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.

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.

High voltage battery system * 2Never touch orange colored or
high voltage labeled compo-
nents, including wires, cables,
and connections. When the insu-
lators or covers are damaged or
removed, severe injury or death
from electrocution may occur.
WARNING
While replacing the fuses in the
engine compartment, never
touch the HPCU. The HPCU car-
ries high voltage. Touching the
HPCU may result in electrocu-
tion, serious injury, or death.
WARNING
(Continued)
Never touch the hybrid system.
When you touch the hybrid bat-
tery system, serious injury or
death may occur.
In the hybrid system, the hybrid
battery uses high voltage tooperate the motor and other
components. This high voltage
hybrid battery system can be
very dangerous.
(Continued)
WARNING
Do not pile up any items in an
area behind the high voltage
battery. In a crash, the battery
may become unstable, or its
performance may degrade.
Do not apply strong force nor
pile up any items above the
trunk. Such an attempt may
distort the high voltage battery
case, causing a safety problem
or degrading the performance.
Be careful when loading
inflammable liquid in trunk. Itcould cause operational and
safety degradation if the liq-
uid leaks and flows in high
voltage battery

Do not disassemble the high
voltage motor connector. The
high voltage motor connector
may contain residual high
voltage. Coming in contact
with high voltage may result
in death or serious injury.
Your vehicle's hybrid system
should only be inspected or
repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not disassemble or assem-
ble the high voltage battery
system. Doing so may result
in electric shock, causing
death or serious injury.
If you disassemble or assem-
ble hybrid system compo-
nents improperly, it may dam-
age the performance and reli-
ability of your vehicle.
If electrolyte comes in contact
with your body, clothes or
eyes, immediately flush with a
large quantity of fresh tap
water. Have your eyes exam-
ined by a doctor as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Never assemble or disassemble
the high voltage battery system.
If you assemble or disassem-
ble the high voltage battery
system, the durability and per-
formance of the vehicle may be
damaged.
When you want to check the
high voltage battery system,
have the vehicle checked and
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not touch the high voltage
battery and high voltage cable
connected to motor (orange
color). Severe burns and elec-
tric shock may occur. For your
safety, do not touch the cover
of electronic components and
electronic cable. Do not remove
the cover of electronic compo-
nents and electronic cable. In
particular, never touch the high
voltage battery system when
the hybrid system in operation.
It may result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING

When the vehicle is paint baked,do not bake over 30 minutes in
70°C (158°F) or 20 minutes in
80°C (176°F) degree.
Do not wash the engine compart- ment, using water. Water may
cause an electric shock to and
damage the electronic.
NOTICE
Never use the package mod-
ules (high voltage battery,
inverter and converter) for any
other purpose.
Do not use an unauthorized
battery charger to charge the
high voltage battery. Doing so
may result in death or serious
injury.
Never locate the high voltage
system near or in a fire.
Never drill into or strike the
package module. Otherwise, it
may be damaged. An electric
shock may occur, resulting in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
This hybrid vehicle uses the
hybrid battery system inverter
and converter to generate high
voltage. High voltage in the
hybrid battery system is very
dangerous and may cause
severe burns and electric
shock. This may result in seri-
ous injury or death.
For your safety, never touch,
replace, disassemble or remove
the hybrid battery system
including components, cables
and connectors. Severe burns
or electric shock may result in
serious injury or death when
you fail to follow this warning.
When the hybrid battery sys-
tem operates, the hybrid bat-
tery system can be hot. Always
be careful because burns or
electric shock may be caused
by high voltage.
