made by the vehicle is being
converted to electrical energy.
(Regenerated energy)

[ ECO : Shows that the vehicle is being
driven in an Eco-friendly manner.

[ POWER : Shows that the vehicle is
exceeding the Eco-friendly range.

Emergency Situations8-4
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

[ Be sure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the gear is in N (Neutral) or P
(Park).

[ This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the HEV 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 pressing the 12V
Battery Reset switch. After starting
the vehicle (
indicator ON ),
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.
If the vehicle still does not start, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
NOTICE
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
WARNING
The exhaust system and catalytic
system are very hot while the engine is
running or immediately after the engine
is turned off. To avoid SERIOUSINJURY
or DEATH:
• Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle
over or near flammable objects, such
as grass, vegetation, paper, leaves,
etc. A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehicle.
• Keep away from the exhaust system
and catalytic converter or you may
get burned.
Also, Do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do not
seal the bottom of the vehicle, and
do not coat the vehicle for corrosion
control. It may present a fire risk
under certain conditions. Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle, take the
following precautions:
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.
• Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse are coasting with
the hybrid system off and descending
steep grades in gear with the hybrid
system off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
• Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control
system. Have all inspections and
adjustments made by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
catalytic converter.
