Battery Warning Label Description
Warning Label (continued) A.
Keep lit cigarettes and any other flames or sparks away from the battery.
B.
Wear eye protection when charging the battery or working near it. Always provide ventilation when working in an enclosed area.
  • When lifting a plastic-case battery, excessive pressure on the battery may cause acid leakage, which may result in personal injury. Use a battery lifter or hold the battery at opposite corners by hand.
  • Never attempt to replace the battery while the battery cables are connected.
  • The electrical ignition system operates at high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switch ON.

C.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to contact skin, eyes, clothing, or paint.
D.
If electrolyte gets into the eyes, flush eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue flushing with water using a sponge or cloth until medical help is provided.
If electrolyte contacts the skin, thoroughly wash the contact area. If you feel pain or burning, seek medical attention immediately.

E. Always read the following instructions carefully when working with the battery.


E.
Hydrogen, which is a flammable gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited.
F.
An improperly disposed of battery can harm the environment and human health.
Always check local regulations for battery disposal.
Battery Handling and Storage
Battery Itself
  • Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place (27 °C) protected from direct sunlight.
  • MF batteries are tightly sealed to prevent acid leakage. However, tilting the battery at a 45-degree angle may cause acid to leak through the side vent holes. Therefore, always store batteries in an upright position. Do not place any water or solid (i.e., conductive) objects on top of the battery.
  • It is extremely dangerous to use tools such as hammers on battery terminals when connecting cables to an installed battery.
Battery in the Vehicle
  • When storing the vehicle for a long period, be sure to remove the memory fuse in the fuse box to prevent natural discharge.
  • Also, start the engine to recharge the battery for 1 month if the memory fuse was not removed from the start of vehicle storage. If the memory fuse was removed, start the engine to recharge the battery for 3 months from the time the vehicle was placed in storage.

After reconnecting or recharging a discharged battery, the ESC OFF indicator may illuminate. In this case, turn the steering wheel halfway to the left and right while the ignition switch is in the ON position. Then restart the engine after turning off the ignition. The ESC OFF indicator may go off. If the ESC OFF indicator does not go off, inspect the system for DTCs. (Refer to Group BR.)
Jack and Support Points
When removing heavy rear components such as the suspension, fuel tank, spare tire, tailgate, and trunk lid, place additional weight in the luggage compartment before lifting. When the substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity may shift and the vehicle may tip over on the lift.
  • Since each tire/wheel assembly weighs approximately 30 lbs (14 kg), placing the front wheels in the luggage compartment can help balance the weight distribution.
  • Use the same support points when supporting the vehicle on safety stands.
  1. Position the lift pads under the support points as shown in the illustration.
  2. Raise the lift a few inches (centimeters) and rock the vehicle to make sure it is securely supported.
  3. Raise the lift to full height to check the lifting points for secure support.
Towing If the vehicle must be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow the vehicle using only a rope or chain. This is very dangerous. Emergency Towing There are three common methods of towing a vehicle:
  • The operator loads the vehicle onto the truck bed. This is the best method for transporting the vehicle.
  • The tow truck uses two swivel arms that pass under the drive axle wheels and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground.
  • The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks wrap around frame or suspension components, and the cables lift one end of the vehicle off the ground. Suspension and body may be severely damaged if the vehicle is towed this way.
If the vehicle cannot be transported on a platform, it should be towed with the drive wheels raised off the ground, and perform the following: manual transaxle
  • Release the parking brake.
  • Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position.
Automatic Transmission
  • Release the parking brake.
  • Start the engine.
  • Shift from [D] to [N].
  • Turn the engine off.
  • Vehicles equipped with full-time 4WD must be transported only on a flatbed.
  • Improper towing preparation may cause transmission damage. Follow the procedure described above exactly. If you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine (automatic transmission), the vehicle must be transported on a flatbed.
  • It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 30 km (19 miles), and keep the speed below 50 km/h. (For a standard 4WD vehicle, limit towing to 1.5 km (1 mile) and 15 km/h.)
  • Attempting to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers may cause serious damage. Bumpers are not designed to support the weight of the vehicle.

General Service Information Vehicle Protection Always cover fenders, seats and floor before starting work.
Always insert the hood support rod into the hole near the edge of the hood whenever you inspect the engine compartment, to prevent the hood from falling and causing possible injury. Make sure the hood support rod is released before closing the hood. Always check that the hood is securely latched before driving the vehicle.
Preparation of Tools and Measuring Equipment Make sure all necessary tools and measuring equipment are available before starting work. Special Service Tools Use special service tools when required.
Parts Removal Always first identify the cause of the problem, then determine whether removal or disassembly is required before starting work.
Disassembly If the disassembly procedure is complex and requires removing many parts, all parts must be disassembled in a way that does not affect their function or appearance.
  1. Inspection of Parts: Every part removed must be carefully inspected for malfunction, deformation, damage, and other problems.
  2. Arrangement of Parts: All disassembled parts must be neatly arranged for efficient reassembly. Be sure to separate and properly identify parts to be replaced from those to be reused.
  3. Cleaning of Parts for Reuse: All parts to be reused must be thoroughly cleaned using an appropriate method.

