CAUTION: o Keep the lamps out of contact with petroleum products, such as oil, gasoline, etc. o After heavy, driving rain or washing, headlight and taillight lenses could appear frosty. This condition is caused by the temperature difference between the lamp inside and outside.

If the water leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked by an Authorized Hyundai Dealer.
