2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid stop start

H6
Starting the engine
1. Carry the smart key or leave it inside
the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.
3. Place the shift lever in the P(Park)
position. In N(Neutral) position, you
can not start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the engine start/stop button.
6. In extremely cold weather or after the
vehicle has not been operated for sev-
eral days, let the engine warm up with-
out depressing the accelerator.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing
the accelerator.

if it is far away from you, the engine
may not start.

in the ACC or ON position, if any door
is open, the system checks for the
smart key. If the smart key is not in
the vehicle, the warning, "Key is not
in vehicle" will come on, and if all
doors are closed, the chime will also
sound for about 5 seconds. The indi-
cator will turn off while the vehicle is
moving. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when using the ACC position
or if the vehicle engine is on.If the starting procedure is followed,
the "READY" symbol on the instru-
ment cluster will turn on. For more
details, please check Chapter 5.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA-
TION of Hybrid system
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts.
Don't race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
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 runs in "N" position,
the hybrid system can not generate
electricity. The hybrid battery cannot
recharge in "N" position. Please check
Chapter 5.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
In the hybrid system, the engine auto-
matically runs and stops. If the hybrid
system operates, the "READY" symbol
is illuminated.
In the following situation, the engine
may operate automatically.
- When the engine is ready to run
- When the hybrid battery is charged
- Depending on the temperature condi-
tion of the hybrid battery
STARTING THE HYBRID VEHICLE (SMART KEY)
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, turn off
ignition and be sure "READY" lamp
is off before working under hood.
Engine may start unexpectedly.

H11
When the hybrid system is turned on, the
engine may run or not. In this situation,
you may feel a vibration. This does not
indicate a malfunction. If the "READY"
symbol is turned on, the hybrid system
starts. Even if the engine is off, you can
operate the vehicle as long as the
"READY" symbol is illuminated.Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System gener-
ates engine sound for pedestrians to
hear vehicle sound because there is no
sound while motor power is used.
WARNING
When you start the hybrid system
in the "P" transmission position,
the "READY" symbol is illuminat-
ed in the cluster. The driver can
drive the vehicle even if the
engine is stopped.
When you leave the vehicle, you
should turn off the hybrid system
or shift into the "P" position. If
you depress the accelerator pedal
by mistake and the vehicle is not
in the "P" position, the vehicle will
move abruptly. This may result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
The hybrid system contains many
electronic components. High volt-
age components like cables and
other parts may emit electromag-
netic waves. Even if the electromag-
netic cover blocks electromagnetic
emissions, electromagnetic waves
may have an effect on electronic
appliances. If you park the vehicle
for a long time, the hybrid system
will discharge. You need to drive the
vehicle several times per month. We
recommend driving at least 1 hour
or 10 miles when you drive the vehi-
cle. If the hybrid battery is dis-
charged and if it is impossible to
jump start the vehicle contact your
Hyundai dealer.

H13
If An Accident Occurs
WARNING
After parking the vehicle, shift the
transmission into "P" position.
Turn off the hybrid system by
pushing the Engine Start/Stop
button.
For your safety, do not touch high
voltage cables, connectors and
package modules. High Voltage
components are orange in color.
Exposed cables or wires may be
visible inside or outside of the
vehicle. Never touch the wires or
cables, because an electrical
shock may occur causing injury
or death.
If a fire occurs,
to extinguish a small high-voltage
battery fire, the following tech-
niques can be used:
- Dry chemical
- CO2
- Large amounts of water
- Regular foam
(Continued)
WARNING
If a vehicle accident occurs:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift the

And then depress the parking
brake.
2. Turn off the Hybrid system by
pushing the Engine Start/Stop
button.
3. Evacuate to the safety place.
4. Call emergency services for help
and let them know the vehicle is a
Hybrid vehicle.
Do not touch high voltage cables,
connectors and package modules.
High voltage components are
orange in color.
Exposed cables or wires may be
visible inside or outside of the vehi-
cle. Never touch the wires or
cables, because an electrical shock
may occur causing injury or death.
(Continued)
For a large high-voltage battery
fire, use these types of extinguish-
ing methods:
- Large amounts of water
- Fog
- Regular foam
If you need towing, refer to chapter
6.

H14
When the hybrid vehicle shuts off
When the high voltage battery is dis-
charged, or the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged, or the fuel tank is empty, the
hybrid system may not operate while
driving. If the Hybrid system cannot oper-
ate, do the following:
1. Reduce the vehicle speed gradually.
Pull your vehicle off the road in a safe
area.
2. Shift the transmission into "P" position.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
4. Set the start button at OFF, and try to
start the Hybrid system by applying the
brake pedal and pushing the Engine
Start/Stop button.
5. If the Hybrid system will not operate,
refer to "EMERGENCY STARTING" in
chapter 6.
If you try to jump start the vehicle, confirm
the fuel level and exact procedure of jump
start. For details, see the "EMERGENCY
STARTING" section in chapter 6. If the
fuel level is low, do not try to drive the
vehicle on battery power. The high volt-
age battery may be discharged and the
Hybrid system will turn off.
WARNING
If a fire occurs:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift the
transmission in to "P" position,
and then depress the parking
brake. To ventilate smoke from a
fire, open the windows if possible.
2. Turn off the Hybrid system by
pushing the Engine Start/Stop
button.
3. Leave the vehicle and evacuate to
the safety place.
4. Call emergency services for help
and let them know the vehicle is a
Hybrid vehicle.
If you have an extinguisher, extin-
guish a fire carefully.
Do not touch high voltage cables,
connectors and package modules.
High voltage components are
orange in color.
Exposed cables or wires may be
visible inside or outside of the vehi-
cle. Never touch the wires or
cables, because an electrical shock
may occur causing injury or death.
WARNING
If a submersion in water occurs:
If your vehicle was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you should not try to start
the Hybrid system. Never touch the
high voltage cables, connectors
and package modules, because an
electrical shock may occur causing
injury or death. High Voltage cables
are orange in color.
Have the car towed to an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
