Starting the vehicle
Vehicles with smart key system
1. Carry the smart key or leave it inside
the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.
3. Make sure the shift button is in P
(Park). With the shift button in N
(Neutral), you cannot start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop button.
If the hybrid system starts, the “”
indicator will come on.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing
the accelerator.
After following the start procedures,
“
” indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn on. For more details,
please check chapter 6.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERATION of
Hybrid system
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate and maintain a steady
cruising speed. Do not make “jack-
rabbit” starts. Do not race between
stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear out.
• 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 is running with the
shift button in N (Neutral), the hybrid
system cannot generate electricity.
The hybrid battery cannot recharge
with the shift button in N (Neutral).
Information
In the hybrid system, the engine
automatically runs and stops. When
the hybrid system operates, the “
”
indicator is illuminated.
In the following situation, the engine may
operate automatically.
- When the engine is ready to run
-When the hybrid battery is being
charged
-Depending on the temperature
condition of the hybrid battery
Special features
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may
hear a sound from the hybrid battery
system under the floor. If you apply
the accelerator pedal rapidly, you may
hear an unconventional sound. When
you apply the brake pedal, you may
hear a sound from the regenerative
brake system. When the hybrid system
is turned off or on, you may hear a
sound in the engine compartment. If
you depress the brake pedal repeatedly
when the hybrid system is turned on,
you may hear a sound in the engine
compartment. None of these sounds
indicate a problem. These are normal
characteristics of hybrid vehicles.
If any of following occur, it’s a normal
condition if you hear a motor sound in
the engine compartment:
-After turning off the hybrid system,
the brake pedal is released.
-When the hybrid system is turned off,
the brake pedal is applied.
-When the driver door is opened.

Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure is required to
stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working.
If you experience a malfunction with
the brake system while driving, attempt
to slow your vehicle by coasting or
by using engine braking. You may be
able to reduce your vehicle speed by
manually downshifting to a lower gear.
Use Manual Shift Mode using either the
gear shift lever or the paddle shifters (if
equipped) to shift to a lower gear.
WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning
Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light
ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake

light
(yellow)
This warning light illuminates:
When the regenerative brake does not
operate and the brake does not perform
well. This causes the Brake Warning
light (red) and Regenerative Brake
Warning Light (yellow) to illuminate
simultaneously.
If this occurs, drive safely and we
recommend that you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
The operation of the brake pedal may
