Jump starting procedure
Push-starting
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.
2.
If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
Vehicles
equipped
with
transaxle cannot be push-started.

3.
4.
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, we recommend that the
system be 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.
