Connect cables in forward numbering sequence, and disconnect in reverse order.
Starting the engine from an external source
This way of starting the engine can be dangerous if it is done incorrectly. Therefore, when starting the engine from an external source, do not harm yourself, the car and the battery, do it as follows. When in doubt, we strongly recommend entrusting these operations to an experienced specialist or towing service.
Attention. Use only 12 volt external power system. If you apply 24 volt power (two 12-volt batteries connected in series, or a 24-volt motor-generator set) on the 12-volt starter, ignition system and other parts of electrical equipment, this may cause irreparable damage to them.
Attention. Accumulator battery. Never attempt to check the electrolyte level in a battery as this could cause the battery to rupture or explode, causing serious injury.
Attention. Accumulator battery. Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery. It releases hydrogen gas that can explode in their presence. Follow these instructions exactly to avoid serious injury and damage to your vehicle! If you are not sure how to perform this operation correctly, seek qualified assistance. Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid. It is poisonous and corrosive. When starting the engine from an external source, wear safety goggles and make sure that acid does not come into contact with skin, clothes or car.
Do not attempt to jump start the engine in cases of freezing or low electrolyte levels in a discharged battery - it may rupture or explode.
Engine start procedure
1. Make sure the external battery voltage is 12V and ground its negative terminal.
2. If the external battery is on another vehicle, do not allow them to touch.
3. Disconnect all electrical loads not currently needed.
4. Connect the cables to start the engine from an external source (connection cables) in exactly the same order as shown in the figure. First connect one end of the connecting cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery (1), then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the external battery (2). Then connect one end of the other connecting cable to the negative terminal of the external battery (3), and its other end - to a solid fixed metal part (e.g. engine lift bracket), located away from it (4). Do not connect it to parts that will start moving after the crankshaft starts to crank, or near such parts. Do not touch the ends of the connecting cables to anything other than the corresponding battery terminals and ground points. When connecting the cables, do not lean over the battery.
Attention. Battery cables. Do not connect the negative terminals of a discharged battery and an external battery. This can lead to overheating and cracking of a discharged battery, accompanied by the release of acid.
5. Run the engine on the external battery and run it at 2,000 rpm, then start the engine on the dead battery.
If the cause of your battery discharge is not clear, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
Starting the engine by towing
Do not start the engine by pushing your vehicle equipped with a manual transmission as this may damage the emission control system. This way you can not start the engines of cars with automatic transmission. Follow the instructions in this section for jump starting the engine.
Attention. Never tow the vehicle to start its engine, as it may collide with the towing vehicle as a result of a sudden forward thrust after starting.
