The electrolyte level should be between
LOWER (MIN) and UPPER (MAX).
When the electrolyte level is low, add
distilled (or de-mineralized) water.
(Never add sulfuric acids or other elec-
trolyte).
Be careful not to spill distilled (or dem-
ineralized) water over the battery sur-
face or other adjacent components.
Also, do not overfill the battery cells. If
not, it may corrode the battery or other
components. Finally, securely close the
cell cap. However, we recommend you to
contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for better battery service.

If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immedi-
ate medical attention. If
possible, continue to apply
water with a sponge or
cloth until medical atten-
tion is received. If elec-
trolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the con-
tacted area.
If you feel a pain or a burn-
ing sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a
battery. Always provide
ventilation when working in
an enclosed space.
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.

WARNING - Battery
dangers
Always read the following
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and
all other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly com-
bustible gas, is always
present 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.
