All Season Tires
HYUNDAI specifies all season tires
on some models to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow
tires have better snow traction than
all season tires and may be more
appropriate in some areas.
Summer Tires
HYUNDAI specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have the tire traction rat-
ing M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
side wall. If you plan to operate your
vehicle in snowy or icy conditions,
HYUNDAI recommends the use of
snow tires or all season tires on all
four wheels.
Snow Tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result. Snow
tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires
on the tire label on the driver’s side of
the center pillar, or up to the maxi-
mum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.
Radial-Ply Tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high speed ride. The radi-
al-ply tires used on this vehicle are of
belted construction, and are selected
to complement the ride and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
Radial-ply tires have the same load
carrying capacity, as bias-ply or bias
belted tires of the same size, and use
the same recommended inflation
pressure. Mixing of radial-ply tires
with bias-ply or bias belted tires is
not recommended. Any combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when used on the same
vehicle will seriously deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-
low is: Identical pairs of radial-ply
tires should always be used as a set
for the front tires and a set for the
rear tires.

Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. While
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as
fuel, electric vehicles use electrical
energy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. As a result,
electric vehicles are eco-friendly in
that they do not require fuel and do
not emit exhaust gases.
Characteristics of Electric
Vehicles
1. It is driven using the electrical
energy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. This method
prevents air pollution since fuel,
like gasoline, is not required,
negating the emission of exhaust
gases.
2. A high performance motor is used
in the vehicle as well. Compared
to standard, internal combustion
engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are much more minimal
when driving.
3. When decelerating or driving
downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimizes energy
loss and increases the distance to
empty.
4. When the battery charge is not
sufficient, AC charge, DC charge
and trickle charge are available.
(Refer to "Charge Types for
Electric Vehicle" for details.)
Information
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses the electric motor when decel-
erating or braking which transforms
vehicle motion (kinetic energy) to elec-
trical energy to charge the high volt-
age batteries. (Torque is applied in the
opposite direction when decelerating
to generate braking force and electric
energy.)
Battery Information
• 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 sys-
tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati-
cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.

High Voltage Battery (lithium-
ion polymer)
The charge amount of the high
voltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
driving.
The battery capacity of the high
voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures.
Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving condi-
tions, even if the charge amount is
the same. The high voltage battery
may expend more energy when
driving at high speed or uphill.
These actions may reduce the dis-
tance to empty.
The high voltage battery is used
when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty. Make sure to set
moderate temperatures when
using the air-conditioner/heater.
Natural degradation may occur
with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty. When the charge capacity and dis-
tance to empty keep falling, con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er for inspection and maintenance.
If the vehicle will not be in use for
an extended period of time, charge
the high voltage battery once every
three months to prevent it from dis-
charging. Also, if the charge
amount is not enough, immediate-
ly charge to full and store the vehi-
cle.
AC charge is recommended to
keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery per-
formance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage battery
to 100%. (Once a month or more is
recommended.)Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using dif-
ferent types of chargers may
have a serious impact on vehi-
cle durability.
Make sure that the high volt-
age battery charger gauge
does not reach ''L (Low)". If the
vehicle is kept at ''L (Low)" for
a long period, it may damage
the high voltage battery and
the high voltage battery may
have to be replaced depending
on the level of degradation.
If the vehicle is in a collision,
contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to inspect whether the
high voltage battery is still con-
nected.

CO2 reduction
The CO2 reduction display allows
you to monitor the benefits of
reduced greenhouse gas emissions
of your EV relative to a conventional
gasoline vehicle. While driving your
vehicle, the display estimates the
amount of reduced CO2 that would
have been emitted from tailpipe
emissions of a conventional vehicle.
Driving history
The driving history displays informa-
tion from the last several driving
cycles including date, distance trav-
eled and energy efficiency rate. A
star icon indicates the driving cycle
with the most efficient energy con-
sumption rate.

H13
This is primarily due to reduced per-
formance of the EV battery when
exposed to cold temperatures.
Some vehicles may come equipped
with Winter mode selectable option.
The Winter mode feature can be
selected in the EV Settings menu.
When selected, Winter mode
enables the use of the EV battery
coolant heater. This mode is recom-
mended to improve EV battery per-
formance in cold climate conditions.
Note that EV range may reduce
when Winter mode is enabled, as
electrical energy is used to maintain
the EV battery temperature.
Winter mode enables operation of
the EV battery coolant heater. While
driving your vehicle, if the battery
temperature is low or the A/C and/or
heater is turned ON, the EV battery
coolant heater will be used.
Note that the EV battery coolant
heater will not be used when the EV
battery SOC is low.
❈This mode is available for the vehi-
cles equipped with the battery
heater.Warning
You can select or deselect the Range
Warning.
- Range Warning: If the destination
set in the navigation cannot be
reached with the remaining EV bat-
tery charge level, a warning mes-
sage is displayed.
EV route
If EV route is selected, EV related
information will show on the route.
You can check the distance the vehi-
cle can be driven with the current EV
battery charge level % along the
route.
An icon is also indicated so the driv-
er is able to search for nearby charg-
ing stations.

When destination is not set
On average, a vehicle can drive
about 168 miles (271 km). Under
certain circumstances where the
air conditioner/heater is ON, the
distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance
range from 118~217 miles
(190~350 km). When using the
heater during cold weather or driv-
ing at high speed, the high voltage
battery consumes a lot more elec-
tricity. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty significantly.
After "__" has been displayed, the
vehicle may be stopped depending
on heater/air conditioner, weather,
driving style, and other factors. Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after
completing a recharge may vary
significantly depending on previ-
ous operating patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, result-
ing in the high voltage battery
using more electricity than usual,
the estimated distance to empty is
reduced. When the high voltage
battery uses little electricity in ECO
mode, the estimated distance to
empty increases.
Distance to empty may depend on
many factors such as the charge
amount of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, durability of
the battery, geographical features,
and driving style.
Natural degradation may occur
with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty.
When destination is set
When the destination is set, the dis-
tance to empty may change. The dis-
tance to empty is recalculated using
the information of the destination.
However, the distance to empty may
vary significantly based on traffic
conditions, driving habits, and condi-
tion of the vehicle.
