Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Improper wheel weights can dam-
age your vehicle's aluminum
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.
Tire Replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.
NOTICE
OLMB073027
Tread wear indicatorTo reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tires can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, and
traction.
Always replace tires with the
same size as each tire that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tires and
wheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle's Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
WARNING

When the high voltage battery
is weak
When the high voltage battery is
weak due to driving on a hill for a
long time or accelerating and decel-
erating the vehicle repeatedly, the
acceleration performance may be
lower than usual. In this case, be
cautious not to overtake other vehi-
cles.
If the 12 volt battery is dis-
charged
This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the high voltage
battery. The vehicle has a 12V bat-
tery protection system that cuts 12V
battery from vehicle draw to prevent
full discharge.
If the 12V battery is discharged, you
should try charging it by pressing the
"12V BATT RESET" button.
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 vehicle ( indica-
tor on), move the vehicle outside
and keep the vehicle ready ( )
mode more than 30 minutes safe-
ly to charge the 12V battery.

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 ON
cycle (30 Min+) may cause over dis-
charge of the 12V battery, 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 accelerator pedal
is depressed or not.
❈ ❈
For more details regarding the
jump start, refer to the 'Jump star-
ing' in Owner's manual Chapter 6.
Emergency while driving
If an accident occurs
1. Stop the vehicle, put the gear into
the P (Park) position, set the park-
ing brake, and turn the vehicle off
to prevent the hydrogen and cur-
rent from leaking.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel
cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the current from being generated.
2. Evacuate to the safety place.
3. Call emergency services for help
and let them know the vehicle is a
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle.

11. Can I wash my FCEV with pressurized
water? What if water flows into the fuel
cell power module compartment?
Every component housed in the fuel cell power module compart-
ment is designed to be waterproof like those found in standard vehi-
cles. Therefore, a short circuit of the FCEV cannot happen while
washing the car. However, your FCEV works by utilizing high-voltage
electric power, so it is recommended that you avoid high-pressure car
washes. If the insulation resistance of the FCEV deteriorates due to
car wash, a High voltage warning light may turn on the cluster.
12. When washing the fuel cell power mod-
ule compartment, is there any potential
risk of electric shock resulting from a
high-voltage short circuit?The FCEV is designed to be a waterproof structure, but please
avoid washing the inside of the compartment if possible. Because
there are many high voltage parts in the power module compart-
ment.
13. Can I wash the bottom of the vehicle? If
yes, what should I be aware of?The FCEV is designed to be a waterproof structure, but please
avoid washing the botttom of the vehicle if possible. Because there
are high voltage cables in the under cover.
14. Can driving with a tire chain affect the
drive motor?Driving with a tire chain causes no direct damage to the drive motor.
15. How should I jump start the vehicle?
Try charging it by pressing the "12V BATT RESET" button first.
Refer to the "If the 12 volt battery is discharged" in this guide book.
It it doesn't work, refer to the "Jump starting" in the Owner's manual
chapter 6.

16. Does the FCEV use a different coolant
type from that of standard vehicles?
(Difference between Stack cooling
coolant and Device cooling coolant.)
Stack cooling coolant is an exclusive coolant for the fuel cell, which
is characterized by its use of a non-ionic anti-corrosion agent (an
additive) and very low electric conductivity. In comparison, the
device cooling coolant is a coolant similar to that used in standard
vehicles and has a very high electric conductivity.
If the stack cooling coolant is used with the electrical cooling sys-
tem, it will corrode the electrical system parts. If the device cooling
coolant is used with the fuel cell cooling system, it will damage the
system insulation resistor due to high electric conductivity. This car-
ries the additional risk of shocking the driver (electric shock).
17. What should I be aware of when park-
ing the vehicle? Can I park the FCEV in
an enclosed underground parking lot?
(Risk of hydrogen gas leak.)
Hydrogen gas supply is cutoff after Power-OFF to prevent the hydro-
gen gas from leaking.
18. If the FCEV will be parked for a long
period, what should I do?
For long-term parking situations, a high-voltage battery will gradually
lose its charge [low SOC(State Of Charge)], potentially causing igni-
tion failure.
1. In order to minimize the discharge of the high-voltage battery, turn
off the power using the POWER button and disconnect the (-) ter-
minal of the auxiliary battery (12 V) from the vehicle.
2. To recharge the high-voltage battery, it is recommended that you
drive your FCEV two or three times a month, for no less than 10
minutes or 2 miles (3 km) during each session.
3. If the vehicle does not startup, press the "12V BATT RESET" but-
ton or jump start the vehicle. Otherwise contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
