o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush
the affected areas with water for at
least 15 minutes and then seek
medical assistance.
!
CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that
there is a problem in the electrical
circuit. If you replace a fuse and it
blows as soon as the accessory is
turned on, the problem is serious
and should be referred to a
Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and
repair. Never replace a fuse with
anything except a fuse with the
same or a lower amperage rating.
A higher capacity fuse could cause
damage and create a fire hazard.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and get
medical assistance as soon as
possible. While you are being driven
to get medical assistance, continue
to rinse your eyes by using a
sponge or soft cloth saturated with
water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a
large quantity of water or milk fol-
lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a
raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Get
medical assistance as soon as
possible.
