2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid ECO mode

H2
Hyundai Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
uses a gasoline engine and an electric
motor for power. The electric motor is
run from a 280V high voltage HEV bat-
tery.
HEV computer decides according to
drive condition when to use engine
from when to use the electric motor or
even both at times.
Fuel is saved when the engine is not
running at idle at times or the vehicle
is driven by the electric motor from
the HEV battery.
The charge of the HEV battery has to
be maintained so at times the engine
becomes a generator which includes
when stopped at idle. Charging also
occurs when decelerating or by
regenerative braking.Display of Hybrid system
Many displays provide information about
the hybrid system, such as, ECO level
and ECO score.
Through the ECO LEVEL, the driver under-
stands the situation of economical driving.
If the driver drives the vehicle with eco-
nomical driving, the ECO LEVEL rises.
And it means the CO2 emission reduction.
In TOTAL ECO SCORE, when you get the
maximum step of ECO LEVEL, ECO sys-
tem adds the score and saves the score.Eco level display flower mode.1
When the hybrid vehicle is started, the
ECO level step 4 is displayed. If you drive
economically, ECO level will be upgrad-
ed.
- However, if you do not drive economical-
ly, the ECO level will be down-graded.

In the “vehicle setting”, if you change the
animation mode to "ON", the dynamic
image will be activated.
- This provides the driver with the
dynamic ECO mode.Total eco score display
If your ECO level achieves the top step,
your ECO score automatically saves 1
point.
In the “vehicle setting”, if you change the
animation mode to “ON”, the dynamic
image will be on.SOC Gauge (State of charge)
This State of Charge(SOC) gauge indi-
cates the left Hybrid battery power. If the
SOC is near L level, the vehicle automat-
ically operates the engine to charge the
battery. However, if the service indicator
and MIL(Malfunction indicator lamp) turn
on when the State of Charge(SOC) is
near L(Low), the vehicle should be
towed. Refer to the chapter 6.

Safety features of your vehicle
Seat belts - Front passenger and rear
seat 3-point system with combination
locking retractor
To fasten your seat belt:
Combination retractor type seat belts are
installed in the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child
restraint systems. Although a combina-
tion retractor is also installed in the front
passenger seat position, it is strongly
recommended that children always be
seated in the rear seat. NEVER place
any infant restraint system in the front
seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the fea-
tures of both an emergency locking
retractor seat belt and an automatic lock-
ing retractor seat belt. To fasten your seat
belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab into the buckle. There will
be an audible "click" when the tab locks
into the buckle. When not securing a
child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor Type). It
automatically adjusts to the proper length
only after the lap belt portion of the seat
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips.When the seat belt is fully extended from
the retractor to allow the installation of a
child restraint system, the seat belt oper-
ation changes to allow the belt to retract,
but not to extend (Automatic Locking
Retractor Type). Refer to “Using a child
restraint system” in this section.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Although the combination retractor
provides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emergency
or automatic locking modes, it is recom-
mended that seated passengers use the
emergency locking feature for improved
convenience. The automatic locking
function is intended to facilitate child
restraint installation. To convert from
the automatic locking feature to the
emergency locking operation mode,
allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully
retract.
Rear center seat belt
To fasten the rear center seat belt, insert
the metal tab(1) into the buckle(2) until
an audible "click" is heard. Make sure
that the belt is not twisted and there is
"CENTER" mark on the buckle.

Safety features of your vehicle
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency locking mode), you
must manually change these seat belts
to the automatic locking mode to secure
a child restraint.
Placing a passenger seat belt into
the automatic locking mode
The automatic locking mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and compromise the child
restraint system. To secure a child
restraint system, use the following proce-
dure.
WARNING- Child seat
installation
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly anchored
to the vehicle and the child is not
properly restrained in the child
restraint. Before installing the
child restraint system, read the
instructions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
If the seat belt does not operate
as described in this section, have
the system checked immediately
by your authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Failure to observe this manual's
instructions regarding child
restraint systems and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an accident.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that an
inflating passenger-side air bag
could impact the rear-facing child
restraint and kill the child.

Integrated HomeLink
®Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held radio-fre-
quency (RF) transmitters with a single
built-in device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of most
current transmitters to operate devices
such as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both standard
and rolling code-equipped transmitters
can be programmed by following the out-
lined procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information can be found at: www.home-
link.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515.Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes.
CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink®to
a garage door opener or gate oper-
ator, make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm or
damage. Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and reverse
features required by U.S. federal
safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop
and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. Using
a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of seri-
ous injury or death.
