• This vehicle should not be modi-
fied. Modification of your vehicle
could affect its performance, safety
or durability and may even violate
governmental safety and emis-
sions regulations.
In addition, damage or perform-
ance problems resulting from any
modification 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.By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.HYUNDAI promotes an environmen-
tally sound treatment for end of life
vehicles and offers to take back your
HYUNDAI end of life vehicles in
accordance with the European Union
(EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.

HEV (HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE) SYSTEM
Hybrid Vehicle
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.

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle
The HYUNDAI Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid elec-
tric vehicle and an all-electric vehicle.
When used as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and
the electric motor or even both at the same time.
When it is operating in the electric vehicle mode, the vehicle is driven only using the electric motor over a certain dis-
tance until the hybrid battery becomes low. The driving distance in EV mode depends on customer driving style and
road conditions. Aggressive driving maneuvers may at times temporarily enable the engine to operate for maximum
power.
The hybrid battery can be fully charged by connecting a plug to an external electric power source.

Charging Information
•Normal Charge :
The plug-in hybrid vehicle is
charged by plugging into a normal
charger installed in your home or a
public charging station. (For further
details, refer to the 'Normal
Charge'.)•Trickle Charge :
The plug-in hybrid vehicle can be
charged by using household elec-
tricity. The electrical outlet in your
home must comply with regulations
and can safely accommodate the
Voltage / Current (Amps) / Power
(Watts) ratings specified on the
portable charge.
Charging Time
•Normal Charge :
Takes approximately 2 hours 15
minutes at room temperature. (Can
be charged to 100%.)
Information
Depending on the condition and dura-
bility of the high voltage battery, charg-
er specifications, and ambient tempera-
ture, the time required for charging the
high voltage battery may vary.

Scheduled Charging
(if equipped)
• You can set-up a charging sched-
ule for your vehicle using the AVN
or BlueLink application.
Refer to the Multimedia manual or
the BlueLink manual for detailed
information about setting sched-
uled charging.
• Scheduled charging can only be
done when using a normal charger
or the portable charger (ICCB: In-
Cable Control Box).• When scheduled charging is set
and the normal charger or the
portable charger (ICCB: In-Cable
Control Box) is connected for
charging, the indicator lamp in the
middle blinks (for 3 minutes) to
indicate that scheduled charging is
set.
• When scheduled charging is set,
charging is not initiated immediate-
ly when the normal charger or
portable charger (ICCB: In-Cable
Control Box) is connected. When
immediate charging is required,
use the AVN to deactivate the
scheduled charge setting or press
scheduled charging deactivation
( ) button.• If you press the scheduled charg-
ing deactivation ( ) button to
immediately charge the battery,
charging must be initiated 3 min-
utes after the charging cable has
been connected.
When you press the scheduled
charging deactivation ( ) button
for immediate charging, the sched-
uled charge setting is not com-
pletely deactivated. If you need to
completely deactivate the sched-
uled charge setting, use the AVN
to finalize the deactivation.
Refer to "Normal Charge or Trickle
Charge" for details about connecting
the normal charger and the portable
charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box).
