your emergency hazard flashers, set
the parking brake and put the transaxle

gency brake is set.

tion, coil and spark plugs. Reconnect
any that may be disconnected or
loose.

partment.

authorized HYUNDAI dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

WARNING

If the engine will not start, do not
push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could result in a collision or
cause other damage. In addition,
push or pull starting may cause the
catalytic converter to be over-
loaded and create a fire hazard.
