C190F02A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailerrunning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel
than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi- ciency and electrical charging per- formance, do not use fifth gear(manual transaxle) or overdrive (au- tomatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.

Discharged battery
Booster battery
WARNING:
The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. If these instruc- tions are not followed exactly, seri-ous personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to follow this proce-dure, seek qualified assistance. Automobile batteries contain sul- furic acid. This is poisonous andhighly corrosive. When jump start- ing, wear protective glasses and be careful not to get acid on yourself,your clothing or on the car. 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper
cable in the exact order shown in theillustration. That is, first, attach oneclamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the discharged battery. Then attach theother end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery. Then attach theother end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cableto any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as- sure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping opera-tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.
5. Start your engine using the normal starting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con- nected and let the engine run at fastidle or about 2,000 rpm for several minutes.
D020A02A-AAT JUMP STARTING!
o If you should accidentally get acid
on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contami-nated clothing and flush the area with clear water for at least 15 min- utes. Then promptly obtain medicalattention. If you must be transported to an emergency facility, continue to apply water to the affected areawith a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery
during the jump-start operation ishighly 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 youcannot determine that it is a 12-voltbattery, do not attempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery, follow this procedure ex-actly:
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 accessories in both vehicles.

3- 4 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
D030A01TB-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
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 chargingsystem checked by your Hyundai dealer. 3. If engine coolant is running out un-
der the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the enginecooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop). WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands, and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.

D060H02A-AAT 7. Re-install Wheel Nuts To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them finger tight. The nuts should be installed with theirsmall diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then tighten the nuts as muchas possible with your fingers again.
WARNING:
Wheel and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on thehub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel from fitting solidly againstthe hub. If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on the mounting surface between thewheel and hub, the wheel nuts could loosen and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result inloss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

sory you can temporarily get along without (the radio or cigarette light- er, for example). Always rememberto replace the borrowed fuse. CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates thatthere is a problem in the electricalcircuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is seriousand should be referred to a Hyun- dai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse with anythingexcept a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could cause damageand create a fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-38 for the fuse panel descriptions.

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 6- 29
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush
the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seekmedical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue torinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei-ther by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-plosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from oc- curring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine coolant fan should come on automatically if the engine coolanttemperature is high. G220C01TB-AAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comes on automatically to be controlled by ECU.
G210B01A-AAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery postsor terminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery ter-minals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease. G220A01A-AAT CHECKING ELECTRIC COOL- ING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use ex- treme caution when working nearthe blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool-ant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
