Checking the warning lights
Check the cause of the warning lights referring to the table below and take appropriate 
measures.
Warning LightCauseMeasure
Service warning light This warning light illuminates:
• When there is a problem with 
related parts of the electric 
vehicle control system, such 
as sensors, etc.
• When an actuator, electric  compressor for air 
conditioning, etc. 
malfunctions. In a normal condition, it 
illuminates for about 3 seconds 
when the Start/Stop button is in 
the ON position and then goes 
off.
• When the warning light 
illuminates while driving, or 
does not go off after starting 
the vehicle, have your vehicle 
inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
Power down indicator  light This warning light illuminates:
• When the high voltage 
battery level is too low or 
voltage is decreasing. 
(Output limit occurs when the 
charge level is insufficient.)
• When the temperature of the  high voltage battery is too 
high or too low.
• When the driving system  temperature is overheated 
and requires protection. If it illuminates alone, it is not 
failure.
• If both Power down indicator 
light and Service warning 
light illuminate at the same 
time, have the vehicle 
inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
• When the indicator is  illuminating, immediately 
charge the vehicle. The 
driving speed may be limited 
and the vehicle may not 
properly drive uphill.
High voltage battery  level warning light This warning light illuminates 
when the high voltage battery 
level is low. Immediately charge the 
vehicle. The vehicle can drive 
an additional 18-31 mi. (30-50 
km).
• The actual distance to empty 
depends on the driving 
conditions.
Regenerative brake  warning light This warning light illuminates 
when the regenerative brake 
does not operate and the brake 
does not perform well due to 
the malfunction of the brake 
system. Drive safely and have your 
vehicle inspected by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• The operation of the brake 
pedal may feel deeper than 
normal or the braking 
distance may increase.

B3003405
Front airbags are not designed to inflate 
in rear collisions, because occupants are 
moved backward by the force of the 
impact. In this case, inflated airbags 
would not provide any additional benefit.
B3003406
Front airbags may not inflate in side 
impact collisions, because occupants 
move in the direction of the collision, and 
thus in side impacts, front airbag 
deployment would not provide additional 
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain airbags may 
inflate depending on the severity of 
impact.
B3003407
In an angled collision, the force of impact 
may direct the occupants in a direction 
where the airbags would not be able to 
provide any additional benefit, and thus 
the sensors may not deploy any airbags.
B3003408
Just before impact, drivers often brake 
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the 
front portion of the vehicle causing it to 
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher 
ground clearance. Airbags may not inflate 
in this “underride” situation because 
deceleration forces that are detected by 
sensors may be significantly reduced by 
such “underride” collisions.

Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
WL_TPMSWarningLamp
This warning light illuminates:
• When the Start/Stop button is in the ON position. The low tire pressure warning 
light illuminates for about 3 seconds 
and then goes off.
• When one or more tires are significantly  underinflated. (The location of the 
underinflated tire appears on the 
instrument cluster.)
For more information, refer to the “Tire 
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” 
section in chapter 8.
This warning light remains ON after 
blinking for about 60 seconds, or 
repeatedly blinks ON and OFF in 3 second 
intervals:
When there is a malfunction with the 
TPMS.
If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon 
as possible.
For more information, refer to the “Tire 
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” 
section in chapter 8.
WARNING • The TPMS cannot alert you to severe  and sudden tire damage caused by 
external factors.
• If you notice any vehicle instability,  immediately take your foot off the 
accelerator pedal, apply the brakes 
gradually with light force, and slowly 
move to a safe position off the road.

To adjust the regenerative braking level of 
the smart regeneration system, go to 
Setup > EV  > Smart Regeneration 
System  from the infotainment system.
Pausing Smart Regeneration 
System
The smart regeneration system is 
temporarily turned off in the following 
conditions. While the system is turned off, 
the driver must keep eyes on the road and 
depress the brake pedal to decelerate.
• The gear is shifted to N (Neutral), R 
(Reverse) or P (Park)
• Smart Cruise Control is ON
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is  operating
• ABS is operating
Front Sensors
B6003001(1) Front radar
(2) Front corner radar
Front sensors recognize the distance 
from the vehicle ahead to control the 
regenerative braking intensity. If the 
sensor is covered with snow, rain, or other 
foreign substances, the performance of 
the sensors may deteriorate, and the 
smart regeneration system may turn off. 
Always keep the sensors clean.
System Check Message
B6003101
When the front radar is covered or 
blocked, the smart regeneration system 
may be temporarily disabled. The  'Check 
Smart Regeneration System'  warning 
message may appear, and the 
regenerative braking level is displayed on 
the instrument cluster.
The system operates normally when such 
foreign material is removed, and the 
system is turned on by pulling and