  5. Gaskets
  6. O-rings
  7. Lock Washers
  8. Cotter Pins
  9. Plastic Nuts
    Depending on their location.
  10. Apply sealant to gaskets.
  11. Apply oil to the moving parts.
  12. Before assembly, apply specified oil or grease to the designated locations (oil seals, etc.).
  13. Be sure to disconnect the battery cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
  14. Never pull on the wires when disconnecting connectors.
  15. Locking connectors will click when securely connected.
  16. Handle sensors and relays carefully. Be careful not to drop them onto other parts.
  17. In general, all measurements in this manual are made with a caliper.
  18. When using a measuring tape, make sure it does not stretch, twist, or bend.
  19. Both projected and actual dimensions are used for measurements in this manual.
  20. These are dimensions measured when the measuring points are projected from the vehicle surface, and serve as reference dimensions for body repair.
  21. If the length of the tracking sensor rods is adjustable, measure it by extending one of the two probes until the height values of the two surfaces are the same.
  22. These dimensions indicate the actual linear distance between measuring points and are used as reference dimensions when a gauge is used for measurement.
  23. First adjust both probes to the same length (A=A') before measuring.
    Check the probes and gauge to make sure there is no free play.
  24. Check the terminal for tightness.
  25. Check terminals and wires for corrosion from battery electrolyte, etc.
  26. Check terminals and wires for open circuits.
  27. Check wire insulation and coating for damage, cracks, and wear.
  28. Check the conductive parts of the terminals for contact with other metal parts (vehicle body and other components).
  29. Check the grounded parts to make sure there is full continuity between their mounting bolt(s) and the vehicle body.
  30. Check for correct connections.
  31. Make sure the wiring is secured so it does not contact sharp edges of the vehicle body, etc., or hot parts (exhaust manifold, etc.).
  32. Make sure wiring is secured with sufficient clearance from the fan pulley, fan belt, and other rotating or moving parts.
  33. Make sure the wiring has enough slack so that it can absorb vibration between stationary and moving parts, such as the vehicle body and engine.
  34. Before servicing the electrical system, be sure to turn the ignition off and disconnect the battery ground cable.
    When diagnosing the MFI or ELC system, disconnecting the battery cable will erase any stored diagnostic trouble codes from the computer memory. Therefore, record diagnostic data before disconnecting the battery cable if necessary.
  35. Secure the wiring harness with clamps so that there is no slack. However, for any harness that runs near the engine or other vibrating parts of the vehicle, allow some slack within a range that prevents engine vibration from causing the harness to contact any of the surrounding parts, then secure the harness with a tie or clamp.
  36. If any section of the wiring harness interferes with the edge of a part or a corner, wrap the section of the harness with tape or similar material to protect it from damage.
  37. When installing any parts, take care not to pinch or damage the wiring harness.
  38. Never drop relays, sensors, or electrical parts, or subject them to strong impact.
  39. Electronic parts used in the computer, relays, etc. are easily damaged by heat. If there is a need for service operations that may cause the temperature to exceed 80 °C, remove the electronic parts before proceeding.
  40. Loose connectors cause problems. Make sure that connectors are always securely fastened.
  41. When disconnecting a connector, hold only the connector, not the wires.
  42. Disconnect the connector with locks by pressing in the direction indicated by the arrows in the illustration.
  43. To connect locking connectors, insert the connectors until they click.
  44. When using a circuit tester to check continuity or voltage at a connector, insert the test probe from the wiring harness side. If the connector is a sealed connector, insert the test probe through the hole in the rubber cap until it contacts the terminal, taking care not to damage the wire insulation.
  45. To avoid overloading the wiring, take into account the current load of the additional equipment and determine the appropriate wire size.

Parts When replacing parts, use genuine HYUNDAI parts. Replacement Standard values, such as torque values and specified adjustments, must be strictly observed when reassembling all parts. After removal, the following parts should always be replaced with new ones. Adjustment Use gauges and testers to properly adjust parts to standard values. Electrical System Rubber Parts and Hoses Always avoid contact of gasoline with rubber parts or hoses. Body Dimension Measurement Body Dimensions Actual Dimension Measurement Measurement Point Measurements should be taken at the center of the hole. Inspection of Cables and Wires Inspect Fuses Blade-type fuse test taps are provided to check the fuse itself without removing it from the fuse block. The fuse is good if the test lamp lights when connected to the test taps of one terminal (one at a time) and the other lead is grounded. (Turn the ignition key so that the fuse circuit is energized) Electrical System Service Precautions for Catalytic Converter
If a large amount of unburned gasoline enters the catalytic converter, it may overheat and create a risk of fire. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
  1. Use only unleaded gasoline.
  2. Do not run the engine when the vehicle has been stationary for a long time. Avoid running the engine at high idle speed for more than 10 minutes or at idle for more than 20 minutes.
  3. Do not measure engine compression for a long period of time. Engine compression test must be performed as quickly as possible. Remove the fuel pump relay before performing the compression test.
  4. Do not dispose of a used catalytic converter together with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
