2. Check if the power lamp (green)
illuminates on the control box.
3. Depress the brake pedal and
apply the parking brake.
4. Turn OFF all switches, shift to P
(Park), and turn OFF the vehicle.5. Press center edge of the charging
door to open the charging door.
Information
The charging door opens only when
the door is unlocked.
6. Check if there is dust on the
charging connector and charging
inlet.7. Hold the charging connector han-
dle and connect it to the vehicle
AC charging inlet. Push the con-
nector until you hear a "clicking"
sound. If the charging connector
and charging terminal are not con-
nected properly, this may cause a
fire.

Starting the Vehicle
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.
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
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.

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.
