Before Jump Starting
This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the HEV high
voltage battery. The vehicle has a
12V battery protection system that
cuts 12V battery from vehicle draw to
prevent full discharge.
Using the 12V Battery Reset
Switch
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset
switch to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 sec-
onds of pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch.
3. After starting the vehicle (
indicator on), operate the vehicle
safely outdoors in ready mode
stopped and/or drive it for 30 min-
utes total to charge the 12V bat-
tery fully.If you do not start the vehicle imme-
diately after pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch, the power of 12V bat-
tery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V
battery from additional discharge. If
the 12V battery is disconnected prior
to starting the vehicle, press the 12V
Battery Reset switch again and then
immediately start the vehicle as
explained.
Repeated use of the 12V Battery
Reset switch without a sufficient
engine ON cycle (30 Min+) may
cause over discharge of the 12V bat-
tery, which will prevent the vehicle
from starting. If the 12V battery is
over discharged to a point that the
reset does not work, try to jump-start
the vehicle.
Information
After starting the vehicle ( indica-
tor on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the engine is running
or not. Although there is no engine-
sound, it is unnecessary to depress the
accelerator pedal.

What to do in an emergency
Always check the TPMS malfunction
LCD display after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.
If any of the below happens, have
the system checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
1. The Low Tire Pressure TPMS
Malfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when
the Engine Start/Stop button is
placed to the ON position or the
vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tire Pressure LCD dis-
play remains illuminated
Low Tire Pressure
Telltale
Low Tire
Pressure LCD
Display with
Position Indicator
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and the warning message is
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The LCD posi-
tion indicator will indicate which tire
is significantly under-inflated by illu-
minating the corresponding position
light.If any of your tire pressures are indi-
cated as being low, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering, and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle's placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver's side cen-
ter pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tire cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator will remain on and the
TPMS Malfunction Indicator may
blink for one minute and then remain
illuminated until you have the low
pressure tire repaired and replaced
on the vehicle.
The spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure sensor.

Maintenance
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.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear. It
is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval in this chapter to
achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle
The HYUNDAI Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid elec-
tric vehicle and an all-electric vehicle.
When used as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and
the electric motor or even both at the same time.
When it is operating in the electric vehicle mode, the vehicle is driven only using the electric motor over a certain dis-
tance until the hybrid battery becomes low. The driving distance in EV mode depends on customer driving style and
road conditions. Aggressive driving maneuvers may at times temporarily enable the engine to operate for maximum
power.
The hybrid battery can be fully charged by connecting a plug to an external electric power source.

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
