H2
Hyundai Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
uses a gasoline engine and an electric
motor for power. The electric motor is
run from a 280V high voltage HEV bat-
tery.
HEV computer decides according to
drive condition when to use engine
from when to use the electric motor or
even both at times.
Fuel is saved when the engine is not
running at idle at times or the vehicle
is driven by the electric motor from
the HEV battery.
The charge of the HEV battery has to
be maintained so at times the engine
becomes a generator which includes
when stopped at idle. Charging also
occurs when decelerating or by
regenerative braking.Display of Hybrid system
Many displays provide information about
the hybrid system, such as, ECO level
and ECO score.
Through the ECO LEVEL, the driver under-
stands the situation of economical driving.
If the driver drives the vehicle with eco-
nomical driving, the ECO LEVEL rises.
And it means the CO2 emission reduction.
In TOTAL ECO SCORE, when you get the
maximum step of ECO LEVEL, ECO sys-
tem adds the score and saves the score.Eco level display flower mode.1
When the hybrid vehicle is started, the
ECO level step 4 is displayed. If you drive
economically, ECO level will be upgrad-
ed.
- However, if you do not drive economical-
ly, the ECO level will be down-graded.

In the “vehicle setting”, if you change the
animation mode to "ON", the dynamic
image will be activated.
- This provides the driver with the
dynamic ECO mode.Total eco score display
If your ECO level achieves the top step,
your ECO score automatically saves 1
point.
In the “vehicle setting”, if you change the
animation mode to “ON”, the dynamic
image will be on.SOC Gauge (State of charge)
This State of Charge(SOC) gauge indi-
cates the left Hybrid battery power. If the
SOC is near L level, the vehicle automat-
ically operates the engine to charge the
battery. However, if the service indicator
and MIL(Malfunction indicator lamp) turn
on when the State of Charge(SOC) is
near L(Low), the vehicle should be
towed. Refer to the chapter 6.

reduces glare during driving condi-
tions based upon light levels moni-
tored in front of the vehicle and
from the rear of the vehicle. These
light sensors are visible through
openings in the front and rear of the
mirror case. Any object that
obstructs either light sensor will
degrade the automatic dimming
control feature.OYF049230C

Features of your vehicle
Z-Nav™ Compass Display
The NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is also
equipped with a Z-Nav™ Compass that
shows the vehicle Compass heading in
the Display Window using the 8 basic

There is a difference between magnetic
north and true north. The compass in the
mirror can compensate for this difference
when it knows the Magnetic Zone in
which it is operating. This is set either by
the dealer or by the user. The operating
Zone Numbers for North America are
shown in the figure on the following sec-
tion.

To adjust the Zone setting:
1. Determine the desired Zone Number
based upon your current location on
the Zone Map.
2. Press and hold the button for more
than 3 but less than 6 seconds, the
current Zone Number will appear on
the display.
3. Pressing and holding the button

ing again.
There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle magnets,
such as installing a ski rack or a CB
antenna. Body repair work on the vehicle
can also cause changes to the vehicle's
magnetic field. In these situations, the
compass will need to be re-calibrated to
quickly correct for these changes. To re-
calibrate the compass:1. Press and hold the button for more
than 6 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the
vehicle in 2 complete circles at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Integrated HomeLink
®Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held radio-fre-
quency (RF) transmitters with a single
built-in device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of most
current transmitters to operate devices
such as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both standard
and rolling code-equipped transmitters
can be programmed by following the out-
lined procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information can be found at: www.home-
link.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515.Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes.
CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink®to
a garage door opener or gate oper-
ator, make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm or
damage. Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and reverse
features required by U.S. federal
safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop
and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. Using
a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of seri-
ous injury or death.
