What to do in an emergency
Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-volt
and that its negative terminal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle,
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
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.
CAUTION - AGM battery
(if equipped)
3.
4.
Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
Connect the jumper cables in the exact
sequence shown in the illustration.   First
connect one end of a jumper cable to the
positive  terminal  of  the  discharged  bat-
tery (1), then connect the other end to the
positive  terminal  on  the  booster  battery
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehi-
cle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) bat-
teries  are  maintenance-free  and
should  only  be   serviced  by  an
authorized  HYUNDAI  dealer.  For
charging  your  AGM  battery, use
only    fully    automatic     battery
chargers that are  specially devel-
oped for AGM batteries.
Push-starting
Your manual  transaxle-equipped vehicle
should  not  be  push-started  because  it
might damage  the emission control sys-
tem.  Vehicles  equipped  with  automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started. Follow
the  directions  in  this  section  for  jump-
starting.
(2).
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal  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 contact
anything except the correct battery termi-
nals  or  the  correct  ground. Do  not  lean
over  the  battery  when  making  connec-
tions.
When replacing  the AGM battery,
use  only  the  HYUNDAI  genuine
battery for the ISG system.
Do not open or remove the cap on
top of the battery.This may cause
leaks  of  internal  electrolyte  that
could result in severe injury.
WARNING
If the AGM battery is reconnected
or replaced, ISG function will not
operate immediately.
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 you want to use the ISG func-
tion, the battery sensor needs to
be calibrated for approximately 4
hours with the ignition off.
CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable from
the negative terminal of the booster
battery to the negative terminal of the
discharged  battery.  This  can  cause
the  discharged  battery   to  overheat
and crack, releasing battery acid.
