rpm, then start  the engine of the vehi-

If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a  loss of power,
or  hear  loud  pinging  or   knocking,  the
engine  is probably  too  hot. If  this  hap-
pens, you should:
WARNING
While  the engine  is  running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away  from
moving parts  such  as the  fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehi-
cle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it
is safe to do so.
5. If the water  pump drive belt  is broken
or engine  coolant is  leaking out,  stop
the  engine  immediately  and  call  the
nearest  authorized  HYUNDAI  dealer
for assistance.
2.
Place  the   gear  selector   lever  in  P
(automatic transaxle) or  neutral (man-
ual  transaxle)   and   set  the   parking
brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn
it off.

Push-starting
Your manual  transaxle-equipped vehicle
should  not  be  push-started  because  it
might damage  the emission control sys-
tem.
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.

Do  not   remove  the   radiator  cap
when  the  engine  is  hot. This  can
allow coolant to be blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns.
Follow  the directions  in  this  section for
jump-starting.
WARNING
Never   tow  a   vehicle   to   start   it
because the sudden  surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
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 con-
ditioning had been  in use, it is  normal
for  cold  water to  be  draining  from  it
when you stop).
