transaxle, be sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P" and the emer- gency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.

dims or goes out when you operate the starter, the battery is discharged.

sure they are securely tightened.

start it. See instructions for "Jump Starting" on the following pages. D010C01A-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start

room.

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.
