What to do in an emergency

JUMP STARTING

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.

Batteries contain sulfu-

ric acid which is highly

corrosive. Do not allow

acid to contact your

eyes, skin or clothing.

WARNING

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or

DEATH to you or bystanders,

always follow these precautions

when working near or handling

the battery:

If acid gets into your eyes, flush

your eyes with clean water for at

least 15 minutes and get imme-

diate medical attention. If acid

gets on your skin, thoroughly

wash the area. If you feel pain or

a burning sensation, get med-

ical attention immediately.

Always read and follow

instructions

carefully

when handling a battery.

Wear eye protection

designed to protect the

eyes from acid splashes.

• When lifting a plastic-cased

battery, excessive pressure

on the case may cause battery

acid to leak. Lift with a battery

carrier or with your hands on

opposite corners.

• Do not attempt to jump start

your vehicle if your battery is

frozen.

• NEVER attempt to recharge

the battery when the vehicle’s

battery cables are connected

to the battery.

Keep all flames, sparks,

or smoking materials

away from the battery.

Hydrogen is always

present in battery cells,

is highly combustible,

and may explode if ignit-

ed.

Keep batteries out of

reach of children.

Jump starting procedure

• The electrical ignition system

works with high voltage.

NEVER touch these compo-

nents with the engine running

or when the ignition switch is

in the ON position.

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.

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 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).

NOTICE

To prevent damage to your vehi-

cle:

• Only use a 12-volt power supply

(battery or jumper system) to

jump start your vehicle.

6. Connect the second jumper cable

to the black, negative (-) battery/

chassis ground of the assisting

vehicle (3).

• Do not attempt to jump start

your vehicle by push-starting.

conditioning is ON, turn it OFF.

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 battery discharging is not

apparent, have your vehicle checked

by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

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

reservoir 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 hands,

clothing and tools

away from the mov-

ing parts such as the

cooling fan and drive

belt to prevent seri-

ous injury.

surized

coolant

reserve tank cap or the radiator

drain plug while the engine and

radiator are HOT. Hot coolant

and steam may blow out under

pressure, causing serious

injury.

Turn the engine off and wait

until the engine cools down.

Use extreme care when remov-

ing the coolant reserve tank

cap. Wrap a towel or thick rag

around it, and turn it counter-

clockwise slowly to release

some of the pressure from the

system. Step back while the

pressure is released.

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

call the nearest authorized

HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

Serious loss of coolant indi-

cates a leak in the cooling sys-

tem and should be checked as

soon as possible by an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

When you are sure all the pres-

sure has been released, contin-

ue turning the cap counter-

clockwise to remove it.
