Jump starting procedure
✽
✽NOTICE
If the battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a battery
of another vehicle and two jumper
cables. Only use jumper cables with
fully insulated clamp handles.
To prevent personal injury or dam-
age to both vehicles, adhere strictly
to the following procedure.
1.Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal 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 illus-
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal of the discharged battery (1),
then connect the other end to the
positive terminal on the booster
battery (2). Proceed to connect
one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative terminal of the
booster battery (3), then the other
end to a solid, stationary, metallic
point (for example, the engine lift-
ing bracket) away from the battery
(4). Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked.
Make sure that there is no contact
between the bodywork of the two
vehicles; otherwise, there is the
danger of short circuits.
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat-
tery 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. If the first starting attempt
is not successful, wait a few min-
utes before making another
attempt in order to allow the dis-
charged battery to recharge.
To charge the discharged battery
enough, it is recommended to let the
engine at idle or to drive the vehicle
for a certain period of time.
If the cause of your battery discharg- ing is not apparent, you should haveyour vehicle checked by an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer.
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.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. 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 and set the parking brake. If the air condi-
tioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine 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 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 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 condition-
ing had been in use, it is normal
for cold water to be draining from it
when you stop.)
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leaking
out, stop the engine immediately
and call the nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er for assistance.
WARNING
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indi-cates there is a leak in the cool-ing system and this should bechecked as soon as possible byan authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This
may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns.
