of  the vehicle  with the  discharged  battery
away from  the battery. Do not  connect the
cable to any  moving part.
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.
Start  the  engine  in  the  car  with the  dis-
charged  battery using  the  normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine

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.

Do  not remove  the radiator  cap  when the
engine is hot.  This can allow coolant to  be
blown out  of  the opening  and cause  seri-
ous  burns.

Carefully remove  the jumper  cables in the
reverse order  of  attachment.

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).

ther  signs  of  overheating.  If  overheating
happens  again, call  a  Hyundai  dealer for
assistance.
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.