holding the right paddle shifter ( ) for 
over one second.
If the smart regeneration system does not 
operate normally after the sensor has 
been uncovered or unblocked, have the 
vehicle inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
Smart Regeneration System 
Precautions
• Always monitor the distance to vehicles ahead on the road. The smart 
regeneration system is not a substitute 
for safe driving practices, but a 
supplemental function only.
• Always maintain a safe distance from  the vehicles ahead and adjust your 
vehicle speed to the road conditions. 
The smart regeneration system may not 
recognize unexpected and sudden 
situations or complex driving 
situations.
General precautions
• Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and adjust your 
vehicle speed depending on the road 
conditions.
• Always prepare for unexpected  situations and depress the brake pedal 
to decelerate when necessary. The 
smart regeneration system cannot 
react to pedestrians, vehicles making a 
sudden stop and vehicles coming from 
the opposite lane.
• If the vehicle ahead frequently changes  the lane, keep your eyes forward to be 
prepared for hazardous situations. In 
this case, the smart regeneration 
system may respond late and may 
inappropriately respond to vehicle 
movements from the side lanes.
• The driver must depress the brake  pedal when stopping the vehicle.
• Depress the brake pedal to decelerate  in the following conditions when: - The front part of the vehicle is lifted 
up because of the cargo loaded on 
the rear part of the vehicle.
- You are operating the steering wheel.
- You are not driving in the center of  the lane.
- You are driving on a narrow or curved  road.
• The smart regeneration system may be  temporarily turn off when exposed to 
strong electromagnetic waves.
• If the vehicle starts coasting near the  speed camera and engages the brake 
with the smart regeneration system, 
the vehicle may not be able to keep the 
speed limit. Always comply with the 
road and traffic law.
Sensor precautions
• Never disassemble the radar or radar assembly, and never apply any impact 
on it.
• If there is impact on or near the radar,  the sensors may be damaged or not be 
properly aligned near the radar, even 
though a warning message does not 
appear on the instrument cluster, the 
Smart Regeneration System may not 
operate properly. Have the vehicle 
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
• If the radars have been replaced or  repaired, have the vehicle inspected by 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair the  bumper where the radar is located.
• Do not install a license plate frame or  other objects such as bumper sticker, 
film, bumper guard, or bumper wrap 
near the radar.
• The Smart Regeneration System may  not work properly if the bumper has 
been replaced, or the surroundings of 
the radar has been damaged or 
painted.

Driving on hills
B6003204
When coasting uphill or downhill, the 
front sensors may not detect the vehicle 
ahead or suddenly detect the vehicle 
ahead at the end of the incline or at the 
point where the incline changes. The 
regenerative braking intensity is adjusted 
automatically changing your vehicle 
speed. Brake as needed to reduce your 
driving speed.
Changing lanes
B6003205
• When a vehicle moves into your lane from an adjacent lane, it cannot be 
detected by the sensors until it is in the 
sensor's detection range.
• The smart regeneration system may not  immediately detect the vehicle when 
your vehicle changes lanes abruptly.
Braking System
Power-Assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes 
that adjust automatically through normal 
usage.
In the event of a vehicle power failure, the 
power assist for the brakes will not work. 
You can still stop your vehicle, but it will 
require greater force and increased pedal 
travel than normal. The stopping 
distance, however, will be longer than 
with power brakes.
Information • When the brake pedal is depressed under certain driving conditions or weather 
conditions, you may temporarily hear a 
noise. This is normal and does not indicate 
a problem with your brakes.
• While driving on a road with deicing  chemicals, brake noise or abnormal tire 
wear may occur due to deicing chemicals. 
In a safe traffic condition, additionally 
apply the brakes to remove deicing 
chemicals on the brake discs and pads.
 
WARNING Take the following precautions:
• Do not drive with your foot resting on  the brake pedal. This will create 
abnormal high brake temperatures, 
excessive brake lining and pad wear, 
and increased stopping distances. So 
increase the regeneration braking level 
with the left paddle shifter to decrease 
the speed.
• When descending down a long or steep  hill, use the paddle shifter to increase 
the regeneration braking level in order 
to decrease your speed without using 
the brake pedal excessively. Applying 
the brakes continuously will cause the

roads adversely affecting the 
performance of the sensors. This may 
result in no warning, braking assist or 
steering assist (if equipped) when 
necessary.
When driving on a curve, you must 
maintain a safe braking distance, and if 
necessary, steer the vehicle and 
depress the brake pedal to reduce your 
driving speed in order to maintain a 
safe distance.
