WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3- 3
D020A02A-AATJUMP STARTING
WARNING:
The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. If
these instructions are not followed exactly,
serious personal injury and damage to the
vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to
follow this procedure, seek qualified assis-
tance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric
acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive.
When jump starting, wear protective glasses
and be careful not to get acid on yourself,
your clothing or on the car.Discharged

!
o If you should accidentally get acid on your
skin or in your eyes, immediately remove
any contaminated clothing and flush the area
with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then
promptly obtain medical attention. If you must
be transported to an emergency facility, con-
tinue to apply water to the affected area with
a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do
not smoke or allow a spark or open flame in
the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump
start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter-
mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not at-
tempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,
follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another
vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not
touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact location shown on the previous page.
First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to
the positive (+) post or cable of the dis-
charged battery. Then attach the other end
of the same cable to the positive (+) post or
cable of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the nega-
tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.Then attach the other end of that cable to a
solid metal part of the engine away from the
battery. Do not connect the cable to any
moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery using the normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became
discharged (because the lights were left on,
etc.), have the charging system checked by
your Hyundai dealer.

G200B01A-AATReplacing Accessory Fuse
The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
accessories will be found low on the dashboard
on the driver's side. Inside the box you will find
a list showing the circuits protected by each
fuse.
CAUTION:When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the same
or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece
of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. This
could result in serious damage and create a
fire hazard.
!
HLC4002
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse could
be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you
will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has
burned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,
follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse.
Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a
small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the
fuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you
find one that appears to have burned out.
HLC4003
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new
fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse
should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse
clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai deal-
G200A01A-AATCHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSES
Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits
from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre-
venting damage to the entire wiring harness.
(This could be caused by a short in the system
drawing too much current.) If this ever happens,
have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,
repair the system and replace the fusible link.
The fusible links are located in a relay box for
easy inspection.

G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be replaced if
there is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-
ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose
could cause premature failure.
Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluid
NOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR HYUNDAI
If you desire additional information about main-
taining and servicing your Hyundai, you may
purchase a factory Shop Manual at your Hyundai
dealer's parts department. This is the same
manual used by dealership technicians and while
it is highly technical it can be useful in obtaining
a better understanding of your car and how it
works.
G290A04A-AATHEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure
of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.

aiming screen.
And then, draw the parallel line at 0.8 in.(21
mm) place under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to
the parallel line with a phillips screwdriver
