H20Air filter blocked. Check filter
or see owner's manual
This warning message is displayedwhen
- the snow may block the air cleaner filter after driving the vehicle in
heavy snow when the ambient
temperature is below 50°F (10°C)or
- the exhaust pipe may be frozen and clogged when the vehicle is
parked for a long time with the
vehicle ON below 50°F (10°C).
In this case, remove the snow fromthe inside of the air cleaner filter and
turn on and off the vehicle. If the
warning message is displayed again,
the exhaust pipe may be blocked.
Then, move your vehicle indoors and
leave it inside more than one day to
defrost the exhaust pipe.

When the high voltage battery is weak
When the high voltage battery is
weak due to driving on a hill for a
long time or accelerating and decel-
erating the vehicle repeatedly, the
acceleration performance may be
lower than usual. In this case, be
cautious not to overtake other vehi-
cles.
If the 12 volt battery is dis-
charged
This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the high voltage
battery. The vehicle has a 12V bat-
tery protection system that cuts 12V
battery from vehicle draw to prevent
full discharge.
If the 12V battery is discharged, you
should try charging it by pressing the
"12V BATT RESET" button.
Using the 12V battery resetswitch
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset switch to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 sec- onds of pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch.
3. After starting vehicle ( indica- tor on), move the vehicle outside
and keep the vehicle ready ( )
mode more than 30 minutes safe-
ly to charge the 12V battery.

If you do not start the vehicle imme-
diately after pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch, the power of 12V bat-
tery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V
battery from additional discharge. If
the 12V battery is disconnected prior
to starting the vehicle, press the 12V
Battery Reset switch again and then
immediately start the vehicle as
explained.
Repeated use of the 12V Battery
Reset switch without a sufficient ON
cycle (30 Min+) may cause over dis-
charge of the 12V battery, which will
prevent the vehicle from starting. If
the 12V battery is over discharged to
a point that the reset does not work,
try to jump-start the vehicle. Information
After starting the vehicle ( indica-
tor on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the accelerator pedal
is depressed or not. ❈
❈ For more details regarding the
jump start, refer to the 'Jump star-
ing' in Owner's manual Chapter 6.
Emergency while driving
If an accident occurs
1. Stop the vehicle, put the gear into
the P(Park) position, set the park-
ing brake, and turn the vehicle off
to prevent the hydrogen and cur-rent from leaking.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the current from being generated.
2. Evacuate to the safety place.
3. Call emergency services for help and let them know the vehicle is a
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle.

If a fire occurs
1. Stop the vehicle, put the gear intothe P (Park) position, set the park-
ing brake, and turn the vehicle off
to prevent the hydrogen and cur-rent from leaking.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the current from being generated.
2. If the fire is small, which can be extinguished with fire extinguisher,
use carbon dioxide extinguisher.
You can also extinguish the fire
with water when the vehicle power
is turned off. If the fire is too big to be extinguished
with the fire extinguisher, evacuate
from the vehicle, call the fire depart-
ment, and let them know the vehicle
is a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle. Do not
come close to the vehicle until the
fire is totally extinguished.
Emergency venting of hydrogen
gas
If the temperature near the safety
valve located at the rear under vehi-
cle is over 110°C caused by a fire or
other reasons, the safety valve will
open to vent hydrogen gas. Venting
the hydrogen gas makes a loud
noise because the venting speed is
very fast. Stay well away from the
vehicle. This jet stream of hydrogen
gas could ignite.
If a submersion in water occurs
If your vehicle was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you should not try to start
the vehicle by pressing the POWER
button.
Call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not use water to extinguish a
fire when the vehicle power is
turned on. Serious electric
shock may result.

If you have a flat tire while driv-
ing
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the medi-
an area between the two traffic
lanes.
2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put
the gear into the P(Park) position.
3. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
If the vehicle stalls while driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the vehicle again. If your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the vehicle stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad orcrossing, set the gear in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
Exhaust pipe
The FCEV is driven by electricity
which is generated when the oxygen
in the air and the hydrogen in the
vehicle is combined. The principle isthe opposite of the electrolysis of
water; the decomposition of water
making hydrogen and oxygen. The FCEV is emission-free and
water is created when the hydrogen
and oxygen reacts in the process of
making the electricity. Some water
may be discharged through the
exhaust pipe when the vehicle is
turned off after driving. This is normal
but be careful in winter as the puddle
made by the exhausted water may
freeze resulting in accident.
Also, take cautious as the exhausted
steam may reach the vehicle parked
in the back when you turn off the
vehicle in winter.
