IntroductionThis vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
How various systems in yourvehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was travel- ing. These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

What to do in an emergency
64. Connect the jumper cables in theexact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle
(1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive
(+) battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2). 6. Connect the second jumper cable
to the black, negative (-) battery/
chassis ground of the assisting
vehicle (3).
7. Connect the other end of the sec- ond jumper cable to the black,
negative (-) chassis ground of
your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor-
rect battery or jumper terminals or
the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making
connections. 8. Press the 12V Battery Reset
switch.
9. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run for a few min-
utes.
10. Start your vehicle as soon as possible. After starting vehicle
( indicator on), operate the
vehicle safely outdoors in ready
mode stopped and/or drive it for
30 minutes total to charge the
12V battery fully.

Checking the Brake Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap thor-
oughly to prevent brake fluid contam-
ination. If the level is low, add the specified
brake fluid to the MAX level. The level
will fall with accumulated mileage.
This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, have
the brake system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact the vehicle’s body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an
extended time should NEVER be
used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be dis-
posed of properly.
Do not use the wrong kind of brake fluid. A few drops of min-
eral based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake system can
damage brake system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid
(refer to "Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities" in chapter 8).
i
NOTICE
If the brake system requires fre-
quent additions of fluid this
could indicate a leak in the
brake system. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come
in contact with your eyes. If
brake fluid comes in contact
with your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate
medical attention.

FCEV : Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle

H11
How to Stop the Vehicle
1. Hold down the brake pedal whilethe vehicle is parked.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, shift to P (Park).
3. While depressing the brake pedal, engage the parking brake.
4. While depressing the brake pedal, press the Power button and turn
off the vehicle.
5. Check if the " " indicator is turned OFF on the instrument
cluster.
When the " " indicator is ON and the gear is in a position other
than P (Park), the driver can acci-
dently depress the accelerator
pedal, causing the vehicle to move
unexpectedly.
Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear vehicle sound because
there is no sound while the FCEV
vehicle is operating.
• If the vehicle is in the ready ( ) mode and the gear is not in P
(Park),
When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
The vehicle does not generate
a sound. Be aware of your
driving environment and drive
safely.
After you park the vehicle or
while you are waiting at a traf-
fic light, check whether there
are children or obstacles
around the vehicle.
Check if there is something
behind the vehicle when driv-
ing in reverse. Pedestrians
may not hear the sound of the
vehicle.
CAUTION

5. Why is there an engine noise at low speeds, even though there is no engine?The noise is generated from the air compressor and cooling pump
working to supply air to the fuel cell or it's from Virtual Engine
Sound System (VESS).
6. When turning on and off the vehicle incold weather, there's a loud noise. Is this
noise cause for concern?
When you turn on the vehicle or turn off the vehicle in cold weather,
the air compressor removes the generated water inside the fuel cell
system and the noise is generated during this process, which is nor-
mal. In this case, certain amount of water may drain through the
vehicle bottom and exhaust pipe.
7. Why does a noise emanate when thevehicle moves in reverse?
Normally, the noise is a result of the Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS) working when the FCEV runs at low velocity (1~12 mph
(1~20 km/h)) after shifting to D or N. However, when shifting to R,
the VESS operates immediately, regardless of vehicle speed. In
addition, a separate warning chime will sound to have the pedestri-
an aware of the approaching vehicle.
8. The FCEV is equipped with a reductiongear but no transmission. What makes it
different from standard vehicles?
The transmission of standard vehicles delivers power as conditions
require via multiple transmission gears. However, the reduction gear
of the FCEV is designed to deliver power by reducing the motor's
RPM as operating conditions dictate, or to move backwards by
reversing the rotational direction of the shaft.
