Information
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 electrolyte level should be
between LOWER and UPPER. If the
electrolyte level is low, it needs to add
distilled (demineralized) water (Never
add sulfuric acid or other electrolyte).
When refill, be careful not to splash
the battery and adjacent components.
And do not overfill the battery cells. It
can cause corrosion on other parts.
After then ensure that tighten the cell
caps. We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Battery dangers
Always read the fol-
lowing instructions
carefully when han-
dling a battery.
Keep lighted ciga-

Hydrogen, a highly
combustible gas, is
always present in bat-
tery cells and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of
the reach of children
because batteries
contain highly corro-
sive SULFURIC ACID.
Do not allow battery
acid to contact your
skin, eyes, clothing or
paint finish.
