HHEEVV (( HH YY BBRRIIDD EE LLEE CCTT RR IICC VV EEHH IICC LLEE )) SS YY SSTT EEMM
The HYUNDAI Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the gasoline engine and the electric motor for power. The elec-
tric motor is run by a 270V high-voltage HEV battery.
Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and the electric motor
or even both at the same time.
Fuel efficiency increases when the engine is at idle, or when the vehicle is driven by the electric motor with the HEV bat-
tery.
The HEV battery charge must be maintained, so at times the engine will come on even at idle to act as a generator.
Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative braking.

The hybrid system contains many
electronic components. High volt-
age components, such as cables
and other parts, may emit electro-
magnetic waves. Even when the
electromagnetic cover blocks elec-
tromagnetic emissions, electro-
magnetic waves may have an effect
on electronic appliances. When
your vehicle is not for a long period
of time, the hybrid system will dis-
charge. You need to drive the vehi-
cle several times a month. We rec-
ommend driving at least for 1 hour
or 16 km. When the hybrid battery is
discharged, or when it is impossi-
ble to jump start the vehicle, con-
tact your HYUNDAI dealer.
Virtual Engine Sound System(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear vehicle sound becausethere is limited sound while motor
power is used.
What Does RegenerativeBraking Do?
It uses an electric motor when decel-
erating and braking and transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in
order to charge the high voltage bat-
tery.
Battery
The vehicle is composed of a high- voltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode.
NOTICE
When you start the hybrid
system with the shift lever in
P (Parking), the “ ” indica-tor illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster. The driver can
drive the vehicle, even whenthe engine is stopped.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn OFF the
hybrid system or locate the
shift lever in P (Park). When
you depress the accelerator
pedal by mistake, or when the
shift lever is not in P (Park),
the vehicle will abruptly move,
possibly resulting in serious
injury or death.

WARNING
While replacing the fuses in the
engine compartment, never
touch the HPCU. The HPCU car-
ries high voltage. Touching the
HPCU may result in electrocu-
tion, serious injury, or death.
WARNING
(Continued)
Never touch the hybrid system.
When you touch the hybrid bat-
tery system, serious injury or
death may occur.
In the hybrid system, the hybrid
battery uses high voltage tooperate the motor and other
components. This high voltage
hybrid battery system can be
very dangerous.

WARNING
Do not pile up any items in an
area behind the high voltage
battery. In a crash, the battery
may become unstable, or its
performance may degrade.
Do not apply strong force nor
pile up any items above the
trunk. Such an attempt may
distort the high voltage battery
case, causing a safety problem
or degrading the performance.
Be careful when loading
inflammable liquid in trunk. Itcould cause operational and
safety degradation if the liq-
uid leaks and flows in high
voltage battery

Do not disassemble the high
voltage motor connector. The
high voltage motor connector
may contain residual high
voltage. Coming in contact
with high voltage may result
in death or serious injury.
Your vehicle's hybrid system
should only be inspected or
repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not disassemble or assem-
ble the high voltage battery
system. Doing so may result
in electric shock, causing
death or serious injury.
If you disassemble or assem-
ble hybrid system compo-
nents improperly, it may dam-
age the performance and reli-
ability of your vehicle.
If electrolyte comes in contact
with your body, clothes or
eyes, immediately flush with a
large quantity of fresh tap
water. Have your eyes exam-
ined by a doctor as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Never assemble or disassemble
the high voltage battery system.
If you assemble or disassem-
ble the high voltage battery
system, the durability and per-
formance of the vehicle may be
damaged.
When you want to check the
high voltage battery system,
have the vehicle checked and
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not touch the high voltage
battery and high voltage cable
connected to motor (orange
color). Severe burns and elec-
tric shock may occur. For your
safety, do not touch the cover
of electronic components and
electronic cable. Do not remove
the cover of electronic compo-
nents and electronic cable. In
particular, never touch the high
voltage battery system when
the hybrid system in operation.
It may result in death or serious
injury.

When the vehicle is paint baked,do not bake over 30 minutes in
70°C (158°F) or 20 minutes in
80°C (176°F) degree.
Do not wash the engine compart- ment, using water. Water may
cause an electric shock to and
damage the electronic.
NOTICE
Never use the package mod-
ules (high voltage battery,
inverter and converter) for any
other purpose.
Do not use an unauthorized
battery charger to charge the
high voltage battery. Doing so
may result in death or serious
injury.
Never locate the high voltage
system near or in a fire.
Never drill into or strike the
package module. Otherwise, it
may be damaged. An electric
shock may occur, resulting in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
This hybrid vehicle uses the
hybrid battery system inverter
and converter to generate high
voltage. High voltage in the
hybrid battery system is very
dangerous and may cause
severe burns and electric
shock. This may result in seri-
ous injury or death.
For your safety, never touch,
replace, disassemble or remove
the hybrid battery system
including components, cables
and connectors. Severe burns
or electric shock may result in
serious injury or death when
you fail to follow this warning.
When the hybrid battery sys-
tem operates, the hybrid bat-
tery system can be hot. Always
be careful because burns or
electric shock may be caused
by high voltage.
