sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact order shown in the illustration. That is, first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable tothe positive (+) post or cable of the dis-charged battery. Then attach the other endof the same cable to the positive (+) post orcable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the nega-tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.Then attach the other end of that cable to asolid metal part of the engine away from thebattery. Do not connect the cable to anymoving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000rpm.
5. Start your engine using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave thejumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for sev-eral minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery becamedischarged (because the lights were left on,etc.), have the charging system checked byyour Hyundai dealer.

If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-ing, you experience a loss of power, or hearloud pinging or knocking, the engine is probablytoo hot. If this happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic transaxle), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If theair conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stopthe engine. Do not open the hood until theengine coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of engine coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for engine coolant leak-ing from the radiator, hoses or under the car.(If the air conditioning had been in use, it isnormal for cold water to be draining from itwhen you stop).

The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly
before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turnthe wrench handle counterclockwise. Whendoing this, be sure that the socket is seatedcompletely over the nut so it cannot slip off. Formaximum leverage position the wrench so thehandle is to the right as shown in the drawing.Then, while holding the wrench near the end ofthe handle, pull up on it with steady pressure.Do not remove the nuts at this time.

After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut
wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as shown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turnthe wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jackbegins to raise the vehicle, double check that itis properly positioned and will not slip. If thejack is on soft ground or sand, you may find itnecessary to place a board, brick, flat stone orother object under the base of the jack to keepit from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this,you will need more ground clearance than isrequired to remove the flat tire.

Remove thewheel cover (if installed) from the wheel andslide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so itcannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,pick up the spare tire, line up the holes with thestuds and slide the wheel onto them. If this isdifficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the tophole in the wheel lined up with the top stud.Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until thewheel can be slid over the other studs.

The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
accessories will be found low on the dashboardon the driver's side. Inside the box you will finda list showing the circuits protected by eachfuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse couldbe the reason. If the fuse has burned out, youwill see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in thefuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out.

The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu-
tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it onyourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid onyourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are beingdriven to get medical assistance, continueto rinse your eyes by using a sponge or softcloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetableoil. Get medical assistance as soon aspossible.
While batteries are being charged (either by abattery charger or by the vehicle's alternator),they produce explosive gases. Always observethese warnings to prevent injuries from occur-ring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G210B01A-AAT
