Hyundai Elantra Owners Manual
Hyundai Elantra: Fuses
Refer to this section for a complete guide to bulb types used in your Hyundai Elantra’s exterior and interior lighting systems.
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one located in the driver’s side panel bolster, the other in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, accessories, or controls do not work, check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver’s side fuse panel. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indicates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type for lower amperage rating, cartridge type, and multi fuse for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with anything but another fuse of the same rating.
- A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a fire.
- Never install a wire or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse - even as a temporary repair. It may cause extensive wiring damage and a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuit and damage the system.
Instrument panel fuse replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.
3. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided in the engine compartment fuse panel.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you may not need for operating the vehicle, such as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses are OK, check the fuse panel in the engine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced.
Fuse switch
Always, put the fuse switch at the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF position, some items such as audio and digital clock must be reset and transmitter (or smart key) may not work properly.
CAUTION
Always place the fuse switch in the ON position while driving the vehichle.
Fuse switch message
If the fuse switch is in the OFF position the message "FUSE" and "ON" blinks in turns to inform the driver to turn on the fuse switch.
Engine compartment fuse replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
2. Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling up.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert the fuse, use the fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse panel.
4. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
After checking the fuse panel in the engine compartment, securely install the fuse panel cover. If not, electrical failures may occur from water contact.

Maintaining your Hyundai Elantra’s tires through regular inspections and preventative care ensures reliability, performance, and safety on every drive. Tire maintenance goes beyond simple air pressure checks—it involves keeping an eye on tread wear, alignment, and balance. Seasonal changes in temperature can alter tire pressure, so frequent monitoring is essential for consistent performance. Inspect your tires for embedded debris, cuts, and bulges that may compromise their structural integrity. Rotating tires as scheduled helps distribute wear evenly, improving lifespan and stability. Proper tire inflation contributes to optimal fuel economy and smoother handling. Clean tires regularly to remove road grime that may hide damage. Use a tread depth gauge or the built-in indicators to track remaining life. Investing a few minutes into tire care can prevent blowouts, skidding, or unnecessary replacements. Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that contacts the road—treat them accordingly.
