If your vehicle is equipped with a bat-
tery marked with LOWER (MIN) and
UPPER (MAX) on the side, you should
check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be between
LOWER (MIN) and UPPER (MAX).
When the electrolyte level is low, add
distilled (or de-mineralized) water.
(Never add sulfuric acids or other elec-
trolyte).
Be careful not to spill distilled (or de-
mineralized) water over the battery
surface or other adjacent components.
Also, do not overfill the battery cells.
If not, it may corrode the battery or
other components. Finally, securely
close the cell cap. However, we recom-
mend you to contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for better battery
service.
