WARNING
Battery dangers
Always read the following
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and
all other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly
combustible gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children because
batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC ACID.
Do not allow battery acid to
contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
9-40
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get
immediate medical
attention. If electrolyte gets
on your skin, thoroughly
wash the contacted area. If
you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a
battery. Always provide
ventilation when working in
an enclosed space.
An inappropriately
disposed battery can be
harmful to the environment
and human health. Dispose
the battery according to
your local law(s) or
regulation.
The battery contains lead.
Do not dispose of it after
use. Please return the
battery to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer to be
recycled.
• When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak, resulting
in personal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
• Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery cables are
connected.
• The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage. Never touch these
components with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
Failure to follow the above warnings
can result in serious bodily injury or
death.
