Before Jump Starting

This vehicle does not have a regular 12 V

battery that needs periodic replacement.

It is lithium ion type integrated into the

HEV high voltage battery. The vehicle has

a 12 V battery protection system that cuts

12 V battery from vehicle draw to prevent

full discharge.

OCN7HQ010003N

1. Press the 12 V Battery Reset switch to

reconnect the 12 V battery.

2. Start the vehicle within 15 seconds of

pressing the 12 V Battery Reset switch.

3. 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 12 V battery fully.

If you do not start the vehicle

immediately after pressing the 12 V

Battery Reset switch, the power of 12 V

battery is automatically disconnected

after few seconds to save the 12 V battery

from additional discharge. If the 12 V

battery is disconnected prior to starting

the vehicle, press the 12 V Battery Reset

switch again and then immediately start

the vehicle as explained.
Repeated use of the 12 V Battery Reset

switch without a sufficient engine

ON cycle (30 Min+) may cause over

discharge of the 12 V battery, which will

prevent the vehicle from starting. If the

12 V battery is over discharged to a point

that the reset does not work, try to jump-

start the vehicle.

Information

After starting the vehicle (

indicator

on), the 12 V battery is being charged

whether the engine is running or not.

Although there is no engine sound, it is

unnecessary to depress the accelerator

pedal.

The following items may need to be reset

after the battery has been discharged or

the battery has been disconnected.

Information

The voltage range of the charger should be

13.3~14 V and its current range should be

less than 60 A. (13.8 V is recommended).

CAUTION

•

The use of an improper charger

with a voltage and current range

higher than specified may cause

overheating and damage to the 12 V

battery.

•

The use of an incorrect charger will

lead to a power shut-off to save the

12 V battery. Stop using the incorrect

charger once the power of the

vehicle is shut off.

Information

An inappropriately disposed

battery can be harmful to

the environment and human

health. Dispose of the battery

according to your local law(s) or

regulations.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to your vehicle:

•

Only use a 12 V power supply (battery

or jumper system) to jump start your

vehicle.

•

Do not attempt to jump start your

vehicle by push-starting.

CAUTION

Do not jump start another vehicle with

your hybrid vehicle. Jump starting

another vehicle will damage the hybrid

vehicle’s 12 V battery (lithium ion type).

8-7

If your temperature gauge indicates

overheating, you experience a loss of

power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,

the engine may be overheating. If this

happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it

is safe to do so.

2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the

parking brake

3. Turn off the air conditioner.
4. When the coolant or hot steams gush

out of the reservoir, stop the engine

and call an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer for assistance. If the coolant

does not flow out, leave the engine

compartment opened, while running

the engine. Check the coolant

temperature gauge on the instrument

cluster and turn off the engine to

make sure the coolant temperature is

sufficiently cooled down.

5. Cool down the engine sufficiently

and check the coolant level. When it

is insufficient, check its connection

with the radiator, the heater hose,

and the water pump for any leakage.

When there is no leakage, add the

coolant. However, if the problems

persists, such as the coolant leakages,

the cooling-fan malfunction or the

water pump drive belt damages,

immediately stop the engine, and

have your vehicle checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

•

You should mix antifreeze and water in

a proper ratio to make coolant. If the

antifreeze ratio is too high or low, it

may cause overheating due to the lack

of cooling function.
(Refer to the Mix Ratio in “Checking

the coolant level” in chapter 9.)

•

If overheating happens repeatedly,

have your vehicle to be checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

While the engine is running,

keep hands, clothing and tools

away from the moving parts

such as the cooling fan and

drive belt to prevent serious

injury.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

Emergency Situations

8-10

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

WARNING

Over-inflation or under-inflation can

reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle

handling, and lead to sudden tire failure

that may cause loss of vehicle control

resulting in an accident.

