Information

To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging or when
the battery temperature is high, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery. It may generate noise or vibration
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a
normal condition when charging the high
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s
performance may be degraded due to
operation of the cooling system to charge
the high voltage battery. This is a normal
condition.

Information

Even though charging is possible with
the Start/Stop button in the ON/START
position, for you safety, start charging
when the Start/Stop button is in the
OFF position and the vehicle shifted to P
(Park). After charging has started, you
can use electrical components such as the
radio by pressing the Start/Stop button to
the START or ON position.

During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.

OAEPHQ049818L

10. After charging has started, the

estimated charging time is displayed

on the instrument cluster for about 1

minute.
If you open the driver seat door while

charging, the estimated charging time

is also displayed on the instrument

cluster for about 1 minute.
When scheduled charging is set, the

estimated charging time is displayed

as “--” .

Information

Depending on the condition and durability
of the high voltage battery, charger
specifications, and ambient temperature,
the time required for charging the battery
may vary.

inspection.

Foreword/Starting your Hybrid/Plug-in hybrid vehicle

1-50

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.

DRIVING THE HYBRID VEHICLE

1-51

When the hybrid system is turned ON,

the gasoline engine may run or may not.

In this situation, you may feel a vibration.

This does not indicate a malfunction.

When the “

” indicator illuminates, the

hybrid system is ready to begin driving.

Even if the engine is off, you can operate

the vehicle as long as the “

” indicator

is illuminated.

NOTICE

The hybrid system contains many

electronic components. High voltage

components, such as cables and other

parts, may emit electromagnetic waves.

Even when the electromagnetic cover

blocks electromagnetic emissions,

electromagnetic waves may have an

effect on electronic devices. When your

vehicle is not used for a long period of

time, the hybrid system will discharge.

You need to drive the vehicle several

times a month. Drive at least for 1 hour

or 10 miles. When the hybrid battery

is discharged, or when it is impossible

to jump start the vehicle, contact your

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

When you start the hybrid system

with the shift button in P (Parking),

the “

” indicator illuminates on

the instrument cluster. The driver

can drive the vehicle, even when the

gasoline engine is off.

When you leave the vehicle, you

should turn OFF the hybrid system

or locate the shift button in P (Park).

When you depress the accelerator

pedal by mistake, or when the shift

button is not in P (Park), the vehicle

will abruptly move, possibly resulting

in serious injury or death.

Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)

The Virtual Engine Sound System

generates engine sound for pedestrians

to hear vehicle sound because there is

limited sound while motor power is used.

When the engine is running, the gear

shift button is not in P (Park), the VESS

will operate.

When the gear is shifted to R

(Reverse), an additional warning

sound will be heard.

What does regenerative braking do?

It uses an electric motor when

decelerating and when braking and

transforms kinetic energy to electrical

energy in order to charge the high

voltage battery.

Battery

Hybrid

- The vehicle is composed of a high

voltage battery that drives the motor

and air conditioner, and an integrated

12V lead battery with the HEV battery

that drives the lamps, wipers, and audio

system.

- The integrated 12V battery is
