Battery Recharging
 WARNING
Always follow these instructions when 
recharging your vehicle’s battery to 
avoid the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH from explosions or acid burns:
•	 Before performing maintenance or 
recharging the battery, turn off all 
accessories and place the ignition 
switch to the LOCK/OFF position.
•	 Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking 
materials away from the battery.
•	 Always work outdoors or in an area 
with plenty of ventilation.
•	 Wear eye protection when checking 
the battery during charging.
•	 The battery must be removed from 
the vehicle and placed in a well 
ventilated area.
•	 Watch the battery during charging, 
and stop or reduce the charging 
rate if the battery cells begin boiling 
violently.
•	 Vehicle is equipped with the 
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery.  
Do not charge the AGM battery with 
a general charger.  It may damage 
or explode the AGM battery. Only 
charge the AGM battery with a 
charger that has AGM battery 
setting.
•	 The negative battery cable must 
be removed first and installed last 
when the battery is disconnected. 
Disconnect the battery charger in the 
following order:
1.
 Turn o
ff the battery charger main 
switch.
2.
 Unhook the nega
tive clamp from 
the negative battery terminal.
3.
 Unhook the positiv
e clamp from 
the positive battery terminal.
•	 Always use a genuine HYUNDAI 
approved battery when you replace 
the battery.
NOTICE
AGM battery (if equipped)
•	Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) 
batteries are maintenance-free 
and we recommend that the AGM 
battery be serviced by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer. For charging 
your AGM battery, use only fully 
automatic battery chargers that 
are specially developed for AGM 
batteries.
•	 When replacing the AGM battery, 
we recommend that you use parts 
for replacement from an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
•	 Do not open or remove the cap on 
top of the battery. This may cause 
leaks of internal electrolyte that 
could result in severe injury.

After a jump start from a good battery, 
drive the vehicle for 20-30 minutes 
before it is shutoff. The vehicle may 
not restart if you shut it off before the 
battery had a chance to adequately 
recharge. See “Jump Starting” in chapter 
7 for more information on jump starting 
procedures.

An inappropriately disposed 
battery can be harmful to 
the environment and human 
health. Dispose of the battery 
according to your local law(s) or 
regulations.
