2009 Hyundai Accent under hood

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSD030A02A-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, 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 conditioner is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from the hood,
stop the engine. Do not open the hood
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 op-
erating. 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 conditioner
had been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when you
stop). 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable
in the exact location shown on the
previous page. First, attach one clamp
of the jumper cable to the positive (+)
post or cable of the discharged battery.
Then attach the other end of the same
cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the
negative (-) post or cable of the booster
battery. Then attach the other end of
that cable to a solid metal part of the
engine away from the 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 a few
minutes. This will help to assure that
the booster battery is fully charged.
During the jumping operation, run the
engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal
starting procedure. After the engine
starts, leave the jumper cables con-
nected and let the engine run at fast
idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order of attachment.If you do not know why your battery be-
came discharged (because the lights were
left on, etc.), have the charging system
checked by your Hyundai dealer.
