ground. Do  not lean  over the  bat-
tery when making connections.

cables
3.Turn off  all unnecessary  electrical
loads.
Do   not   connect    the   jumper
cable from the negative terminal
of  the   booster  battery   to  the
negative   terminal   of  the   dis-
charged battery. This can cause
the discharged  battery  to over-
heat  and  crack,  releasing  bat-
tery acid.
4.Connect
the jumper  cables  in the
exact sequence shown in  the illus-
tration. First connect  one end of  a
jumper cable  to the positive termi-
nal  of the  discharged  battery  (1),
then connect  the other  end to  the
positive  terminal   on  the  booster
battery   (2).  Proceed  to   connect
one end of  the other jumper  cable
to  the   negative   terminal  of   the
booster battery  (3), then the  other
end to  a solid,  stationary, metallic
point (for  example, the  engine lift-
ing bracket) away  from the battery
WARNING
Never  tow  a vehicle  to  start  it
because the  sudden  surge for-
ward  when   the  engine   starts
could cause a collision with the
tow vehicle.
5.Start
the engine of the vehicle with
the booster battery and let it run  at
rpm, then start the engine of
2,000
the  vehicle   with  the   discharged
battery.
If the cause of your battery discharg-
ing is  not apparent,  we recommend
that  the  system be  checked  by  an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
