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 a HYUNDAI au-

thorised repairer for better battery

service.
