WL_TakingCareOfBatteryWarning_7
An inappropriately disposed battery may
be harmful to the environment and
human health. Always dispose of a used
battery according to your local law(s) or
regulations.
To prevent damage to your vehicle:
• Only use a 12 V power supply (battery or
jumper system) to jump start your
vehicle.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by push-starting.
If The Engine Overheats
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, hear loud pinging or knocking, or
the engine may be overheating. If this
happens, you must:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and apply the
parking brake. If the air conditioning is
ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under
the vehicle or steam is coming out from
the hood, stop the engine. Do not open
the hood until the 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
and check to make sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not
running, turn off the engine.
WL_RadiatorFANWarning
While the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, and tools away from
the moving parts such as the cooling
fan and drive belt to prevent serious
injury.
4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses, or under the vehicle. (If
the air conditioning has been in use, it is
normal for cold water to be draining
from it when you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop the
engine immediately and call the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
