IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A01HR-GAT
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 neu-
tral 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, allow the engine to
idle. Do not open the hood until the
engine coolant has stopped running
or the steaming has stopped. If there
is no visible loss of engine coolant
and no steam, leave the engine
running, lift up the passenger's seat
(Refer to "To Inspect the Engine
Compartment Under the Passenger's
Seat" on page 1-13.) and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is oper-
ating. If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off.
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.
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,
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 when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep
hair, hands, and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.

1-11.) And remove the battery cover
by turning the knob counterclock-
wise. And then you can jump start
the car.
