BATTERY
For best battery service
• Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
• Keep the battery top clean and dry.
• Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
• Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
• If the vehicle is not going to be
used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.
WARNING- Battery
dangers
Always read the following
instructions carefully
when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes
and all other flames or
sparks away from the bat-
tery.
Hydrogen, a highly com-
bustible petrol, is always
present in battery cells
and may explode if ignit-
ed.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children because
batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC
ACID. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your
skin, eyes, clothing or
paint finish.
(Continued)
OMD071016R
(Continued)
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and
get immediate medical
attention.
If electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash
the contacted area. If you
feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near
a battery. Always provide
ventilation when working
in an enclosed space.
An inappropriately dis-
posed battery can be
harmful to the environ-
ment and human health.
Dispose of the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.

The battery contains
lead. Do not dispose of it
after use. Please return
the battery to an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer to
be recycled.
• When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
• Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
• The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
Failure to follow the above
warnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.CAUTION
If you connect unauthorised
electronic devices to the bat-
tery, the battery may be dis-
charged. Never use unautho-
rised devices.
