2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Motor compartment

H8Information
In the hybrid system, the engine auto-
matically 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 con- dition of the hybrid battery
Special features of hybrid
vehicle
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may
hear a sound from the hybrid battery
system behind the rear seat. 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 compart-
ment. None of these sounds indicate
a problem. These are normal charac-
teristics 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.
When the hybrid system is turned
ON, the engine may run or may not.
In this situation, you may feel a vibra-
tion. This does not indicate a mal-
function. When the “ ” indicator
illuminates, the hybrid system is ready
to start. Even if the engine is off, you
can operate the vehicle as long as the
“ ” indicator is illuminated.

■
High voltage battery system * 2Never touch orange colored or
high voltage labeled compo-
nents, including wires, cables,
and connections. When the insu-
lators or covers are damaged or
removed, severe injury or death
from electrocution may occur.
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.
(Continued)
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.
