Engine compartment precautions
(Diesel engine)• The piezo injector operates at highvoltage (maximum 200v). Therefore,
the following accidents may occur.
- Direct contact with the injector orinjector wiring may cause electric
shock or damage your muscle or
nerve system.
- The electromagnetic wave from the operating injector may cause the arti-
ficial heart pacemaker to malfunction.
 Follow the safety tips provided below, when you are checking the engine
room whilst the engine is running.
- Do not touch the injector, injectorwirings, and the engine computer
whilst the engine is running.
- Do not remove the injector connector whilst the engine is running.
- People using pacemakers must not go near the engine whilst the engine
is starting or running.
WARNING
- Maintenance work
 Performing maintenance work on
a vehicle can be dangerous. You
can be seriously injured whilst
performing some maintenance
procedures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do
the work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
 Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous.
It becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewellery or loose
clothing. These can become
entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine whilst work-
ing under the bonnet, make cer-
tain that you remove all jewellery
(especially rings, bracelets,
watches, and necklaces) and all
neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before getting
near the engine or cooling fans.
CAUTION
 Do not put heavy objects or apply excessive force on top of theengine cover (if equipped) or fuel related parts.
 When you inspect the fuel system (fuel lines and fuel injectiondevices), we recommend that you contact a HYUNDAI authorisedrepairer.
 Do not drive long time with the engine cover (if equipped)removed.
 When checking the engine room, do not go near fire.
Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are flam-mable oils that may cause fire.
 Before touching the battery, igni- tion cables and electrical wiring,you should disconnect the bat-tery "-" terminal. You may get an electric shock from the electriccurrent.
 When you remove the interior trim cover with a flat bed (-) driv-er, be careful not to damage thecover.
 Be careful when you replace and clean bulbs to avoid burns orelectrical shock.

7Whilst operating your vehicle: Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
 Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-ahead
position.
 Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-
elling on smooth, level road.
 When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
 If any slipping or changes in the oper- ation of your transaxle occurs, check
the transaxle fluid level.
 Check manual transaxle operation, including clutch operation.
 Check automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
 Check parking brake.
 Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air condition-
ing system during or after use is nor-
mal).
At least monthly: Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
 Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn sig-
nals and hazard warning flashers.
 Check the inflation pressures of all tyres including the spare.At least twice a year (i.e., every Spring and Fall) : Check radiator, heater and air condi- tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
 Check windscreen washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with clean cloth dampened with wash-
er fluid.
 Check headlight alignment.
 Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
 Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
 Check for worn tyres and loose wheel lug nuts.
At least once a year : Clean body and door drain holes.
 Lubricate door hinges and checks, andbonnet hinges.
 Lubricate door and bonnet locks and latches.
 Lubricate door rubber weatherstrips.
 Check the air conditioning system.
 Check the power steering fluid level.
 Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle linkage and controls.
 Clean battery and terminals.
 Check the brake (and clutch) fluid level.

7BATTERYFor best battery service Keep the battery securely mounted.
 Keep the battery top clean and dry.  Keep the terminals and connections
clean, tight, and coated with petroleum
jelly or terminal grease.
 Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a solution of
water and baking soda.
 If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, disconnect the bat-
tery cables.
✽ ✽ NOTICEBasically equipped battery is mainte-
nance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked with
LOWER and UPPER on the side, you
can check the electrolyte level. The elec-
trolyte level should be between LOWER
and UPPER. If the electrolyte level is
low, it needs to add distilled (demineral-
ized) water (Never add sulfuric acid or
other electrolyte). When refill, be care-
ful not to splash the battery and adja-
cent components. And do not overfill the
battery cells. It can cause corrosion on
other parts. After then ensure that tight-
en the cell caps. We recommend that you
contact a HYUNDAI authorised repair-
er.
WARNING
- Battery
dangers
Always read the following
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly com- bustible gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children because
batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC ACID.
Do not allow battery acid to
contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.

7FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) 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.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, discon-
nect 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 we recommend
that you consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.Four kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type, and fusible link for higher amperage rat-ings.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.
WARNING
- Fuse replace-
ment
 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 aluminium foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or anyother metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuitand damage the system.
