2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID wipers

01
1-11
When the hybrid system is turned ON,
the gasoline engine may run 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 driving.
Even if the engine is off, you can operate
the vehicle as long as the “
” indicator is illuminated.
NOTICE
The hybrid system contains many
electronic components. High voltage
components, such as cables and other
parts, may emit electromagnetic waves.
Even when the electromagnetic cover
blocks electromagnetic emissions,
electromagnetic 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,
we recommend that you contact your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
• When you start the hybrid system
with the shift button in P (Parking),
the “
” indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster. The driver
can drive the vehicle, even when the
gasoline engine is off.
• When you leave the vehicle, you
should turn OFF the hybrid system
or locate the shift button in P (Park).
When you depress the accelerator
pedal by mistake, or when the shift
button is not in P (Park), the vehicle
will abruptly move, possibly resulting
in serious injury or death.
Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestrians
to hear vehicle sound because there is
limited sound while motor power is used.
• If the gear shifts from P (Parking) after
start-up, the VESS sound is output.
• When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses an electric motor when
decelerating and when braking. It
transforms kinetic energy to electrical
energy in order to charge the high
voltage battery.
Battery
• The vehicle is composed of a high
voltage battery that drives the motor
and air conditioner, and an integrated
12V lithium ion polymer battery with
the HEV battery that drives the lamps,
wipers, and audio system.
• The integrated 12V battery is
automatically charged when the
vehicle is in the ready (
) mode.

Information
If there is heavy accumulation of snow

using the windshield wipers to ensure
proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or ice
before using the wiper and washer, it may
damage the wiper and washer system.

Windshield Washers
ODN8059209K
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles. The spray and wiper operation
will continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may need
to add washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to help prevent
the washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.
NOTICE
• To pr event possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers or windshield, do not operate
the wipers when the windshield is
dry.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers and washer system, use anti-
freezing washer fluids in the winter
season or cold weather.

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wiper functionality. Common
sources of contamination are insects,
tree sap, and hot wax treatments used
by some commercial car washes. If the
blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer fluid.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
arms or other components, do not:
• Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
• Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
NOTICE
• In order to prevent damage to the
hood and the wiper arms, the wiper
arms should only be lifted when in
the top wiping position.
• Always return the wiper arms to the
windshield before driving.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified wiper blade
could result in wiper malfunction and
failure.
