SWITCH
Turn Signal OperationPulling down on the lever causes the turn
signals on the left side of the car to blink. Pushing
upwards on the lever causes the turn signals on
the right side of the car to blink. As the turn is
completed, the lever will automatically return to
the center position and turn off the turn signals
at the same time. If either turn signal indicator
light blinks more rapidly than usual, goes on but
does not blink, or does not go on at all, there is
a malfunction in the system. Check for a burned-
out fuse or bulb or see your Hyundai dealer.
5. Distance to Empty (Miles)
o When the distance to empty is less than 30
miles (50 km), the distance to empty digits (-
---) will blink until more fuel is added.NOTE:o The distance to empty can differ from
the actual tripmeter according to driving
conditions.
o The distance to empty can vary accord-
ing to the driving conditions, driving
pattern or vehicle speed. o This mode indicates the estimated distance
to empty from the current fuel level in the fuel
tank.
o The trip computer may not register additional
fuel if less than 1.36 gallons (6 liters) of fuel
are added to the vehicle.

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBSG260A02L-GATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb, be sure
the switch is turned to the "OFF" position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach the
light bulbs so they may be changed. Be sure to
replace the burned-out bulb with one of the
same number and wattage rating.
See page 6-35 for the wattage descriptions.
!
CAUTION:
o Keep the lights out of contact with pe-
troleum products, such as oil, gasoline,
etc.
o Be sure to replace the LED type equipped
bulbs with an assembly.
o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could ap-
pear 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 during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by an Authorized Hyundai Dealer.
Replacement instructions:
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Open the engine hood.
3. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base,
avoid touching the glass.G270A01NF-AATHEADLIGHT, FRONT TURN SIGNAL
