What to do in an emergency
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. If
your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver's responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly. Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.

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.

If a fire 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. If the fire is small, which can be
extinguished with fire extinguisher,
use carbon dioxide extinguisher.
You can also extinguish the fire
with water when the vehicle power
is turned off.If the fire is too big to be extinguished
with the fire extinguisher, evacuate
from the vehicle, call the fire depart-
ment, and let them know the vehicle
is a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle. Do not
come close to the vehicle until the
fire is totally extinguished.
Emergency venting of hydrogen
gas
If the temperature near the safety
valve located at the rear under vehi-
cle is over 110°C caused by a fire or
other reasons, the safety valve will
open to vent hydrogen gas. Venting
the hydrogen gas makes a loud
noise because the venting speed is
very fast. Stay well away from the
vehicle. This jet stream of hydrogen
gas could ignite.
If a submersion in water occurs
If your vehicle was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on the
flooring, you should not try to start
the vehicle by pressing the POWER
button.
Call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Do not use water to extinguish a
fire when the vehicle power is
turned on. Serious electric
shock may result.

If you have a flat tire while driv-
ing
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put
the gear into the P (Park) position.
3. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
If the vehicle stalls while driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the vehicle again. If
your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the vehicle stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the gear in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
Exhaust pipe
The FCEV is driven by electricity
which is generated when the oxygen
in the air and the hydrogen in the
vehicle is combined. The principle is
the opposite of the electrolysis of
water; the decomposition of water
making hydrogen and oxygen.
The FCEV is emission-free and
water is created when the hydrogen
and oxygen reacts in the process of
making the electricity. Some water
may be discharged through the
exhaust pipe when the vehicle is
turned off after driving. This is normal
but be careful in winter as the puddle
made by the exhausted water may
freeze resulting in accident.
Also, take cautious as the exhausted
steam may reach the vehicle parked
in the back when you turn off the
vehicle in winter.

overview
(10 items)
1. Does a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicle (FCEV) have similar performance
to standard, non-electric vehicles?FCEV performance characteristics are generally equivalent to stan-
dard vehicles, but with better noise control.
2. If water floods the fuel cell power module
compartment, due to heavy rain or flood-
ing for example, will it have any effect on
the vehicle?
Every component housed in the fuel cell power module compart-
ment is designed to be waterproof through evaluation which meets
the IP69K standard, so you don't have to worry about any potential
faults or safety problems if water contacts the fuel cell. However, if
the vehicle is fully flooded, have the vehicle checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
3. When starting or stopping the vehicle,
there's a noise. Is this noise cause for
concern?
The sound you hear is normal. The noise emanates from the blower
motor starting up to remove any residual water vapor in the fuel cell
system.Also, when you turn on the vehicle you may hear a brief oper-
ation sound from the hydrogen storage system which is located on the
back of the vehicle. This is a normal sound which is occurred when the
system tries to balance the pressure between the hydrogen tanks.
4. Is there a possibility that extremely cold
weather can prevent vehicle startup?
In most instances, the vehicle can get startup in cold weather with-
out any problems. However, the vehicle may not start if the vehicle is
parked with the ignition off for over a week in cold temperatures. In
this case, turn on the vehicle 2-3 times repeatedly. If you will not be
turning on the ignition for more than a week in cold weather, it is
recommended that you park the vehicle inside a building, if possible.
Notice)
In particular, make sure to park the vehicle indoor when the temper-
ature is below -30°C. If the vehicle is parked outside for over 12
hours under such weather fuel cell components may be damaged.
Also, avoid driving under such weather to prevent damaging the fuel
cell components.
