D010B02A-AAT If Engine Doesn't Turn Over or Turns Over Slowly
1. If your car has an automatic transaxle,
be sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P" and the emergency brakeis set. D010C01A-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel level.
2. Check all connectors at ignition, coil
and spark plugs. Reconnect any that may be disconnected or loose. D010D01A-AAT If the Engine Stalls While Driv- ing
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep-
ing a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer or seek other quali- fied assistance.
F020100AUN If the engine stalls at a crossroad or crossing If the engine stalls at a crossroad orcrossing, set the shift lever in the N (Neutral) position and then push the vehicle to a safe place. If your vehiclehas a manual transaxle not equipped with the ignition lock switch, the vehicle can move forward by shifting to the2(second) or 3(third) gear and then turn- ing the starter without depressing the clutch pedal.
D010A01A-AAT IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
CAUTION:
If the engine will not start, do not push or pull the car to start it. Thiscould result in a collision or cause other damage. In addition, push or pull starting may cause the cata-lytic converter to be overloaded and create a fire hazard.

2. Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the starter, the battery is discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. See instructions for "Jump Starting". 3. Check the fuel line in the engine
room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other quali- fied assistance.

3- 4 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
D030A02TB-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 under
the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine. Do notopen the hood until the engine cool- ant has stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan isoperating. 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.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 5
CAUTION:!
o Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressure water washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located in the engine compartment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.
OJB037800 E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads ona clean surface but spreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to preserve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery elec-
trolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off im- mediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of softplastic and the surface can be dam- aged if mistreated. Do not use abra-sive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. For example, if youhave your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if thecar is going to be placed in a high- temperature paint booth.
E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These candamage the finish of the car. To re- move road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth or commercially avail-able bug and tar remover. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaningpolish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combi- nation cleaner and wax. Use a goodquality commercial product and follow the manufacturer's directions on the container. Polish and wax the brighttrim pieces as well as the paint.

G200A01A-AAT CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSESReplacing a Fusible Link
G200A01L
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over-loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system draw-ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de- termine the cause, repair the systemand replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easy inspection. CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, neveruse anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece of wire ora higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious damage and create a fire hazard.
!
G200B02A-AAT Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found low on the dashboard on the driver's side.Inside the box you will find a list show- ing the circuits protected by each fuse. If any of your car's lights or otherelectrical accessories stop working, a blown fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you will see thatthe metal strip inside the fuse has burned through. If you suspect a blown fuse, follow this procedure: HTB180

sory you can temporarily get along without (the radio or cigarette light- er, for example). Always rememberto replace the borrowed fuse. CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates thatthere is a problem in the electricalcircuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is seriousand should be referred to a Hyun- dai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse with anythingexcept a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could cause damageand create a fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-36 for the fuse panel descriptions.

4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repairedor replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of thesame or lower rating from an acces-
1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the fusebox to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses
even if you find one that appears tohave burned out.

G220A01A-AAT CHECKING ELECTRIC COOL- ING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use ex- treme caution when working nearthe blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool-ant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children becausebatteries contain highly cor- rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to con-tact your skin, eyes, cloth- ing or paint finish. If any electrolyte gets intoyour 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 clothuntil medical attention is re- ceived. If electrolyte gets on yourskin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burn-ing sensation, get medical attention immediately. Wear eye protection whencharging or working near a battery. Always provide ventilationwhen working in an en- closed space.An inappropriately disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and humanhealth. Dispose the battery according to your local law(s) or regulation.
o When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on thecase may cause battery acid toleak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat- tery when the battery cables areconnected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.Never touch these componentswith the engine running or the ignition switched on.
