2020 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid regenerative

H29
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 devices. 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.

Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sounds for pedes-
trians to hear vehicle sound because
there is limited sound while electric
power is used.
What Does Regenerative
Braking Do?
It uses an electric motor when decel-
erating and when braking and trans-
forms kinetic energy to electrical
energy in order to charge the high
voltage battery.
Battery
Hybrid vehicle
- The vehicle is composed of a
high voltage battery that drives
the motor and air conditioner, and
an integrated 12V lithium ion
polymer battery with the HEV
battery that drives the lamps,
wipers, and audio system.
- The integrated 12V battery is
automatically charged when the
vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode.
Plug-in hybrid vehicle
- The vehicle is composed of a
high voltage battery that drives
the motor and air-conditioner,
and an auxiliary battery (12 V)
that drives the lamps, wipers, and
audio system.
- The auxiliary battery is automati-
cally charged when the vehicle is
in the ready ( ) mode.
When you start the hybrid
system with the shift lever in
P (Park), the " " indicator
illuminates on the instrument
cluster. The driver can drive
the vehicle, even when the
gasoline engine is off.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn OFF the vehi-
cle and place the shift lever in
P (Park). If you depress the
accelerator pedal by mistake,
or when the shift lever is not in
P (Park), the vehicle will
abruptly move, possibly result-
ing in serious injury or death.

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 author-
ized 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.
LCD Display Messages
Check Hybrid system
This message is displayed when
there is a problem with the hybrid
control system.
Refrain from driving when the warn-
ing message is displayed.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Check Hybrid system.
Turn engine Off
This message is displayed when
there is a problem with the hybrid
system. The " " indicator will blink
and a warning chime will sound until
the problem is solved.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
