Recommended SAE viscosity
number Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil
flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils
can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance, however, higher
viscosity engine oils are required for sat-
isfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those rec-
ommended could result in engine dam-
age.When choosing an oil, consider the range
of temperature your vehicle will be oper-
ated in before the next oil change.
Proceed to select the recommended oil
viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, ordipstick before checking or drain- ing any lubricant. This is especiallyimportant in dusty or sandy areasand when the vehicle is used onunpaved roads. Cleaning the plugand dipstick areas will prevent dirtand grit from entering the engineand other mechanisms that couldbe damaged.

1. For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of
a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API Service SM / ILSAC GF-4).
However, if the engine oil is not available, select the proper engine
oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.

Starting the engine
1. Carry the smart key or leave it insidethe vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.
3. Place the shift lever in the P(Park) position. In N(Neutral) position, you
can not start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the engine start/stop button.
6. In extremely cold weather or after the vehicle has not been operated for sev-
eral days, let the engine warm up with-
out depressing the accelerator.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing
the accelerator.
if it is far away from you, the engine
may not start.
in the ACC or ON position, if any door
is open, the system checks for the
smart key. If the smart key is not in
the vehicle, the warning, "Key is not
in vehicle" will come on, and if all
doors are closed, the chime will also
sound for about 5 seconds. The indi-
cator will turn off while the vehicle is
moving. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when using the ACC position
or if the vehicle engine is on. IF the starting procedure is followed,
the "READY" symbol on the instru-
ment cluster will turn on. For more
details, Please check chapter 5.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA-
TION of Hybrid system
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod-
erate rate and maintain a steady cruis-
ing speed. Don't make "jack-rabbit"
starts. Don't race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle decelerates.
When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatically
recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine runs in "N" position, the hybrid system can not generate
electricity. The hybrid battery cannot
recharge in "N" position. Please check
chapter 5.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
In the hybrid system, the engine auto-
matically runs and stops. If the hybrid
system operates, the "READY" symbol
is illuminated.
In the following situation, the engine
may operate automatically.
- When the engine is ready to run
- When the hybrid battery is charged
- Depending on the temperature condi-
tion of the hybrid battery

WARNING
Do not disassemble or assemblethe package module. Doing so
may result in death or serious
injury.
If you disassemble or assemble hybrid system components
improperly, it may damage the
performance and reliability of
your vehicle.
If electrolyte comes in contact with your body, clothes or eyes,
immediately flush with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have
your eyes examined by a doctor
as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never assemble or disassemble the
high voltage battery system.
If you assemble or disassemblethe high voltage battery system
arbitrarily, the durability and per-
formance of vehicle may be dam-
aged.
When you want to check the high voltage battery system, have the
vehicle checked and inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not touch the high voltage battery and high voltage cable
connected to motor(orange
color). If not, severe burns and
electric shock may occur. For
your safety, do not touch the
cover of electronic components
and electronic cable. Do not
remove the cover of electronic
components and electronic cable
arbitrarily. In particular, Never
touch the high voltage battery
system when the hybrid system
operated. If not, it may result if
death or serious injury.
OYFH021003N
WARNING
Never use the package modules(high voltage battery, inverter,
converter) for any other purpose.
Do not use an after-market bat- tery charger to charge the high
voltage battery. Doing so may
result in death or serious injury.
Never put into a fire. Doing so may result in serious burns.
Never drill into, strike or other- wise damage the package mod-
ules. Doing so may result in seri-
ous injury or death.
CAUTION
When the vehicle is paint baked, do not pass 30 minutes in 158°F(70°C) or 20 minutes in 176°F(80°C) degree.
When you clean the engine com- partment, do not wash usingwater. Water may cause an elec-tric shock to occur and damageelectronic parts and components.
