10. Check if the charging cable con-
nection indicator of the high volt-
age battery in the instrument
cluster is turned ON.
Charging does not occur when
the indicator is OFF. When the
charging connector is not con-
nected properly, reconnect the
charging cable to charge.
Information
• The charging is in progress only with the shift lever is in P (Park).
Charging the battery with the
Engine Start/Stop button in the
ACC position is possible. However,
it may discharge the 12-V battery.
Thus, if possible, charge the battery
with the Engine Start/Stop button in
the OFF position.
• Moving the shift lever from P (Park) to R (Reverse)/N(Neutral)/D (Drive)
stops the charging process.
To restart the charging process,
move the shift lever to P (Park),
press the Engine Start/Stop button
to the OFF position, and disconnect
the charging cable. Then, connect
the charging cable and restart the
vehicle again. 11. After charging has started, the
estimated charging time is dis-
played on the instrument cluster
for about 1 minute. It is also dis-
played, when the driver’s door is
opened with charging in progress.
When scheduled charging is set,
the estimated charging time is dis-
played as "--".

How to DisconnectPortableCharging Cable(ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)
1. Before disconnecting the charging
connector, make sure the doors
are unlocked. When the door is
locked, the charging connector
lock system will not allow discon-
nection.
In order to disconnect the charg-
ing connector, unlock the doors to
unlatch the charging connector
lock system. If not, the charging
connector and the vehicle's charg-
ing inlet may be damaged. 2. Hold the charging connector han-
dle and pull it while pressing the
release button (1).
When disconnecting the charging
connector, do not try to discon-
nect it by force while not pressing
the release button. This may dam-
age the charging connector and
vehicle charging inlet. 3. Make sure to securely close the
charging inlet cover.
4. Make sure to securely close the charging door.

5. Disconnect the plug from the
household electric outlet. Do not
pull the cable when disconnecting
the plug.
6. Close the protective cover for the charging connector so that foreign
material cannot get into the termi-
nal.
7. Put the charging cable inside the cable compartment to protect it.
Precautions for PortableCharging Cable(ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)
Use the portable charging cable
that is certified by HYUNDAI.
Do not try to repair, disassemble, or adjust the portable charging
cable.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter.
Stop using immediately if failure warning light occurs.
Do not touch the plug and charging connector with wet hands.
Do not touch the terminal part of the normal charging connector and
the normal charging inlet on the
vehicle.
Do not connect the charging con- nector to voltage that does not
comply with regulations.
Do not use the portable charging cable if it is worn out, exposed, or
there exists any type of damage on
the portable charging cable. If the ICCB case and normal
charging connector is damaged,
cracked, or the wires are exposed
in any way, do not use the portable
charging cable.
Do not let children operate or touch the portable charging cable.
Keep the control box free of water.
Keep the normal charging connec- tor or plug terminal free of foreign
substances.
Do not step on the cable or cord. Do not pull the cable or cord and
do not twist or bend it.
Do not charge when there is light- ning.
Do not drop the control box or place a heavy object on the control
box.

H21
Do not place an object that cangenerate high temperatures near
the charger when charging.
Charging with the worn out or dam- aged household electric outlet can
result in a risk of electric shock. If
you are in doubt to the household
electric outlet condition, have it
checked by a licensed electrician.
Stop using the portable charging cable immediately if the household
electric outlet or any components
is overheated or you notice burnt
odors.

Starting the vehicle
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 and a
double chime can be heard.
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
check Chapter 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 is running with the shift lever in N (Neutral), the
hybrid system cannot generate
electricity. The hybrid battery can-
not recharge with the shift lever in N
(Neutral).
Information
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 beingcharged
- Depending on the temperature con- dition of the hybrid battery
i
To avoid serious injury, turn off
hybrid system and be sure " "
indicator is off before working
under hood. Engine may start
unexpectedly.
WARNING

H23
Special features
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 gasoline engine may acti-
vate or may not. In this situation, you
may feel a vibration. This does not
indicate a malfunction. When the
" " indicator illuminates, the
hybrid system is ready to begin driv-
ing. Even if the engine is off, you can
operate the vehicle as long as the
" " indicator is illuminated. 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 used for
a long period of time, the hybrid
system will discharge. You need to
drive the vehicle several times a
month. We recommend driving at
least for 1 hour or 10 miles. When
the hybrid battery is discharged,
or when it is impossible to jump
start the vehicle, contact your
HYUNDAI dealer.
