Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service
do it for you.
JUMP STARTING

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling the
battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away
from the battery.
Hydrogen is always pres
ent in battery cells, is high
ly combustible, and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which is highly corro
sive. Do not allow acid to
contact your eyes, skin or
clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get immedi
ate medical attention. If acid gets
on your skin, thoroughly wash the
area. If you feel pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
•When lifting a plasticcased bat
tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak. Lift with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite cor
ners.
•Do not attempt to jump start
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
(Continued)
WARNING
•Improper jump starting proce
dure can result in battery explo
sion and acid burn hazard.
•Loosely connected battery
cables could damage the elec
tronic control units.
•To disconnect battery terminals
wait for at least 2 minutes to
allow discharge of high voltage
or it could lead to personal
injury.
•While disconnecting, always dis
connect the VE terminal first
and while connecting, always
connect the VE terminal last.
CAUTION

4. Connect the jumper cables in theexact sequence shown in the illus
tration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle(1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive
(+) battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
6. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative ()
batter y/chassis ground of the
assisting vehicle (3). 7. Connect the other end of the sec
ond jumper cable to the black,
negative () chassis ground of
your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor
rect battery or jumper terminals or
the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making
connections.
8. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at approxi
mately 2,000 rpm for a few min
utes. Then start your vehicle.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of
your batter y discharging is not
apparent, we recommend that your
vehicle be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connectedthem:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from
the black, negative () chassis
ground of your vehicle (4).
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, neg
ative () battery/chassis ground of
the assisting vehicle (3).
3. Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+)
batter y/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the red, positive
(+) jumper terminal of your vehicle(1).

WARNING

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine may be over
heating. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park, for automatic transaxle vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transaxle vehi
cle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is ON, turn it
OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com
ing 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 engine
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running,
turn the engine off. 4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
6-8
What to do in an emergency
While the engine is run
ning, keep hands,
clothing and tools away
from the moving parts
such as the cooling fan
and drive belt to pre
vent serious injury.
WARNING
NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug while the
engine and radiator are
hot. Hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pres
sure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use
extreme care when removing the
radiator cap. Wrap a thick towel
around it, and turn it counterclock
wise slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is
released from the cooling system.
When you are sure all the pres
sure has been released, press
down on the cap, using a thick
towel, and continue turning coun
terclockwise to remove it.
WARNING

6-26
What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle is equipped with emer
gency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know
how to use the fire extinguisher, fol
low these steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the
handle from being accidentallypressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze
the handle to discharge the extin
guisher. If you release the handle,
the discharge will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may reignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid
such as scissors, bandage and
adhesive tape, etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the
road to warn oncoming vehicles dur
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to problems.
Tire pressure gauge
(if equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day
today use, and you may have to add
a air periodically and usually it is not
a sign of a leaking tire, but of normal
wear. Always check tire pressure
when the tires are cold because tire
pressure increases with tempera
ture. To check the tire pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will leak as
you begin and more will leak if you
don't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm nonleaking push will acti vate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to see whether the tire
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure. Refer to "Tires
and Wheels" in chapter 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
