Maintenance
Bright-metal maintenance
To remove road tar and insects,use a tar remover, not a scraper or
other sharp object.
To protect the surfaces of bright- metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preser-
vative and rub to a high luster.
During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, acceler-
ated rusting can occur on underbody
parts such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even
though they have been treated with
rust protection. Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after off-road driving and at the end
of each winter. Pay special attention
to these areas because it is difficult
to see all the mud and dirt. It will do
more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be
allowed to clog with dirt; trapped
water in these areas can cause rust-
ing.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum
wheels.
Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly
with water. Also, clean the
wheels after driving on salted
roads.
Do not wash the wheels with high-speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any cleaners con- taining acid or alkaline deter-
gents.
NOTICE
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forward
speed.

Maintenance
Caring for the leather seats - Vacuum the seat periodically toremove dust and sand on the
seat. It will prevent abrasion or
damage of the leather and main-
tain its quality.
- Wipe the natural leather seat cover often with dry or soft cloth.
- Use of proper leather protective may prevent abrasion of the
cover and helps maintain the
color. Be sure to read the instruc-
tions and consult a specialist
when using leather coating or
protective agent.
- Light colored (beige, cream beige) leather is easily contami-
nated and the stain is noticeable.
Clean the seats frequently.
- Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may cause the surface to crack. Cleaning the leather seats
- Remove all contaminationsinstantly. Refer to instructions
below for removal of each con-
taminant.
- Cosmetic products (sunscreen, foundation, etc.)
Apply cleansing cream on a cloth
and wipe the contaminate spot.
Wipe off the cream with a wet
cloth and remove water with a dry
cloth.
- Beverages (coffee, soft drink, etc.)
Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until contami-
nations do not smear.
- Oil Remove oil instantly with
absorbable cloth and wipe with
stain remover used only for natu-
ral leather.
- Chewing gum Harden the gum with ice and
remove gradually.
Cleaning the seat belt webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow
the instructions provided with the
soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the
webbing because this may weaken
the seat belt.
Cleaning the interior windowglass
If the interior glass surfaces of the
vehicle become fogged (that is, cov-
ered with an oily, greasy or waxy
film), they should be cleaned with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions
on the glass cleaner container.
Do not scrape or scratch the
inside of the rear window. This
may result in damage to the rear
window defroster grid.

Main Components
On-Board Charger (OBC) :
A device that charges the high volt-
age battery by converting AC
power from a charging station to
DC power.
• Inverter : A device that transforms
direct current (DC) from the high
voltage battery into alternating cur-
rent (AC) to supply power to the
electric motor and transforms AC
back into DC when available to
charge the high voltage battery.
LDC : An LDC is a Low Voltage
DC-to-DC converter that trans-
forms power from the high voltage
battery to the low voltage battery
(12V) in order to supply electrical
power to the vehicle to operate the
lights, wipers, multimedia, etc. Electric Motor :
A device that con-
verts electrical energy from the
high voltage battery into mechani-
cal energy which is then trans-
ferred as rotational torque to the
wheels in order to drive the vehicle.
Reduction gear : Delivers rota-
tional force of the motor to the tires
at appropriate speeds and torque.
EV Battery (Lithium-ion) : On
board high voltage storage device
with a capacity up to 64 kWh

Do not remove or disassem-
ble high voltage components
and high voltage battery con-
nectors and wires. Also, be
careful not to damage high
voltage components and the
high voltage battery. It may
cause serious injury and sig-
nificantly impact the perform-
ance and durability of the
vehicle.
When inspection and mainte-
nance is required for high volt-
age components, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING

H6
EV Battery Coolant Heater
(if equipped)
When charging your vehicle, the EV
battery coolant heater may be turned
on to increase battery temperature
when the battery temperature is low
(i.e. in cold weather conditions). This
allows the EV battery to charge at
nominal temperatures and helps to
improve battery life.
Note that when the vehicle is being
charged some of the electrical cur-
rent coming from the charger is being
used to operate the EV battery
coolant heater. Electrical power con-
sumption for charging may be slightly
higher than normal.Make sure to use a designat-
ed charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using
different types of chargers
may have a serious impact on
vehicle durability.
Make sure that the high volt-
age battery charger gauge
does not reach ''L (Low)". If
the vehicle is kept at ''L (Low)"
for a long period, it may dam-
age the high voltage battery
and the high voltage battery
may have to be replaced
depending on the level of
degradation.
If the vehicle is in a collision,
contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to inspect the condition
of the EV battery and related
fuses.
CAUTION
The EV battery coolant heater
operates when the charging con-
nector is connected to the vehi-
cle. However, the EV battery
coolant heater may not operate
when battery temperature drops
below -31°F (-35°C).

Charging Precautions
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.
Electromagnetic waves that
are generated from the charg-
er can seriously impact med-
ical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pace-
maker.
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure
to ask the medical team and
manufacturer whether charg-
ing your electric vehicle will
impact the operation of the
medical electric devices such
as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker.
Inspect the charging cable
connector for any signs of
water or excess dust or dirt.
Connecting the cable when
there is water or dirt on the
connector may initiate a short
circuit and cause a fire or
electric shock.
WARNING
Use caution not to touch the
charging connector or the
charging port when connect-
ing the cable from the charger
to the charging port on the
vehicle.
Comply with the following in
order to prevent electrical
shock when charging:
- Use caution when connect-
ing the charger to the charg-
ing port when it is raining or
snowing.
- Use caution when there are adverse weather conditions
such as lightning.
- Use caution when the charg- ing connector or the charg-
ing plug is wet.
