serve the following precautions to avoid
serious injuries.o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assis-
tance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out
your eyes with water and get medical
assistance as soon as possible. While
you are being driven to get medical

ed with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a
large quantity of water or milk followed
by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or
drink vegetable oil. Get medical assis-
tance as soon as possible.

o Charge batteries only in a well venti-
lated area.

ing in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.

G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on
automatically if the engine coolant tem-
perature is high.WARNING:
The radiator fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan, so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the coolant tem-
perature decreases the fan will auto-
matically shut off. This is a normal con-
dition.G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling FanThe condenser cooling fan should come

If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the con-
tacted area.
If you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical atten-
tion immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a
battery.
Always provide ventilation
when working in an enclosed
space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak, resulting
in personal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on oppo-
site corners.
o Never attempt to charge the battery
when the battery cables are con-
nected.
o The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage.
Never touch these components with
the engine running or the ignition
switched on.
WARNING:
Always read the following in-
structions carefully when han-
dling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and
all other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly
combustible gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach
of children because batteries
contain highly corrosive SUL-
FURIC ACID. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your skin,
eyes, clothing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immedi-
ate medical attention. If pos-
sible, continue to apply water
with a sponge or cloth until
medical attention is received.

o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the
lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
