Service plug
OFEQ018011The FCEV system contains
many electronic components.
High voltage components like
cables and other parts may emit
electromagnetic waves. Even if
the electromagnetic cover
blocks electromagnetic emis-
sions, electromagnetic waves
may have an effect on electron-
ic appliances. If you park the
vehicle for a long time, the high
voltage battery or 12V battery
will discharge. You need to drive
the vehicle several times per
month. We recommend driving
at least 10 minutes or 3 km (2
miles) when you drive the vehi-
cle.
If the high voltage battery is dis-
charged and if it is impossible
to jump start the vehicle contact
your HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
When you start the FCEV sys-
tem in the "P" or "N" gear
position, the "Ready ( )"indicator is illuminated in the
cluster. The driver can drive
the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn off the sys-tem or shift into the "P" posi-
tion. If you depress the accel-
erator pedal by mistake and
the vehicle is not in the "P"
position, the vehicle will move
abruptly. This may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never touch the service plug under the rear seat.
The service plug is attached to
the high voltage battery system.
Touching the service plug will
result in death or serious injury.
Service personnel should fol-
low procedures in service man-ual.

7. Depress and hold the brake pedal while pressing the POWER but- ton. 8. When the " " indicator is ON,
you can drive the vehicle.
When the " " indicator is OFF, you cannot drive the vehicle. Start
the vehicle again.
9. Depress and hold the brake pedal and shift to the desired position. Information
While the charging cable is connected,
the gear cannot be shift from P (Park)
to any other gear for safety reasons.
10. Release the parking brake and slowly release the brake pedal.

How to Stop the Vehicle
1. Hold down the brake pedal whilethe vehicle is parked.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, shift to P (Park).
3. While depressing the brake pedal, engage the parking brake.
4. While depressing the brake pedal, press the Power button and turn
off the vehicle.
5. Check if the " " indicator is turned OFF on the instrument
cluster.
When the " " indicator is ON and the gear is in a position other
than P (Park), the driver can acci-
dently depress the accelerator
pedal, causing the vehicle to move
unexpectedly.
Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear vehicle sound becausethere is no sound while the FCEV
vehicle is operating.
• If the vehicle is in the ready ( ) mode and the gear is not in P
(Park),
When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), an additional warningsound will be heard.
•The vehicle is much quieter
while driving than a conven-
tional gasoline-powered vehi-
cle. Be aware of your sur-
roundings and always drive
safely.
After you park the vehicle or
while you are waiting at a traf-
fic light, check whether there
are children or obstacles
around the vehicle.
Check if there is something
behind the vehicle when driv-
ing in reverse. Pedestrians
may not hear the sound of the
vehicle.
CAUTION

H12
Fuel filler door
Opening the fuel filler door
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Push the fuel filler door openerbutton. The fuel filler door does not
open if the vehicle is not off.
The fuel filler door may open after several seconds from turn-
ing off the vehicle. However, in
cold weather, the fuel door may
not open for about 45 seconds
until the cluster message
"Powering down..." disappears.
This is for protecting the fuelcell system. 3. Pull the fuel filler door (1) out to
fully open.
4. Pull the fuel filler cap (2).
5. Place the cap on the fuel filler door.

Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break
the ice and release the door. Do not
pry on the door. If necessary, spray
around the door with an approved de-
icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-
freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm
place and allow the ice to melt.Closing the fuel filler door
1. Cover the fuel filler with the cap.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.i
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use parts for
replacement from an author-
ized Hyundai dealer. An incor-rect fuel filler cap can result ina serious malfunction of the
fuel system. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for replacement.
If the fuel filler door is not
completely closed, the vehicle
is not turned on. Close thefuel filler door and turn on the
vehicle.
WARNING
According to the hydrogen fueling station condition the
hydrogen may not be filled
fully and the driving distance
may change accordingly. The
hydrogen may not be charged
fully if the fueling station doesnot satisfy the fueling method
specified in the fueling. stan-
dard (SAE J2601) or if the
hydrogen is not enough in the
station, the fueling facility
has failure, etc.
Depending on the remaining
hydrogen in the vehicle and
ambient temperature, the time
required for fueling may vary.
More time may be required for
fueling if the remaining hydro-
gen level is low and the
weather is hot. Also, required
time may be longer if the
hydrogen cooling tempera-ture of the fueling station ishigh.
The distance to empty may
vary depending on the driving
environment (weather, traffic,etc.) and driving method
(rapid acceleration, heating
and air conditioning, etc.).WARNING

H14
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing since you can generate
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of produc-
ing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle or other gasoline source.
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut
the power off. Once refueling
is complete, check to makesure the fuel filler cap and fuel
filler door are securely closed,
before starting the vehicle.
DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station
especially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
FFEE AA TTUU RREESS OO FF FF CC EE VV (( CC OO NNTT..))
Refueling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling,
please note the following guide-
lines carefully. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
severe personal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explo-sion.
Read and follow all warning posted at the gas station facil-
ity.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
