If the Engine Doesn't Turn
Over or Turns Over Slowly
• Be sure the shift lever is in N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or
P (Park).
• Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate the
starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehi-
cle. See instructions for "Jump Starting"
provided in this chapter.
If the Engine Turns Over
Normally but Doesn't Start
Check the fuel level and add fuel if nec-
essary.
If the engine still does not start, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting pro-
cedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or tow-
ing service do it for you.
