LIGHT BULBS
We recommend that you consult a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer to re-
place most vehicle light bulbs. It is diffi-
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs be-
cause other parts of the vehicle must
be removed before you can get to the
bulb. This is especially true for remov-
ing the headlight assembly to get to the
bulb(s).
Information
i
The headlight and tail light lenses
could appear frosty if the vehicle is
washed after driving or the vehicle is
driven at night in wet weather. This
condition is caused by temperature dif-
ference between the light inside and
outside and, it does not indicate a
problem with your vehicle. When
moisture condenses in the light, it will
be removed after driving with the
headlight on. The removable level may
differ depending on light size, light po-
sition and environmental condition.
However, if moisture is not removed,
we recommend that your vehicle is in-
spected by a HYUNDAI authorised re-
pairer.
Removing/installing the headlight as-
sembly can result in damage to the ve-
hicle.
WARNING
Prior to replacing a light, depress
the foot brake, move the shift lever
into the N (Neutral, for Automated
manual transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission ve-
hicle), apply the parking brake, place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position, and take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle to avoid
sudden movement of the vehicle and
to prevent possible electric shock.

Traffic Change
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direction,
this asymmetric part will dazzle on-
coming car driver. To prevent dazzle,
ECE regulation demand several tech-
nical solutions (for example, automatic
change system, adhesive sheet, down
aiming). These headlights are designed
not to dazzle opposite drivers. So, you
need not change your headlights in a
country with opposite traffic direction.
Be aware the bulbs may be hot and
may burn your fingers.
NOTICE
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause dam-
age to the fuse or electric wiring sys-
tem.
