Driving your vehicle
The paddle shifter is used to adjust
the regenerative braking rate from 0
to 3 during decelerating or braking.
Left side ( ): Increases regener-
ative braking and deceleration.
Right side ( ): Decreases
regenerative braking and decelera-
tion.
Pull and hold the left side paddle
shifter to change to 0.
Pull and hold the left side paddle
shifter to change to 3.
Information
The paddle shifter does not operate
when:
• Both Paddle shifters are pulled at
the same time.
• The Smart Cruise Control system is
activated.
• The vehicle is shifted to P (Park), R
(Reverse) and N (Neutral).
If the battery is fully charged when
descending down a long or steep
hill, the regenerative braking is
not working even though operat-
ing the paddle shifter. In this case,
depress the brake pedal to brake
the vehicle. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with
your paddle shifter and brakes.The selected regenerative braking
rate is displayed on the instrument
cluster.
What Does Regenerative
Braking Do?
It uses the electric motor when
decelerating or braking which trans-
forms vehicle motion (kinetic energy)
to electrical energy to charge the
high voltage batteries.

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.
WARNING

5-120
Driving your vehicle
If you believe your brakes may be
wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tire tread
decreases, refer to "Tire Tread" in
chapter 7.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tires, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci-
fied on your tires.
Coolant and high voltage bat-
tery
Be sure to check both the coolant
level and the high voltage battery
level before driving.

If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the medi-
an area between the two traffic
lanes.
2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and shift
gear to the P(Park) position.
3. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
If the vehicle stalls while driv-
ing
1. Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the vehicle again. If
your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Be sure the shift lever is in P
(Park). The vehicle starts only
when the shift lever is in P (Park).
This vehicle does not have a regu-
lar 12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion poly-
mer type integrated into the high
voltage battery. The vehicle has a
12V battery protection system that
cuts 12V battery from vehicle draw
to prevent full discharge. If vehicle
will not start, first try pressing the
12V Battery Reset switch (left side
of the steering wheel near the fuel
door open switch) to reconnect the
12V battery, but you must start
vehicle within 15 seconds of press-
ing the 12V Battery Reset switch.
After starting vehicle, operate the
vehicle safely outdoors in ready
mode stopped and/or drive it for 30
minutes total to charge the 12V
battery fully.
Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it.
If the vehicle still does not start, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.

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.
