch at the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF
position, some items such as the
audio and digital clock must be reset
and the transmitter (or smart key)
may not work properly.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If you need to park your vehicle for
prolonged periods more than 1
month, move the transportation fuse
switch to the OFF position to pre-
vent the battery being discharged.
CAUTION
Always place the transporta-
tion fuse switch in the ON posi-

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or wash-
ing, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with
your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, we recom-
mend that the vehicle be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is turned to the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-
out bulb with one of the same
wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to the fuse
or electric wiring system.
CAUTION
The headlight aiming adjust-
ment may be necessary after
the headlight assembly is rein-
stalled. If you are unsure how to
replace or aim the headlight, we
recommend that you consult
with an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, we recommend that
you consult with an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. In many cases,
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 if you
have to remove the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the head-
light assembly can result in
damage to the vehicle.

(Continued)
If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool down before han-
dling it.
WARNING - Halogen
bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if broken.
Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installed
in a headlight.
