located in the driver's side panel bol-
ster, the other in the engine compart-
ment 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.
Blown
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
Before replacing an open fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
Blown
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult
HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher
Blown
amperage ratings.

WARNING
• 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 alu-
minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
an authorized
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the
system.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ from equipped items.
