. Attach  the clamps of the jumper cable
in  the  exact  location   shown  on  the
previous page. First, attach one clamp
of the jumper  cable to the  positive (+)
post or cable of the discharged 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
negative (-) 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.
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  2000
rpm.
If you  do not know  why your battery  be-
came discharged (because the lights were
left  on, etc.),  have  the charging  system
checked  by your  Hyundai dealer.

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:
1. Pull  off the  road and stop  as soon as
it is safe  to do so.
2.
Place  the  gear  selector  lever  in  "P"
(automatic),      or   neutral    (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air  conditioner is on,  turn it off.
If coolant is  running out under the  car

or
steam  is coming  out from  under-
neath  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  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.
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 conditioner
had been  in use,  it is normal  for cold
water to  be draining from it  when you
stop).

. Start  the  engine  in  the  car  with  the
discharged  battery  using  the  normal
starting  procedure.  After  the   engine
starts,  leave  the  jumper cables  con-
nected and  let  the engine  run at  fast
idle  or  about   2000  rpm  for  several
minutes.
