Jump Starting Procedure
1.  Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach, but 
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
2.  Avoid fans or any moving parts in the  engine compartment at all times, even 
when the vehicles are turned off.
3.  Turn off all electrical devices such as  radios, lights, air conditioning, etc. 
Put the vehicles in P (Park) and set 
the parking brakes. Turn both vehicles 
OFF.

4.  Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the 
illustration. 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 (-) battery/chassis 
ground of the assisting vehicle (3).
7.  Connect the other end of the second  jumper cable to the black, negative (-) 
chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to 
contact anything except the correct 
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 approximately 
2,000 rpm for a few minutes. 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 battery 
discharging is not apparent, have your 
vehicle checked by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
Disconnect the jumper cables in the 
exact reverse order you connected them:
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, negative 
(-) battery/chassis ground of the 
assisting vehicle (3).
3.  Disconnect the second jumper cable  from the red, positive (+) battery/
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).
