Shift-lock system
For your safety, your vehicle has a
shift-lock system which prevents
shifting the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse) or D
(Drive) unless the brake pedal is
depressed.
To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the vehicle or place the
POWER button in the ON position.
3. Press the R (Reverse) or D (Drive)
button.
When the battery (12 V) is dis-
charged
You cannot shift the gear when the
battery is discharged.
Jump start your vehicle (refer to
“Jump Starting” in chapter 6) or con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Shift to the P (Park) position, apply
the parking brake, and place the
POWER button in the OFF position.
Take the Key with you when exiting
the vehicle.
LCD Display Messages
Shifting conditions not met
The message appears on the LCD
display when driving speed is too
fast to shift the gear.
Decrease the vehicle speed or slow
down before shifting the gear.

ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the
POWER button is in the ON position.
During that time, the ABS will go
through self-diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and apply your brakes continu-
ously, the ABS will be active con-
tinuously and the ABS warning
light ( ) may illuminate. Pull
your car over to a safe place and
turn the vehicle off.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your ABS
system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a prob-
lem with your ABS system.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
i
NOTICE
Driving your vehicle
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

Before Jump Starting
This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the high voltage
battery. The vehicle has a 12V bat-
tery protection system that cuts 12V
battery from vehicle draw to prevent
full discharge.
Using the 12V Battery Reset
Switch
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset
switch to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 sec-
onds of pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch.
3. After starting vehicle ( indica-
tor on), move the vehicle outside
and keep the vehicle ready ( )
mode more than 30 minutes safe-
ly to charge the 12V battery.If you do not start the vehicle imme-
diately after pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch, the power of 12V bat-
tery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V
battery from additional discharge. If
the 12V battery is disconnected prior
to starting the vehicle, press the 12V
Battery Reset switch again and then
immediately start the vehicle as
explained.
Repeated use of the 12V Battery
Reset switch without a sufficient
vehicle ON cycle (30 Min+) may
cause over discharge of the 12V bat-
tery, which will prevent the vehicle
from starting. If the 12V battery is
over discharged to a point that the
reset does not work, try to jump-start
the vehicle.
Information
After starting the vehicle ( indica-
tor on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the accelerator pedal
is depressed or not.

you can try a jump start using a 12V
booster pack or jumper cables from
another vehicle's 12V battery
according to the following instruc-
tions.1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in
the fuel cell power module com-
partment at all times, even when
the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such
as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brake. Turn
both vehicles OFF.

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.

The FCEV system contains
many electronic components.
High voltage components like
cables and other parts may emit
electromagnetic waves. Even if
the electromagnetic cover
blocks electromagnetic emis-
sions, electromagnetic waves
may have an effect on electron-
ic appliances. If you park the
vehicle for a long time, the high
voltage battery or 12V battery
will discharge. You need to drive
the vehicle several times per
month. We recommend driving
at least 10 minutes or 2 miles (3
km) when you drive the vehicle.
If the high voltage battery is dis-
charged and if it is impossible
to jump start the vehicle contact
your HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
When you start the FCEV sys-
tem in the "P" or "N" gear
position, the "Ready ( )"
indicator is illuminated in the
cluster. The driver can drive
the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn off the sys-
tem or shift into the "P" posi-
tion. If you depress the accel-
erator pedal by mistake and
the vehicle is not in the "P"
position, the vehicle will move
abruptly. This may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never touch the service plug
under the rear seat.
The service plug is attached to
the high voltage battery system.
Touching the service plug will
result in death or serious injury.
Service personnel should fol-
low procedures in service man-
ual.
