Introduction
NOTICE indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in vehicle damage.This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov-
ernmental safety and vehicle regula-
tions.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
If you use unauthorized electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorized
electronic devices. HYUNDAI promotes an environmen-
tally sound treatment for end of life
vehicles and offers to take back your
HYUNDAI end of life vehicles inaccordance with the European Union
(EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.
You can get detailed information
from your national HYUNDAI home-
page.

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.

Energy flow
The hybrid system informs the driv-
ers its energy flow in various operat-
ing modes. While driving, the current
energy flow is specified in 11 modes.
Vehicle Stop
The vehicle is stopped.
(No energy flow)
EV Propulsion
Only the motor power is used to drive
the vehicle.

Starting the vehicle
Vehicles with remote key system
1.Make sure the parking brake isapplied.
2.Make sure the shift lever is in P (Park).
3.Depress the brake pedal.
4.Turn the ignition swich to the START position. Hold the key
(maximum of 10 senconds) nutil
the " " comes on and release it. Whether the engine is cold or
warm, it should be started without
depressing the accelerator.
After following the start proce-
dures, “ ” indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn on.
For more information, please checkChapter 5.
Vehicles with smart key system
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 P (Park) with the shift lever in N (Neutral),
you cannot start the vehicle.
4.Depress the brake pedal.
5.Press the Engine Start/Stop but- ton. If the hybrid system starts, the
" " indicator will come on. Whether the engine is cold or
warm, it should be started without
depressing the accelerator.
After following the start proce-
dures, “ ” indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn on.
For more information, please checkChapter 5. ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA- TION of Hybrid system
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Do not
make "jack-rabbit" starts. Do not
race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear out.
The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle deceler-
ates.
When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine run with the shift lever in N (Neutral), the hybrid sys-
tem cannot generate electricity. The
hybrid battery cannot recharge with
the shift lever in N (Neutral).
