FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one locat-
ed in the driver’s side panel bolster, the
other in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, accessories,
or controls do not work, check the appro-
priate 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 immediately
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type,
and multi fuse for higher amperage ratings.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.
WARNING - Fuse
replacement
Never replace a fuse with anything
but another fuse of the same rat-
ing.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly a fire.
Never install a wire or aluminum
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 any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
CAUTION
When replacing a blown fuse or
relay with a new one, make sure
the new fuse or relay fits tightly
into the clips. The incomplete fas-
tening fuse or relay may cause the
vehicle wiring and electric sys-
tems damage and a possible fire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and
terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and termi-
nals may be fastened incomplete-
ly, and it may cause a possible
fire. If fuses, relays and terminals
fastened with bolts or nuts are
blown, consult with an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not input any other objects
except fuses or relays into
fuse/relay terminals such as a driv-
er or wiring. It may cause contact
failure and system malfunction.

is blown.
5. 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.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of
the same rating from a circuit you may
not need for operating the vehicle, such
as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical com-
ponents do not work and the fuses are
OK, check the fuse panel in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.
Memory fuse

fuse to prevent 12V battery discharge if
your vehicle is parked without being
operated for prolonged periods. Use the
following procedures before parking the
vehicle for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover and

the fuse panel, the warning chime,
audio, clock and interior lamps, etc.,
will not operate. Some items must be
reset after replacement. Refer to
“Battery” in this section.
• Even though the memory fuse is
pulled up, the battery can still be dis-
charged by operation of the head-
lights or other electrical devices.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only bulbs of the specified wattage.
✽
✽
NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear 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.
WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the engine start/stop button is
in the OFF position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers 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
If you don’t have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult 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 head-
light assembly to
get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installingthe headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.
WARNING
When you replace the front head-
lamp bulb be careful of the HPCU
system, the high voltage cable
(orange color), and high voltage
components for the hybrid system.
It is very dangerous because the
HPCU has high voltage. Do not
touch those high voltage systems
or it could result in the electric
shock or burns or even death.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with
High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlights, these headlights con-
tain mercury. So if you need to have
your vehicle disposed, you should
remove the HID Headlights before
disposal. The removed HID head-
lights should be recycled, re-used
or disposed as hazardous waste.

housing notches and snap the lens into
place.
WARNING
Prior to working on the Interior

Starting the engine
1. Carry the smart key or leave it inside
the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.
3. Place the shift lever in the P(Park)
position. In N(Neutral) position, you
can not start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the engine start/stop button.
6. In extremely cold weather or after the
vehicle has not been operated for sev-
eral days, let the engine warm up with-
out depressing the accelerator.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing
the accelerator.

if it is far away from you, the engine
may not start.

in the ACC or ON position, if any door
is open, the system checks for the
smart key. If the smart key is not in
the vehicle, the warning, "Key is not
in vehicle" will come on, and if all
doors are closed, the chime will also
sound for about 5 seconds. The indi-
cator will turn off while the vehicle is
moving. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when using the ACC position
or if the vehicle engine is on.If the starting procedure is followed,
the "READY" symbol on the instru-
ment cluster will turn on. For more
details, please check Chapter 5.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA-
TION of Hybrid system
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts.
Don't race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
The regenerative brake generates
energy when the vehicle decelerates.
When the hybrid battery power is low,
the hybrid system automatically
recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine runs in "N" position,
the hybrid system can not generate
electricity. The hybrid battery cannot
recharge in "N" position. Please check
Chapter 5.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
In the hybrid system, the engine auto-
matically runs and stops. If the hybrid
system operates, the "READY" symbol
is illuminated.
In the following situation, the engine
may operate automatically.
- When the engine is ready to run
- When the hybrid battery is charged
- Depending on the temperature condi-
tion of the hybrid battery
STARTING THE HYBRID VEHICLE (SMART KEY)
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, turn off
ignition and be sure "READY" lamp
is off before working under hood.
Engine may start unexpectedly.
