$#!!" !If the engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly • Be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) if it is a
Continuously Variable Transaxle
vehicle. The engine starts only
when the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park).
• Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle. See instructions for "Jump Starting"

Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which is highly corro-
sive. Do not allow acid to
contact your eyes, skin or
clothing.

When lifting a plastic-cased bat-
tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak. L ift with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite cor-
ners.
•
Do not attempt to jump start
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)•
NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s bat-
tery cables are connected to the
battery.
•
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage. NEVER
touch these components with
the engine run ning or when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
•
Do not allow the (+) and (-)
jumper cables to touch. It may
cause sparks.
•
The battery may rupture or
explode when you jump start
with a low or frozen battery.
•
Never attempt jump start if you
observe cracks, leaks or other
damage on Battery.

TTo prevent damage to your vehicle:
• Only use a 12-volt power supply (battery or jumper system) to jump
s tart your vehicle.

Information
An inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulation.
Jump starting procedure 1.Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
2.Avoid fans or any moving parts in the engine compartment at all
times, even when the vehicles are
turned off.
3.Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park, for
Continuously Variable Transaxle
vehicle) or neutral (for Manual
Transaxle vehicle), and set the
parking brakes. Turn both vehicles
OFF.

•
Improper jump starting proce-
dure can result in battery explo-
sion and acid burn hazard.
•
Loosely connected battery
cables could damage the elec-
tronic control units.
•
To disconnect battery terminals
wait for at least 2 minutes to
allow discharge of high voltage
or it cou ld lead to personal
injury.
•
While disconnecting, always dis-
connect the -VE terminal first
and while connecting, always
connect the -VE terminal last.
CAUTION

4.Connect the jumper cables in theexact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle (1).
5.Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive
(+) battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
6.Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-)
battery/chassis ground of the
assisting vehicle (3). 7.Connect the other end of the sec-
ond jumper cable to the black, neg-
ative (-) chassis ground of your
vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over
the battery when making connec-
tions.
8.Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at approxi-
mately 2,000 rpm for a few min-
utes. Then start your vehicle.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of
your battery discharging is not
apparent, we recommend that your
vehicle be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connected
them:
1.Disconnect the jumper cable from
the black, negative (-) chassis
ground of your vehicle (4).
2.Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, nega-
tive (-) battery/chassis ground of
the assisting vehicle (3).
3.Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+) bat-
tery/jumper terminal of the assist-
ing vehicle (2).
4.Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the red, positive
(+) jumper terminal of your vehicle
(1).

WARNING

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine may be over-
heating. If this happens, you should:
1.Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P (Park, for Continuously Variable Transaxle
vehicle) or neutral (for Manual
Transaxle vehicle) and set the
parking brake. If the air condition-
ing is ON, turn it OFF.
3.If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com-
ing out from 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 engine 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. 4.Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5.If engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.$$ !%%#$#%% %"!!!$#'#"'"' %'$%'&&&%
While the engine is run-
ning, keep hands,
clothing and tools away
from the moving parts
such as the cool ing fan
and drive belt to pre-
vent serious injury.WARNING
NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug while the
engine and radiator are
hot. Hot coolant and
ste am may blow out under pres-
sure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use
extreme care when removing the
radiator cap. Wrap a thick towel
around it, and turn it c ounterclock-
wise slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is
released from the cooling sy stem.
When you are sure all the pres-
sure has been released, press
down on the cap, using a thick
towel, and continue turning coun-
terclockwise to remove it.WARNING

6.If you cannot find the cause of theoverheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance. •
•
Serious loss of coolant indicates a
leak in the cooling system and we
recommend the system be
checked b y an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• When the engine overheats from low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engin e coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant slow-
ly in small quanti ties.NOTICE

switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
3.Press the hazard warning flasher button.
4.Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire
from the vehicle.
5.Block both the front and rear of the tire diagonally opposite of the tire
you are changing. 6.Loosen the wheel lug nuts counter-
clockwise one turn each in the
order shown above, but do not
remove any lug nuts until the tire
has been raised off of the ground. 7.Place the jack at the designated
jacking position under the frame
closest to the tire you are chang-
ing. The jacking positions are
plates welded to the frame with two
tabs and a raised dot. Never jack
any other position or part of the
vehicle.
