LIGHT BULBS

WARNING - Working on

the lights

Prior to working on the light, firmly

apply the parking brake, ensure

that the ignition switch is turned to

the LOCK position and turn off the

lights to avoid sudden movement

of the vehicle and burning your fin-

gers or receiving an electric shock.

CAUTION

If you don’t have necessary tools,

the correct bulbs and the expertise,

consult an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer. In many cases, it is difficult

to replace vehicle light bulbs

because other parts of the vehicle

must be removed before you can

get to the bulb. This is especially

true if you have to remove the head-

light assembly to get to the bulb(s).

Removing/installing the headlight

assembly can result in damage to

the vehicle.

Use only the bulbs of the specified

wattage.

CAUTION

✽

NOTICE

Be sure to replace the burned-out

bulb with one of the same wattage

rating. Otherwise, it may cause

damage to the fuse or electric

wiring system.

After heavy, driving rain or washing,

headlight and taillight lenses could

appear frosty. This condition is caused by

the temperature difference between the

lamp inside and outside. This is similar

to the condensation on your windows

inside your vehicle during the rain and

doesn’t indicate a problem with your

vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp

bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked

by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
