What to do in an emergency
66
Jump starting procedure
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 discharged
battery (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
terminal of the booster battery (3), then
the other end to a solid, stationary,
metallic point (for example, the engine
lifting bracket) away from the battery (4).
Do not connect 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 con-
nections.
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.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, we recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because it
might damage the emission control sys-
tem.
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
CAUTION - Battery cables
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.
CAUTION - AGM battery
(if equipped)
• AAbsorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-free
and we recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer. For charging
your AGM battery, use only fully
automatic battery chargers that
are specially developed for AGM
batteries.
• When replacing the AGM battery,
we recommend that you use parts
for replacement from a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• Do not open or remove the cap on
top of the battery.This may cause
leaks of internal electrolyte that
could result in severe injury.
• If the AGM battery is reconnected
or replaced, ISG function will not
operate immediately.
If you want to use the ISG func-
tion, the battery sensor needs to
be calibrated for approximately 4
hours with the ignition off.