Each tire, including the spare (if

provided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard

or tire inflation pressure label. (If your

vehicle has tires of a different size than

the size indicated on the vehicle placard

or tire inflation pressure label, you should

determine the proper tire inflation

pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your

vehicle has been equipped with a tire

pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

that illuminates a low tire pressure

telltale when one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure telltale

illuminates, you should stop and check

your tires as soon as possible, and inflate

them to the proper pressure. Driving on

a significantly underinflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead to tire

failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel

efficiency and tire tread life, and may

affect the vehicle’s handling and

stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a

substitute for proper tire maintenance,

and it is the driver’s responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if

under-inflation has not reached the level

to trigger illumination of the TPMS low

tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with

a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating

properly. The TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low

tire pressure telltale. When the system

detects a malfunction, the telltale will

flash for approximately one minute and

then remain continuously illuminated.

This sequence will continue upon

subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as

the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is

illuminated, the system may not be able

to detect or signal low tire pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur

for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate

tires or wheels on the vehicle that

prevent the TPMS from functioning

properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction

telltale after replacing one or more tires

or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that

the replacement or alternate tires and

wheels allow the TPMS to continue to

function properly.

Emergency Situations

8-12

If either telltale illuminates, immediately

reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering

and anticipate increased stopping

distances. You should stop and check

your tires as soon as possible. Inflate the

tires to the proper pressure as indicated

on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation

pressure label located on the driver’s

side center pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station or

if the tire cannot hold the newly added

air, replace the low pressure tire with the

spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure Telltale will remain

on and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator

may blink for one minute and then

remain illuminated (when the vehicle

is driven approximately 10 minutes at

speed above 15.5 mph (25km/h)) until

you have the low pressure tire repaired

and replaced on the vehicle.

Information

The spare tire is not equipped with a tire

pressure sensor.

CAUTION

In winter or cold weather, the Low Tire

Pressure Telltale may be illuminated if

the tire pressure was adjusted to the

recommended tire inflation pressure

in warm weather. It does not mean

your TPMS is malfunctioning because

the decreased temperature leads to a

proportional lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a

warm area to a cold area or from a cold

area to a warm area, or the outside

temperature is greatly higher or lower,

you should check the tire inflation

pressure and adjust the tires to the

recommended tire inflation pressure.

WARNING

Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makes

the vehicle unstable and can contribute

to loss of vehicle control and increased

braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires

can cause the tires to overheat and fail.

8-13

TPMS (Tire Pressure

Monitoring System)

Malfunction Indicator

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator

will illuminate after it blinks for

approximately one minute when there

is a problem with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System.
Have the system checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE

If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,

the Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale

will not be displayed even though the

vehicle has an under-inflated tire.

NOTICE

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator may

illuminate after blinking for one minute

if the vehicle is near electric power

supply cables or radio transmitters

such as police stations, government

and public offices, broadcasting

stations, military installations, airports,

transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction

Indicator may illuminate if snow chains

are used or electronic devices such as

computers, chargers, remote starters,

navigation, etc. This may interfere with

normal operation of the TPMS.

Changing a Tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire

Pressure and Position telltales will come

on. Have the flat tire repaired by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as

possible or replace the flat tire with the

spare tire.

NOTICE

It is recommended that you do not use a

puncture-repairing agent not approved

by a HYUNDAI dealer to repair and/or

inflate a low pressure tire. Tire sealant

not approved by a HYUNDAI dealer may

damage the tire pressure sensor.

The spare tire (if equipped) does not

come with a tire pressure monitoring

sensor. When the low pressure tire or

the flat tire is replaced with the spare

tire, the Low Tire Pressure Telltale will

remain on. Also, the TPMS Malfunction

Indicator will illuminate after blinking

for one minute if the vehicle is driven

at speed above 15.5 mph (25km/h) for

approximately 10 minutes.
Once the original tire equipped with

a tire pressure monitoring sensor is

reinflated to the recommended pressure

and reinstalled on the vehicle, the

Low Tire Pressure Telltale and TPMS

Malfunction Indicator will go off within a

few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not extinguish after a

few minutes, please visit an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

Emergency Situations

8-14

Each wheel is equipped with a tire

pressure sensor mounted inside the tire

behind the valve stem (except for the

spare tire). You must use TPMS specific

wheels. Always have your tires serviced

by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
You may not be able to identify a tire

with low pressure by simply looking at it.

