What to do in an emergency
Jump starting procedure
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.
Push-starting
1.
Make sure  the  booster battery  is  12-
volt  and  that its  negative  terminal  is
grounded.
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
automatic
CAUTION - Battery cables
transaxle cannot be push-started.
3.
4.
Turn  off   all   unnecessary   electrical
loads.
Follow  the directions  in  this  section for
jump-starting.
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.
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  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  lifting   bracket)
away from the battery  (4). Do not con-
nect it  to or near  any part that  moves
when the engine is cranked.
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.
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.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehi-
cle checked  by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
