er. If you do not have a spare fuse, you may
be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower
rating from an accessory you can tempo-
rarily get along without (the radio or cigarette
lighter, for example). Always remember to
replace the borrowed fuse.
CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that there is a
problem in the electrical circuit. If you re-
place a fuse and it blows as soon as the
accessory is turned on, the problem is seri-
ous and should be referred to a Hyundai
dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never re-
place 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.

driven to get medical assistance, continue to
rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft
cloth saturated with water.

quantity of water or milk followed by milk of
magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable
