Jump starting procedure

✽✽

NOTICE

Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk

compartment, but when you jump start

your vehicle, use the jumper terminal in

the engine compartment.

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-

volt and that its negative terminal is

grounded.

2. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to

touch.

3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical

loads.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact

sequence shown in the illustration.

First connect one end of a jumper

cable to the positive terminal of the

jumper terminal (1), then connect the

other end to the positive terminal on

the booster battery (2).

Proceed to connect one end of the

other jumper cable to the negative ter-

minal of the booster battery (3), then

the other end to the negative terminal

of the jumper terminal (4). Do not con-

nect it to or near any part that moves

when the engine is cranked.

Do not allow the jumper cables to con-

tact anything except the correct battery

terminals or the correct ground. Do not

lean over the battery when making

connections.

5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the

booster battery and let it run at 2,000

rpm, then start the engine of the vehi-

cle with the discharged battery.

6. Let the discharged battery run for at

least 20 minutes either by engine

idling or by driving before you turn it off

else the discharged battery may not be

recharged enough to restart the car.

If the cause of your battery discharging is

not apparent, you should have your vehi-

cle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

Push-starting

Vehicles equipped with automatic trans-

mission cannot be push-started.

Follow the directions in this section for

jump-starting.

CAUTION - Battery cables

If you jump start the discharged

battery in the trunk compartment,

do not connect the jumper cable

from the negative terminal of the

booster battery to the negative ter-

minal of the discharged battery.

This can cause the discharged bat-

tery to overheat and crack, releas-

ing battery acid.

Connect the jumper cable from the

negative terminal of the booster

battery to a solid, stationary or

metallic point away from the dis-

charged battery.
