NOTICE
WARNING - Battery
dangers
Always read the following
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Basically equipped battery is mainte-
nance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked with
LOWER and UPPER on the side, you
can check the electrolyte level. The elec-
trolyte level should be between LOWER
and UPPER. If the electrolyte level is
low, it needs to add distilled (demineral-
ized) water (Never add sulfuric acid or
other electrolyte). When refill, be care-
ful not to splash the battery and adja-
cent components. And do not overfill the
battery cells. It can cause corrosion on
other parts. After then ensure that tight-
en the cell caps. We recommend that you
contact an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
Keep lighted cigarettes and
all other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly com-
gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
