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.

5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating:
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.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from under
the bonnet stop the engine. Do not
open the bonnet until the coolant has
stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be sure
the engine cooling 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). WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep
hands and clothing away from mov-
ing parts such as the fan and drive
belts to prevent injury.
7. Switch ON the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov-
ing the jumper cables in the reverse
order of attachment. Once the
jumper cables have been removed,
switch "OFF" the main beam
headlamps.
CAUTION:
If the jump cable is incorrectly in-
stalled, damage to the vehicle elec-
trical system may occur, in particu-
lar the electronic components such
as the Fuel Injection system com-
puter and the Automatic transaxle
computer. The battery must never
be disconnected whilst the engine
is running.

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 and
high pressure pipes are subject to
high pressure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced by
fuel leaks may cause serious in-
jury, if it touch the body. People
using pacemakers should not move
than 30cm closer to the ECU or
wiring harness within the engine
room while engine is running, since
the high currents in the Common
Rail system produce considerable
magnetic fields.
