Specifications, Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying HYUNDAI
MOTOR AMERICA.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888- 327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153);
go to http://www.safercar.gov;
download the SaferCar mobile application;
or write to: Administrator, NHTSA
1200 New Jersey Ave, SE,
West Building Washington, D.C. 20590.
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual prob-
lems between you, your dealer, or HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA.

The HYUNDAI Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the gasoline engine and the electric motor for power. The elec-
tric motor is run by a high-voltage HEV battery.
Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and the electric motor
or even both at the same time.
Fuel efficiency increases when the engine is off at idle, or when the vehicle is driven by the electric motor with the HEV
battery.
The HEV battery charge must be maintained, so at times the engine will come on even at idle to act as a generator.
Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative braking.

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle
The HYUNDAI Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid elec-
tric vehicle and an all-electric vehicle.
When used as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and
the electric motor or even both at the same time.
When it is operating in the electric vehicle mode, the vehicle is driven only using the electric motor over a certain dis-
tance until the hybrid battery becomes low. The driving distance in EV mode depends on customer driving style and
road conditions. Aggressive driving maneuvers may at times temporarily enable the engine to operate for maximum
power.
The hybrid battery can be fully charged by connecting a plug to an external electric power source.

Charging Information
•AC Charge :
The plug-in hybrid vehicle is
charged by plugging into a AC
charger installed in your home or a
public charging station. (For further
details, refer to the 'AC Charge'.)Trickle Charge :
The plug-in hybrid vehicle can be
charged by using household elec-
tricity. The electrical outlet in your
home must comply with regulations
and can safely accommodate the
Voltage / Current (Amps) / Power
(Watts) ratings specified on the
portable charge.
Charging Time Information
AC Charge :
Takes approximately 2 hours 15
minutes at room temperature. (Can
be charged to 100%.)
• Trickle Charge :
For charging at home. Please note
that Trickle Charger is slower than
the AC Charger.

Charging Connector
AUTO / LOCK Mode
[A]: LOCK mode
[B]: AUTO mode
You may select when the charging
connector can be locked and
unlocked in the charging inlet.
Press the button to change
between AUTO mode and LOCK
mode.
When the Charging Connector
is Locked
LOCK mode (button indicator off) :
The connector locks when the
charging connector is plugged into
the charging inlet. The connector is
locked until all doors are unlocked
by the driver. This mode can be
used to prevent charging cable
theft.
- If the charging connector is
unlocked when all doors are
unlocked, but the charging cable
is not disconnected within 15 sec-
onds, the connector will be auto-
matically locked again.
- If the charging connector is
unlocked when all doors are
unlocked, but all doors are locked
again, immediately, the connector
will be automatically locked again. AUTO mode (button indicator on) :
The connector locks when charg-
ing starts. The connector unlocks
when charging is complete. This
mode can be used when charging
in a public charging station.

Scheduled Charging
(if equipped)
You can set-up a charging sched-
ule for your vehicle using the info-
tainment system or BlueLink appli-
cation.
Refer to the infotainment system
manual or the BlueLink manual for
detailed information about setting
scheduled charging.
Scheduled charging can only be
done when using a AC charger or
the portable charger (ICCB: In-
Cable Control Box). When scheduled charging is set
and the AC charger or the portable
charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control
Box) is connected for charging, the
indicator lamp in the middle blinks
(for 3 minutes) to indicate that
scheduled charging is set.
When scheduled charging is set,
charging is not initiated immediate-
ly when the AC charger or portable
charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control
Box) is connected. When immedi-
ate charging is required, use the
infotainment system to deactivate
the scheduled charge setting or
press scheduled charging deacti-
vation ( ) button. If you press the scheduled charg-
ing deactivation ( ) button to
immediately charge the battery,
charging must be initiated 3 min-
utes after the charging cable has
been connected.
When you press the scheduled
charging deactivation ( ) button for
immediate charging, the scheduled
charge setting is not completely
deactivated. If you need to com-
pletely deactivate the scheduled
charge setting, use the infotainment
system to finalize the deactivation.
Refer to "AC Charge or Trickle
Charge" for details about connecting
the AC charger and the portable
charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box).

Charging Precautions
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.Electromagnetic waves that
are generated from the charg-
er can seriously impact med-
ical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pace-
maker.
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure
to ask the medical team and
manufacturer whether charg-
ing your electric vehicle will
impact the operation of the
medical electric devices such
as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker.
Check to make sure there is
no water or dust on the charg-
ing cable connector and plug
before connecting to the
charger and charging inlet.
Connecting while there is
water or dust on the charging
cable connector and plug may
cause a fire or electric shock.
WARNING
Be careful not to touch the
charging connector, charging
plug, and the charging inlet
when connecting the cable to
the charger and the charging
inlet on the vehicle.
Comply with the following in
order to prevent electrical
shock when charging:
- Use a waterproof charger.
- Be careful when touching
the charging connector and
charging plug with your
hands wet, or when standing
in water or snow while con-
necting the charging cable.
- Be careful when there is
lightning.
- Be careful when the charg-
ing connector and plug is
wet.

AC Charge
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.
Immediately stop charging
when you find abnormal
symptoms (odor, smoke).
Replace the charging cable if
the cable coating is damaged
to prevent electrical shock.
When connecting or removing
the charging cable, make sure
to hold the charging connec-
tor handle and charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself
(without using the handle), the
internal wires may disconnect
or get damaged. This may lead
to electric shock or fire.
WARNING
Always keep the charging con-
nector and charging plug in
clean and dry condition. Be
sure to keep the charging
cable in a condition where
there is no water or moisture.
Make sure to use the designat-
ed charger for charging the
electric vehicle. Using any
other charger may cause fail-
ure.
Before charging the battery,
turn the vehicle OFF.
When the vehicle is switched
OFF while charging, the cool-
ing fan inside the motor com-
partment may automatically
operate. Do not touch the cool-
ing fan while charging.
Be careful not to drop the
charging connector. The
charging connector can be
damaged.
