Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain
plug, or dipstick before check-
ing or draining any lubricant.
This is especially important in
dusty or sandy areas and when
the vehicle is used on unpaved
roads. Cleaning the plug and
dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the
engine and other mechanisms
that could be damaged.

*1: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil
of a viscosity grade SAE 0W-20 (API SN (or above) or ACEA
C2). However, if the engine oil is not available in your country,
select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance,
however, higher viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication
in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in
engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.

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.

Starting the Vehicle
1. Carry the smart key or leave it
inside the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
firmly applied.
3. Place the shift lever in P (Park).
With the shift lever in N (Neutral),
you cannot start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop but-
ton. If the hybrid system starts, the
" " indicator will come on.
Whether the engine is cold or
warm, it should be started without
depressing the accelerator.
After following the start proce-
dures, " " indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn on.
For more information, please
check Chapter 5.ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA-
TION of Hybrid system
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Do not
make "jack-rabbit" starts. Do not
race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
The regenerative brake generates
energy when the vehicle deceler-
ates.
When the hybrid battery power is
low, the hybrid system automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine is running with
the shift lever in N (Neutral), the
hybrid system cannot generate
electricity. The hybrid battery can-
not recharge with the shift lever in N
(Neutral).
Information
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
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 gasoline engine may acti-
vate or may not. In this situation, you
may feel a vibration. This does not
indicate a malfunction. When the
" " indicator illuminates, the
hybrid system is ready to begin driv-
ing. 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 devices. When
your vehicle is not used for a long
period of time, the hybrid system
will discharge. You need to drive
the vehicle several times a month.
We recommend driving at least for
1 hour or 10 miles. When the
hybrid battery is discharged, or
when it is impossible to jump start
the vehicle, contact your HYUNDAI
dealer.

Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sounds for pedes-
trians to hear vehicle sound because
there is limited sound while electric
power is used.
What Does Regenerative
Braking Do?
It uses an electric motor when decel-
erating and when braking and trans-
forms kinetic energy to electrical
energy in order to charge the high
voltage battery.
Battery
Hybrid vehicle
- The vehicle is composed of a
high voltage battery that drives
the motor and air conditioner, and
an integrated 12V lithium ion
polymer battery with the HEV
battery that drives the lamps,
wipers, and audio system.
- The integrated 12V battery is
automatically charged when the
vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode.
Plug-in hybrid vehicle
- 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 system.
- The auxiliary battery is automati-
cally charged when the vehicle is
in the ready ( ) mode.
When you start the hybrid
system with the shift lever in
P (Park), the " " indicator
illuminates on the instrument
cluster. The driver can drive
the vehicle, even when the
gasoline engine is off.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn OFF the vehi-
cle and place the shift lever in
P (Park). If you depress the
accelerator pedal by mistake,
or when the shift lever is not in
P (Park), the vehicle will
abruptly move, possibly result-
ing in serious injury or death.

Shows that the energy made by
the vehicle is being converted
to electrical energy. (Regenerated
energy)
ECO :
Shows that the vehicle is being
driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
POWER :
Shows that the vehicle is exceeding
the Eco-friendly range.According to the hybrid system
gauge area, the "EV" indicator comes
on or off.
- "EV" indicator ON : Vehicle is driven
using the electric motor or the
gasoline engine is stopped.
- "EV" indicator OFF : Vehicle is driv-
en using the gasoline engine.
Battery State of Charge (SOC)
This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is
near the "L (Low)" level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery.
However, if the Service Indicator ( )
and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
( ) turn on when the SOC (State of
charge) gauge is near the "L (Low)"
level, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
