WHAT TO DO  IN AN EMERGENCY
WARNING:
2.  Turn off  all unnecessary lights and  acces-
sories in both vehicles.
D030A01A-AAT
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-
ing, you  experience a  loss of power,  or hear
loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably
too hot. If this happens to you,  you should:
The gas produced by the battery during the
jump start operation is  highly explosive. If
these instructions are not followed exactly,
serious personal injury and damage to  the
vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how
to follow this procedure, seek qualified as-
sistance. Automobile batteries contain sul-
furic  acid.  This  is  poisonous and  highly
corrosive. When jump starting, wear protec-
tive glasses and be careful not to get acid on
yourself, your clothing or on the car.
3.  Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact order shown in the illustration. That is,
first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to
the  positive (+)  post  or  cable of  the  dis-
charged battery. Then attach the other end
of the same cable to the positive (+) post or
cable of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to  the nega-
tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.
Then attach the other end of that cable to a
solid metal part of the engine away from the
battery.  Do not  connect the  cable  to any
moving part.
1.  Pull off  the road and  stop as soon  as it is
safe to do so.
2.  Place the  gear selector lever  in "P" (auto-
matic   transaxle),     or  neutral    (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If  the
air conditioning is on, turn it off.
o
If you should accidentally  get acid on your
skin or  in your  eyes, immediately  remove
any  contaminated  clothing  and  flush  the
area with clear water for at least 15 minutes.
Then promptly  obtain medical  attention. If
you must be  transported to an emergency
facility, continue to apply water to the affect-
ed area with a sponge or cloth.
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
engine 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 engine coolant leak-
ing from the radiator, hoses or under the car.
(If the air conditioning had been in use, it is
normal for cold water to be draining from  it
when you stop).
4.
Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000
rpm.
o
o
The gas produced by the battery during the
jump start operation is highly explosive. Do
not smoke or allow a spark or an open flame
in the vicinity.
The battery being used to provide the jump
start must  be 12-volt. If  you cannot deter-
mine  that  it  is  a  12-volt  battery,  do  not
attempt to use it for the jump  start.
5.
6.
Start your engine using the normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about  2,000 rpm for sev-
eral minutes.
Carefully remove the  jumper cables in  the
reverse order of attachment.
o
To jump start  a car with a discharged  bat-
tery, follow this procedure exactly:
If you  do not know  why your battery  became
discharged  (because the  lights were  left  on,
etc.),  have the  charging  system checked  by
your Hyundai dealer.
1.
If the booster battery is installed in another
vehicle, be  sure  the two  vehicles are  not
touching.
