- Fuel Cell Stack
Overheats
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the "H" position, it indi-
cates overheating that may dam-
age the fuel cell stack.Hydrogen fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank (The fuel tank capacity is
given in chapter 8). The fuel gauge is
supplemented by a low fuel warning
light which will illuminate when the
fuel tank is nearly empty.Information -Hydrogen
Fueling Station
According to the hydrogen fueling sta-
tion condition, the hydrogen fuel may
not filled fully.i
NOTICE
Running Out of Fuel
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possible
after the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the ''E'' (Empty)
level.
WARNING
Radiator Cap
Never remove the radiator cap
when the fuel cell power mod-
ule is hot. Otherwise the fuel
cell stack coolant may be under
pressure and cause severe
burns. Wait until the fuel cell
power module is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

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 ground
or 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.
Gear shift indicator
This indicator displays which gear is
selected.

Icy Road Warning Light
(if equipped)
This warning light is to warn the driver
the road may be icy.
When the temperature on the out-
side temperature gauge is approxi-
mately below 40°F (4°C), the Icy
Road Warning Light and Outside
Temperature Gauge blinks and then
illuminates. Also, the warning chime
sounds 1 time.
The Icy Road Warning function can
be activated or deactivated from the
Vehicle Settings mode in the AVN
screen.
Information
If the icy road warning light appears
while driving, you should drive more
attentively and safely, refraining from
over-speeding, rapid acceleration, sud-
den braking or sharp turning, etc.
Hydrogen Gas Leak
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
[Red] When the hydrogen leakage
is detected in the vehicle.
[Yellow] When there is a malfunc-
tion with the hydrogen leakage
detection sensor.
If the warning light continuously
remains on when the vehicle is in
"READY" state, or comes on during
driving, this indicates that there may
be hydrogen leakage or a malfunc-
tion with the hydrogen leakage
detection sensor. If this occurs, stop
the vehicle and have the hydrogen
system inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Low Fuel Level
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the fuel tank is nearly empty.
If the fuel tank is nearly empty:
Add fuel as soon as possible.

The hazard warning flasher serves
as a warning to other drivers to exer-
cise extreme caution when approach-
ing, overtaking, or passing your vehi-
cle.
It should be used whenever emer-
gency repairs are being made or
when the vehicle is stopped near the
edge of a roadway.To turn the hazard warning flasher
on or off, press the hazard warning
flasher button. The button is located
in the center fascia panel. Both the
left and right turn signal lights will
flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher oper-
ates whether your vehicle is run-
ning or not.
The turn signals do not work when
the hazard flasher is on.
If an accident occurs
1. Stop the vehicle, shift gear to the
P (Park) position, engage the
parking brake, and turn the vehicle
off.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel
cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the electricity from being generat-
ed.
2. Evacuate to the safety place.
3. Call emergency services for help
and let them know the vehicle is a
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
If a fire occurs
1. Stop the vehicle, shift gear to the
P(Park) position, engage the park-
ing brake, and turn the vehicle off.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel
cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the electricity from being generat-
ed.
2. If the fire is small, which can be
extinguished with fire extinguisher,
use carbon dioxide extinguisher.
You can also extinguish the fire
with water when the vehicle power
is turned off.If the fire is too big to be extin-
guished with the fire extinguisher,
evacuate from the vehicle, call the
fire department, and let them know
the vehicle is a Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicle. Do not come close to the
vehicle until the fire is totally extin-
guished.
Emergency venting of hydro-
gen gas
If the temperature near the safety
valve located at the rear under vehi-
cle is over 230°F (110°C) caused by
a fire or other reasons, the safety
valve will open to vent hydrogen gas.
Venting the hydrogen gas makes a
loud noise because the venting
speed is very fast. Stay well away
from the vehicle. The discharge of
hydrogen gas from the vehicle is
flammable and could cause a fire.
If a submersion in water
occurs
If your vehicle was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you should not try to start
the vehicle by pressing the POWER
button.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer immediately.
If the vehicle stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the gear in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.

Do not use water to extinguish a
fire when the vehicle power is
turned on. Serious electric
shock may result.

The vehicle is not equipped with a
common 12V battery which requires
periodic replacement. The battery is
a lithium polymer type integrated into
the high voltage battery. Full dis-
charge of the battery is prevented
through 12V battery protection sys-
tem which can isolate the 12V bat-
tery.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling
the battery: Always read and follow
instructions carefully
when handling a battery.Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks,
or smoking materials
away from the battery.
WARNING
Hydrogen is always present in battery cells,
is highly combustible,
and may explode if ignit-
ed.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.
Batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid which is highly
corrosive. Do not allow
acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately. When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Do not attempt to jump start
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
NEVER attempt to recharge
the battery when the vehicle’s
battery cables are connected
to the battery.
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
NEVER touch these compo-
nents with the vehicle ON
( indicator ON) or when
the POWER button is in the
ON position.
