dures, “ ” indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn on.
For more information, please checkChapter 5. ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA- TION of Hybrid system
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Do not
make "jack-rabbit" starts. Do not
race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear out.
The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle deceler-
ates.
When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine run with the shift lever in N (Neutral), the hybrid sys-
tem cannot generate electricity. The
hybrid battery cannot recharge with
the shift lever in N (Neutral).

H8Information
In the hybrid system, the engine auto-
matically runs and stops. When the
hybrid system operates, the " "
indicator is illuminated.
In the following situation, the engine
may operate automatically.
- When the engine is ready to run
- When the hybrid battery is being charged
- Depending on the temperature con- dition of the hybrid battery
Special features of hybrid
vehicle
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may
hear a sound from the hybrid battery
system behind the rear seat. If you
apply the accelerator pedal rapidly,
you may hear an unconventional
sound. When you apply the brake
pedal, you may hear a sound from
the regenerative brake system.
When the hybrid system is turned off
or on, you may hear a sound in the
engine compartment. If you depress
the brake pedal repeatedly when the
hybrid system is turned on, you may
hear a sound in the engine compart-
ment. None of these sounds indicate
a problem. These are normal charac-
teristics of hybrid vehicles. If any of following occur, it's a normal
condition if you hear a motor sound
in the engine compartment:
- After turning off the hybrid system,
the brake pedal is released.
- When the hybrid system is turned off, the brake pedal is applied.
- When the driver door is opened.
When the hybrid system is turned
ON, the engine may run or may not.
In this situation, you may feel a vibra-
tion. This does not indicate a mal-
function. When the “ ” indicator
illuminates, the hybrid system is ready
to start. Even if the engine is off, you
can operate the vehicle as long as the
“ ” indicator is illuminated.

H9
The hybrid system contains many
electronic components. High volt-
age components, such as cables
and other parts, may emit electro-
magnetic waves. Even when the
electromagnetic cover blocks elec-
tromagnetic emissions, electro-
magnetic waves may have an effect
on electronic appliances. When
your vehicle is not for a long period
of time, the hybrid system will dis-
charge. You need to drive the vehi-
cle several times a month. We rec-
ommend driving at least for 1 hour
or 16 km. When the hybrid battery is
discharged, or when it is impossi-
ble to jump start the vehicle, con-
tact your HYUNDAI dealer.
Virtual Engine Sound System(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear vehicle sound becausethere is limited sound while motor
power is used.
What Does RegenerativeBraking Do?
It uses an electric motor when decel-
erating and braking and transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in
order to charge the high voltage bat-
tery.
Battery
The vehicle is composed of a high- voltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode.
NOTICE
When you start the hybrid
system with the shift lever in
P (Parking), the “ ” indica-tor illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster. The driver can
drive the vehicle, even whenthe engine is stopped.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn OFF the
hybrid system or locate the
shift lever in P (Park). When
you depress the accelerator
pedal by mistake, or when the
shift lever is not in P (Park),
the vehicle will abruptly move,
possibly resulting in serious
injury or death.
