A vehicle's electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver's side panel
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment 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. Before replacing a blown fuse,
turn the engine and all switches off,
and then disconnect the negative bat-
tery cable. Always replace a blown
fuse with one of the same rating.
Blown
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and immedi-
ately consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
i
Information
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
OLF074075
tridge type and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.
WARNING
Fuse replacement
•
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 prop-
er fuse - even as a temporary
repair. It may cause extensive
wiring damage and a possible
fire.
NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-
tem.
