Warning: If the engine does not start, do not attempt to start it by towing the vehicle. This may result in an accident or other damage. Furthermore, starting the engine by towing may overload the catalytic converter and cause a fire.
If the engine does not turn over with the starter or turns over very slowly
1. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, move the selector to position "P" or "N" and apply the emergency brake.
2. Check the battery terminal connections to ensure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light glows dimly or goes out when the starter is turned on, the battery is discharged.
4. Check the tightness of the starter wire connections.
5. Do not tow the engine. See the emergency engine starting instructions on the following pages.

4. If the engine still does not start, call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or seek other qualified assistance.
If the engine stalls while driving
