D010A01A-AAT IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
WARNING:
If the engine will not start, do not push or pull the car to start it. Thiscould result in a collision or causeother damage. In addition, push or pull starting may cause the cata- lytic converter to be overloaded andcreate a fire hazard. D010B01A-AAT If Engine Doesn't Turn Over or Turns Over Slowly 1. If your car has an automatic
transaxle, be sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P" and the emer-gency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operatethe starter, the battery is discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. See instructions for "JumpStarting" on the following pages. D010D01A-AAT If Engine Stalls While Driving

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3- 3
WARNING:
The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation ishighly explosive. If these instruc-tions are not followed exactly, seri- ous personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you arenot sure how to follow this proce-dure, seek qualified assistance.Automobile batteries contain sul-furic acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive. When jump start- ing, wear protective glasses and becareful not to get acid on yourself,your clothing or on the car.
o If you should accidentally get acid on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contami-nated clothing and flush the areawith clear water for at least 15 min- utes. Then promptly obtain medical attention. If you must be transportedto an emergency facility, continue toapply water to the affected areawith a sponge or cloth. o The gas produced by the battery
during the jump-start operation ishighly explosive. Do not smoke orallow a spark or open flame in thevicinity.
o The battery being used to provide
the jump start must be 12-volt. If youcannot determine that it is a 12-voltbattery, do not attempt to use it forthe jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery, follow this procedure ex-actly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the twovehicles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and
accessories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper
cable in the exact order shown in theillustration. That is, first, attach oneclamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the discharged battery. Then attach theother end of the same cable to thepositive (+) post or cable of thebooster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solidmetal part of the engine away fromthe battery. Do not connect the cableto any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as-sure that the booster battery is fullycharged. During the jumping opera-tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the nor- mal starting procedure. After theengine starts, leave the jumpercables connected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for several minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the chargingsystem checked by your Hyundaidealer.!

3- 4 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (Ifthe air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephair, hands, and clothing away frommoving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately andcall the nearest Hyundai dealer forassistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open-ing and cause serious burns.
D030A01A-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss ofpower, or hear loud pinging or knock-ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis 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" (automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and checkto be sure the engine cooling fan isoperating. If the fan is not 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 that it is tight. If thedrive belt seems to be satisfactory, 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the enginetemperature has returned to nor-mal. Then, if the engine coolant hasbeen lost, carefully remove the ra- diator cap and add engine coolant to bring the fluid level in the reservoirup to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of engine coolant indi- cates there is a leak in the coolingsystem and this should be checkedas soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.

HXGS413
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosenthe nuts, turn the wrench handle coun-terclockwise. When doing this, be sure that the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. Formaximum leverage, position thewrench so the handle is to the right asshown in the drawing. Then, whileholding the wrench near the end of the handle, pull up on it with steady pres- sure. Do not remove the nuts at thistime. Just loosen them about one-halfturn.

Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,pick up the spare tire, line up the holes D060G01L
D060F02E-AAT 5. Raising the Car After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the wrenchbar into the jack as shown in the draw-ing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jack be- gins to raise the vehicle, double checkthat it is properly positioned and willnot slip. If the jack is on soft ground orsand, place a board, brick, flat stone orother object under the base of the jack to keep it from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that thefully inflated spare tire can be installed.To do this, you will need more groundclearance than is required to removethe flat tire.

with the studs and slide the wheel ontothem. If this is difficult, tip the wheelslightly and get the top hole in thewheel lined up with the top stud. Thenjiggle the wheel back and forth until the wheel can be slid over the other studs.
WARNING:
Wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Be- fore putting the wheel into place, besure that there is nothing on thehub or wheel (such as mud, tar,gravel, etc.) that interferes with thewheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on themounting surface between thewheel and hub, the wheel nuts couldcome loose and cause the loss of awheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrench counterclock-wise. Then position the wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket isseated completely over the nut. Do notstand on the wrench handle or use anextension pipe over the wrench handle.Go around the wheel tightening every other nut until they are all tight. Then double-check each nut for tightness.After changing wheels, have a techni-cian tighten the wheel nuts to theirproper torque as soon as possible.

D060J01E-AAT After Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recom- mended, drive slowly to the nearestservice station and inflate to the cor-rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust ituntil it is correct. Always reinstall thevalve cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you lose avalve cap, buy another and install it assoon as possible. D060J01LAfter you have changed wheels, al-ways secure the flat tire in its place inthe trunk and return the jack and toolsto their proper storage locations.
