WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

3

JUMP STARTING

!

o If you should accidentally get acid on

your skin or in your eyes, immediately

remove any contaminated clothing and

flush the area with clean water for at

least 15 minutes. Then promptly obtain

medical attention. If you must be trans-

ported to an emergency facility, continue

to apply water to the affected area with

a sponge or cloth.

o The gas produced by the battery during

the jump-start operation is highly

explosive. Do not smoke or allow a

spark or an open flame in the vicinity.

o The battery being used to provide the

jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot

determine that it is a 12-volt battery, do

not attempt to use it for the jump start.

o To jump start a car with a discharged

battery, follow this procedure exactly:

1. If the booster battery is installed in

another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles

are not touching.

2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and

acces-sories in both vehicles.

3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in

the exact location shown on the illustra-

tion. First, attach one clamp of the jumper

cable to the positive (+) post or cable of

the discharged battery.

Then attach the other end of the same

cable to the positive (+) post or cable of

the booster battery. Next, using the other

cable, attach one clamp to the negative

(-) post or cable of the booster battery.

Then attach the other end of that cable

to a solid metal part of the engine of the

vehicle with the discharged battery

away from the battery. Do not connect

the cable to any moving part.

4. Start the engine in the car with the

booster battery and let it run for a few

minutes. This will help to assure that the

booster battery is fully charged. During

the jumping operation, run the engine

in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.

5. Start the engine in the car with the

discharged battery using the normal

starting procedure. After the engine

starts, leave the jumper cables con-

nected 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 charging system checked

by your Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:

The gas produced by the battery during

the jump-start operation is highly

explosive. If these instructions are not

followed exactly, serious personal injury

and damage to the vehicle may occur! If

you are not sure how to follow this

procedure, seek qualified assistance.

Automobile batteries contain sulfuric

acid. This is poisonous and highly

corrosive. When jump starting, wear pro-

tective glasses and be careful not to get

acid on yourself, your clothing or on the

car.
