If your vehicle is equipped with a battery
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).
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 recommend you to
contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for better battery service.
NOTICE
If the Electrolyte level is Low, add
distilled (or demineralized) water.
Never add sulfuric acid or other
electrolyte.
