NOTICE
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 compo-
nents. 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.

ent in battery cells and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children because
batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC ACID.
Do not allow battery acid to
contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immedi-
ate medical attention.