Always use a good quality tire pressure

gauge to measure the tire’s inflation

pressure. Please note that a tire that is

hot (from being driven) will have a higher

pressure measurement than a tire that is

cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been

sitting for 3 hours and driven for less

than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring

the inflation pressure. Always be sure

the tire is cold before inflating to the

recommended pressure.

WARNING

•

The TPMS cannot alert you to severe

and sudden tire damage caused by

external factors such as nails or road

debris.

•

If you feel any vehicle instability,

immediately take your foot off

the accelerator, apply the brakes

gradually with light force, and slowly

move to a safe position off the road.

WARNING

Tampering with, modifying, or disabling

the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) components may interfere

with the system’s ability to warn the

driver of low tire pressure conditions

and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering

with, modifying, or disabling the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

components may void the warranty for

that portion of the vehicle.

Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC rules.

before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to

the tire and have the tire inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as

possible.

CAUTION

When two or more tires are flat, do not

use the tire mobility kit because the

sealant provided with the Tire Mobility

Kit must be used for only one flat tire.

WARNING

Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair

punctures in the tire walls. This can

result in an accident due to tire failure.

WARNING

Have your tire repaired as soon as

possible. The tire may lose air pressure

at any time after inflating with the Tire

Mobility Kit.

Introduction

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile

even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The compressor and sealing compound

system effectively and comfortably seals

most punctures in a passenger car tire

caused by nails or similar objects and

reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly

sealed you can drive cautiously on the

tire (distance up to 120 miles (200 km))

at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) in

order to reach a service station or tire

dealer for the tire replacement.
It is possible that some tires, especially

with larger punctures or damage to the

sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may adversely

affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt

steering or other driving maneuvers,

especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded

or if a trailer is in use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed

or intended as a permanent tire repair

method and is to be used for one tire

only.
This instruction shows you step by step

how to temporarily seal the puncture

simply and reliably.
Read the section “Notes on the safe use

of the Tire Mobility Kit”.

WARNING

Do not use the TMK if a tire is severely

damaged by driving run flat or with

insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the

tread region of the tire can be sealed

using the TMK.

only on hard-surfaced roads for a short

distance and at low speeds. Also, the

wheels, axles, power train, steering and

brakes must all be in good condition.

CAUTION

The driver must be in the vehicle for

steering and braking operations when

the vehicle is being towed. Passengers

other than the driver must not be in the

vehicle.

Always follow these emergency towing

precautions:

•

Place the ignition switch in the ACC

position so the steering wheel is not

locked.

•

Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).

•

Release the parking brake.

•

Depress the brake pedal with more

force than normal since you will have

reduced braking performance.

•

More steering effort will be required

because the power steering system

will be disabled.

•

Use a vehicle heavier than your own to

tow your vehicle.

•

The drivers of both vehicles should

communicate with each other

frequently.

•

Before emergency towing, check that

the hook is not broken or damaged.

•

Fasten the towing cable or chain

securely to the hook.

•

Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady

and even force.

Emergency Situations

8-26

less than 16 feet

OCN7H083026L

•

Use a towing cable or chain less than

16 ft. (5 m) long. Attach a white or red

cloth (about 12 in. (30 cm) wide) in the

middle of the cable or chain for easy

visibility.

•

Drive carefully so the towing cable or

chain remains tight during towing.

•

Before towing, check the Dual clutch

transmission for fluid leaks under

your vehicle. If the Dual clutch

transmission fluid is leaking, flatbed

equipment or a towing dolly must be

used.

NOTICE

Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle

in a slow and gradual manner while

maintaining tension on the tow rope

or chain to start or drive the vehicle,

otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle

may be damaged.

NOTICE

To avoid damage to your vehicle and

vehicle components when towing:

•

Always pull straight ahead when

using the towing hooks. Do not pull

from the side or at a vertical angle.

•

Do not use the towing hooks to pull

a vehicle out of mud, sand or other

conditions from which the vehicle

cannot be driven out under its own

power.

•

Limit the vehicle speed to 10mph

(15km/h) and drive less than 1 mile

(1.5 km) when towing to avoid serious

damage to Dual clutch transmission.

•

The Dual clutch transmission vehicle

can be towed to a normal vehicle

only without oil leakage. Check

for oil leaks. Towing the vehicle

with oil leakage may damage the

transmission.
