the exact sequence shown in the

9. Operate your vehicle for at least
30 minutes of driving or at least
60 minutes of engine running at

your nearest dealer to request the
battery be charged and tested.

assistance. If the cause of your battery
discharging is not apparent, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
