2009 Hyundai Accent bonnet

3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
4IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A01A-DAT 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, 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 hand 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 thebonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolant hasstopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engineoff.
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 theradiator, hoses or under the car.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper
cable in the exact order shown in theillustration. That is, first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thedischarged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thebooster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of thebooster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away fromthe 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 afew minutes. This will help to as- sure that the booster battery is fullycharged. During the jumping opera- tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normalstarting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con- nected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for severalminutes.

CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
G120E02A-AAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open anylonger than required. This will pre- vent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake system and cause improper operation. To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoircap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-voir and tighten. G130A01A-DAT (If Installed) To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when per- forming other under bonnet services. The system should be checked forleakage at the same time. Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is between the "MAX" and"MIN" level markings on the fluid reser- voir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired im- mediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer.
G120D01A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN"and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bringit up to "MAX". Do not overfill.

This is similarto the condensation on your win- dows inside your vehicle during the rain and doesn’t indicate aproblem with your vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checkedby an authorised Hyundai dealer.
