SD020B1-E If the Engine Cannot be Cranked
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manualtransaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressed whilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with automatic transaxle, ensure that the transaxle
selector is at the "P" or "N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and con-
nections to ensure that these areclean and also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lights dim when
the engine is cranked and the batteryterminals have been checked, a dis- charged battery is indicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start
the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"for information regarding engine start- ing when the battery is discharged. D010C02A-EAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
D010B01FC 1. Check fuel level.
2. With the key in the "OFF" position,check all connectors at ignition coilsand spark plugs(For Petrol Engine)or check all connectors at glow plug and glow plug relay(For Diesel En- gine). Reconnect any that may bedisconnected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com-
partment.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai authorised repairer or seekother qualified assistance. SSA3020C
!
SD020A1-E Seek assistance from the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer with regardto the method of ignition and fuel sys- tem diagnosis.
CAUTION:
If the engine refuses to start, noattempt should be made to push or tow start the vehicle. Vehicles withautomatic transaxle or fuel injection will not be able to be started in this manner since no drive is transmittedthrough the automatic transaxle whilst the engine is not running, and in the case of fuel injected deriva-tives, the fuel pump will not operate under tow start conditions. In addi- tion, if the vehicle is equipped withan exhaust catalyst, damage to the catalyst may result if the vehicle is tow started.

4IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
SD040A2-E If the temperature gauge indicates over- heating:
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 coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from underthe bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolant has stopped running or the steaming hasstopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be surethe engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is broken. If it is not broken,check to see that it is tight.If the drive belt seems to be satisfac- tory, check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car.(If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it).
4. Connect the red jump cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the boosterbattery, and the other end to a groundpoint within the engine compartment of the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not connect to the negative batteryterminal of the flat battery since sparks may be generated with the subsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start theengine of the vehicle with the flatbattery.
7. Switch "ON" the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov-ing the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment. Once the jumper cables have been removed, switch"OFF" the main beam headlamps. CAUTION:
If the jump cables are incorrectlyinstalled, damage to the vehicle elec- trical system may occur, in particu- lar the electronic components suchas the Fuel Injection system com- puter and the Automatic Transaxle computer. The battery must never bedisconnected whilst the engine is running.

!WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from mov- ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury. 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai authorised repairer for assistance.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres-sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People usingpacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring harness within theengine room whilst engine is run- ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con-siderable magnetic fields.!
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected fromthe radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating can- not be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, care-fully remove the radiator cap and add water to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the base of the radia-tor fill opening. Fill the coolant ex- pansion tank to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is estab- lished that the engine is operatingnormally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundaiauthorised repairer should be sought. CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai authorisedrepairer.

EMERGENCY TOWING
D080D04A-EAT For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of thetowing hooks under the front/rear of your vehicle. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpavedsurface. This could result in serious damage to your vehicle. Nor should towing be attempted if thewheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral and thekey is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towedvehicle to steer it and operate the brakes. D080D04FC

o Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changes are required. 6ZF060B1-A
o Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil contamination and replace if neces- sary. Drive belts should be checkedperiodically for proper tension and ad- justed as necessary. 6ZF060C1-A
o Fuel Filter A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, dam- age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently.After installing a new filter, run theengine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. Highpressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts the body. People usingpacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring harness within theengine room whilst engine is run- ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con-siderable magnetic fields.
