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 " " indicator 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 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 being
charged
- Depending on the temperature con-
dition of the hybrid battery
Special Features 
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
petrol 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 petrol engine may run or
may not. In this situation, you may
feel a vibration. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. When the “ ”
indicator illuminates, the hybrid sys-
tem is ready to begin start. Even if the
engine is off, you can operate the
vehicle as long as the “  ” indicator
is illuminated.

Charging Cable
Connection Indicator 
(Plug-in hybrid vehicle)
This indicator illuminates in red when
the charging cable is connected.
Regenerative Brake
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates :
When the regenerative brake is not
operating. This causes the Brake
Warning light (red) and Regenerative
Brake Warning Light (yellow) to illu-
minate simultaneously as soon as
possible.
In this case, drive safely and have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
The service brake still function, how-
ever, the operation of the brake pedal
may be more difficult than normal
and the braking distance can
increase.
