Introduction
NOTICE indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in vehicle damage.
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you use unleaded
gasoline which has an octane rating of
RON (Research Octane Number) 95 /
AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.
You may use unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of RON 91-94 / AKI
87-90 but it may result in slight per-
formance reduction of the vehicle. (Do
not use methanol blended fuels)
Except Europe
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
87 or higher. (Do not use methanol
blended fuels)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and will
damage the engine control sys-
tem’s oxygen sensor and affect
emission control.
Never add any fuel system clean-
ing agents to the fuel tank other
than what has been specified (We
recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
details.)
NOTICE
NOTICE
•Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.
•Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moder-
ate injury.

H127. Check if the charging indicator
light of the high voltage battery on
the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when
the charging indicator lamp is
OFF.
When the charging connector and
charging plug are not connected
properly, reconnect the charging
cable to charge.
Information
• Even though charging is possible
with the ignition switch in the
ON/START position, for your safe-
ty, start charging when the ignition
switch is in the LOCK/OFF position
and the vehicle shifted to P (Park).
After charging has started, you can
use electrical components such as
the radio by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC or ON position.
• During normal charging, the radio
reception may be bad.
• 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),
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, and discon-
nect the charging cable. Then, con-
nect the charging cable.8. After charging has started, the esti-
mated charging time is displayed on
the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
If you open the driver seat door while
charging, the estimated charging
time is also displayed on the instru-
ment cluster for about 1 minute.
When scheduled charging is set, the
estimated charging time is displayed
as “--" .
Information
Depending on the condition and dura-
bility of the high voltage battery,
charger specifications, and ambient
temperature, the time required for
charging the battery may vary.

Starting the Vehicle
Vehicles with remote key system
1.Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
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) until
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 check
Chapter 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 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 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).
DRIVING THE HYBRID/PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE

H28
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 devices. 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 because
there is limited sound while motor
power is used.
• The VESS may be turned ON or
OFF by pressing the VESS button.
(if equipped)
• If the vehicle is moving at low
speed, the VESS will operate.
• When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
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 when
the 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.

Stop vehicle and check power
supply
This message is displayed when a
failure occurs in the power supply
system.
In this case, park the vehicle in a
safe location and we recommend
that you tow your vehicle to the near-
est authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the vehicle inspected.
Stop vehicle to charge battery
This message is displayed when the
hybrid battery power (SOC) level is
low.
In this case, park the vehicle in a
safe location and wait until the hybrid
battery is charged.
You can increase the hybrid battery
charging rate by holding the acceler-
ator pedal to the floor with transmis-
sion in P. The engine will rev high but
it will be limited for charging purpose
when you hold the pedal to the floor.
Refuel to prevent Hybrid battery
damage
This message is displayed when the
fuel tank is nearly empty.
You should refill the fuel tank to pre-
vent hybrid battery damage.
