Maintenance
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner, polish-ing compound, solvent, or wire brushes
on aluminum wheels. They may scratch
or damage the finish.
Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
Use only a mild soap or neutral deter- gent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Also, be sure to clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads. This helps pre-
vent corrosion.
Avoid washing the wheels with high- speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any cleaners containing alkaline or acid detergents. It may
damage and corrode the aluminum
wheels coated with a clear protective
finish.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design and
construction practices to combat corro-
sion, we produce cars of the highest
quality. However, this is only part of the
job. To achieve the long-term corrosion
resistance your vehicle can deliver, the
owner's cooperation and assistance is
also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
on your car are:
allowed to accumulate underneath the
car.
Removal of paint or protective coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor
scrapes and dents which leave unpro-
tected metal exposed to corrosion.WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
CAUTION
Do not wash or drive the vehiclewith the under cover removed.Doing so, could result in damage of the hybrid system.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality.
The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econo my by reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.

Starting the engine
1. Carry the smart key or leave it insidethe 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.
