!
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
check for engine 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 when you stop).

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knock-
ing, the engine is probably too hot. If
this 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 out
from the hood, stop the engine. Do
not open the hood until the engine
coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped. If there is no
visible loss of coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and check
to be sure the 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 missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the
drive belt seems to be satisfactory,
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the nor-
mal starting procedure. After the
engine starts, leave the jumper
cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about 2000 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:
While the engine is running, keep
hands and clothing away from mov-
ing parts such as the fan and drive
belts to prevent injury.

WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec-
onds after shutting off engine. High
pressure pump, rail, injectors and
high pressure pipes are subject to
high pressure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced by
fuel leaks may cause serious in-
jury, if it touch the body. People
using pacemakers should not move
than 30cm closer to the ECU or wir-
