Range
The range is the estimated dis-tance the vehicle can be driven
with the remaining fuel.
If the estimated distance is below 1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display "---" as range.
If the hydrogen supply line is empty, the gauge may indicate that the
hydrogen is not in the hydrogen
tank.
Information
• If the vehicle is not on level groundor the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the range function may not
operate correctly.
• The range may differ from the actu- al driving distance as it is only an
estimate of the available driving
range for the vehicle and driving
conditions.
• The range may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
1. Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2. Shift to P (Park) and set the park- ing brake. If the air conditioning is
on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the hood, stop the vehicle.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there
is no visible loss of coolant and no
steam, leave the vehicle running
and check to be sure the vehicle
cooling fan is operating. If the fan
is not running, turn the vehicle off. 4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5. If coolant is leaking out, stop the vehicle immediately and call the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.

While the vehicle is
running, keep hands,
clothing and tools
away from the mov-
ing parts such as the
cooling fan to prevent
serious injury.
WARNING
Your vehicle is
equipped with a pres-
surized coolant
reserve tank. NEVER
remove the coolant
reserve tank cap or the radiator
drain plug while the radiator is
HOT. Hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.
Turn the vehicle off and wait
until the vehicle cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the coolant reserve tank
cap. Wrap a towel or thick rag
around it, and turn it counter-
clockwise slowly to release
some of the pressure from the
system. Step back while the
pressure is released.
When you are sure all the pres-
sure has been released, contin-
ue turning the cap counter-
clockwise to remove it.

FCEV : Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle

H2
An FCEV is an electric vehicle which is driven using the electricity generated from the fuel cell.
The power system of the FCEV is composed of the following:
- The fuel cell stack which generates the electricity
- The device which controls the heat generated after supplying the hydrogen and air for chemical reaction of the stack
- The inverter which converts the DC created from the stack to AC
- The traction motor which generates propelling power using the supplied AC
- Air processing system
- Fuel processing system
The hydrogen tanks that stores the hydrogen supplied to the fuel cell can be fueled at 70 MPa.

1. Fuel cell stack
A fuel cell stack is a device that con-
verts the chemical energy into elec-
tricity thorough a chemical reaction
with hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel cell
is different from battery in that it
requires hydrogen and oxygen con-
stantly in order to operate. And it can
produce electricity continually for as
long as hydrogen and oxygen are
supplied. A fuel cell stack is com-
posed of many unit cells to obtain the
desired power for a vehicle.
2. FCEV powertrain
1. High voltage junction box
2. Fuel cell stack
3. Traction motor4. Reduction gear
5. Air compressor
The main components of FCEV are
Fuel cell stack, air processing sys-
tem, fuel processing system, thermal
management system, hydrogen stor-
age tank, high voltage battery, DC-
DC converter, inverter and traction
motor, gear differential unit.
The Air compressor supplies air to fuel
cell system and the hydrogen storage
tank supplies hydrogen fuel to fuel cell
system. Then the electric energy
comes from the fuel cell system.
The electric energy deliveried to the
motor inverter. The energy finally
moves to motor operating.

If you assemble or disassemble
the stack and fuel cell system,
hydrogen may leak resulting in
fire and this may lead to acci-
dents. Never assemble or disas-
semble the stack and fuel cell
system.

3. High pressure hydrogenstorage tanks
Compressed hydrogen tank system
is composed of three tanks which
are filled with hydrogen gas in a gas
station. Each tank is made of plastic
liner for blocking the hydrogen per-
meation and carbon fiber layer sus-
tain high pressures.
There are main parts to supply
hydrogen stably and to enable safety
such as magnetic valves, pressure
regulator, pressure sensors, pres-
sure relief valve, excess flow valve
and so on. The hydrogen in the tanks
comes into the pressure regulator
which has a pressure sensor.
4. Battery system
A 12 V battery integrated with the low
and high voltage batteries is installed
in the vehicle. The battery supplies
the electricity required for driving the
vehicle and stores the energy gener-
ated from the regenerative braking.
When the vehicle accelerates the
auxiliary power of the fuel cell sup-
plies the energy. The vehicle can
drive about 2 miles (3 km) in EV
mode until the high voltage battery is
discharged.
High voltage cables
The electric energy which is generat-
ed from fuel cell system or high volt-
age battery module is distributed to
the various components. Most of the
cables are located in the inside or bot-
tom of the components. These cables
use orange colored cover to distin-
guish from other lines. It is required to
handle the cables carefully with isola-
tion gloves.
