Maintenance
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
After heavy, driving rain or wash-
ing, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear frosty. This condi-
tion is caused by the temperature
difference between the lamp
inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your win-
dows inside your vehicle during
the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle.
If
water leaks into the lamp bulb cir-
cuitry, we recommend that the
system be checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

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 vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, we recommend that
you 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 headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the head-
light assembly can result in
damage to the vehicle.
