IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
If engine does not turn over or
turns over slowly
1. If your vehicle has an automatictransaxle, be sure the shift lever is
in N (Neutral) or P (Park) and the
emergency brake is set.
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 oper-
ate the starter, the battery is dis-
charged.
4. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump
starting".
If engine turns over normally
but does not start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the ignition switch in the OFFposition, check all connectors at
the ignition coils and spark plugs.
Reconnect any that may be dis-
connected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine compartment.
4. If the engine still does not start, call an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er or seek other qualified assis-
tance.
WARNING - Push/pull
start
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. Push or pull starting may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload and create a fire hazard.

What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.Positive (+) battery terminal on
your vehicle
Positive (+) battery terminal on
the booster battery
Negative (-) battery terminal on
the booster battery
Negative (-) cable to a solid, sta-
tionary metallic point on the
engine (such as the engine lifting
bracket). DO NOT connect it
directly to the negative battery
terminal.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow the jump
starting procedures. If in doubt, we
strongly recommend that you have a
competent technician or towing serv-
ice jump start your vehicle.

■Engine compartment
CAUTION - 12 volt
battery
Use only a 12-volt jumper sys-tem. You can damage a 12-voltstarting motor, ignition system,and other electrical partsbeyond repair by use of a 24-volt power supply (either two12-volt batteries in series or a24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING - Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as this
may cause the battery to rupture
or explode causing serious
injury.
WARNING - Frozen
batteries
Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte level
is low as the battery may rupture
or explode causing serious
injury.
WARNING - Battery
Keep all flames or sparks away
from the battery. The battery
produces hydrogen gas which
will explode if exposed to flame
or sparks causing serious
injury.
WARNING - Sulfuric acid
risk
When jump starting your vehicle
be careful not to get acid on
yourself, your clothing or on the
vehicle. Automobile batteries
contain sulfuric acid. This is poi-
sonous and highly corrosive.

Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustra-
tion.
Connect one end of the red
jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal on your vehicle (1).
Connect the other end of the red
jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal on the booster battery (2).
Connect one end of the black
jumper cable to the negative ter-
minal of the booster battery (3).
Connect the other end of the
black jumper cable to a solid, sta-
tionary metallic point on the
engine (such as the engine lifting
bracket). DO NOT connect it
directly to the negative battery
terminal. Do not connect it to or
near any part that moves when
the engine is cranked. Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the battery
when making connections.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with
the booster battery and let it run at
2,000 rpm, then start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
6. Once the engine has started, care- fully remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order of attachment.
If the cause of your battery discharg-ing is not apparent, you should haveyour vehicle checked by an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Push-starting
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section
for jump-starting.

CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cablefrom the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negativeterminal of the discharged bat-tery. This can cause the dis-charged battery to overheat andcrack, releasing battery acid.
