1.
Make sure  the  booster battery  is 12-
volt  and that  its  negative  terminal  is
grounded.
Do  not  connect  the  jumper  cable
from  the  negative  terminal  of  the
booster battery  to the negative ter-
minal   of  the   discharged  battery.
This can cause the  discharged bat-
tery to  overheat and  crack, releas-
ing battery acid.
Your manual  transaxle-equipped vehicle
should  not  be  push-started  because  it
might damage  the emission control sys-
tem.

If  the  booster   battery  is  in  another
vehicle,  do not  allow  the  vehicles to
touch.
Vehicles

Turn  off   all   unnecessary   electrical
loads.
Follow  the directions  in  this section  for
jump-starting.
Connect   the  jumper   cables   in  the
exact sequence  shown in the  illustra-
tion. First connect one end of a jumper
cable  to  the  positive terminal  of  the
discharged  battery  (1), then  connect
the other  end to  the positive  terminal
on the booster battery (2).
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the
booster battery and  let it run  at 2,000
rpm, then start the  engine of the vehi-
cle with the discharged battery.
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.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehi-
cle checked by  an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Proceed  to  connect  one  end  of   the
other jumper cable to the  negative ter-
minal  of the  booster battery  (3),  then
the  other  end  to  a   solid,  stationary,
metallic point (for example,  the engine
lifting  bracket) away  from  the  battery
(4).  Do not  connect it  to  or near  any
part  that  moves  when  the  engine  is
cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct battery
terminals or the correct ground. Do not
lean  over   the  battery  when   making
connections.
