Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break
the ice and release the door. Do not
pry on the door. If necessary, spray
around the door with an approved de-
icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-
freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm
place and allow the ice to melt.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. Cover the fuel filler with the cap.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.i
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use parts for
replacement from an author-
ized Hyundai dealer. An incor-
rect fuel filler cap can result in
a serious malfunction of the
fuel system. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for replacement.
If the fuel filler door is not
completely closed, the vehicle
is not turned on. Close the
fuel filler door and turn on the
vehicle.
WARNING
According to the hydrogen
fueling station condition the
hydrogen may not be filled
fully and the driving distance
may change accordingly. The
hydrogen may not be charged
fully if the fueling station does
not satisfy the fueling method
specified in the fueling. stan-
dard (SAE J2601) or if the
hydrogen is not enough in the
station, the fueling facility
has failure, etc.
Depending on the remaining
hydrogen in the vehicle and
ambient temperature, the time
required for fueling may vary.
More time may be required for
fueling if the remaining hydro-
gen level is low and the
weather is hot. Also, required
time may be longer if the
hydrogen cooling tempera-
ture of the fueling station is
high.
The distance to empty may
vary depending on the driving
environment (weather, traffic,
etc.) and driving method
(rapid acceleration, heating
and air conditioning, etc.).WARNING

5. Why is there an engine noise at low
speeds, even though there is no engine?The noise is generated from the air compressor and cooling pump
working to supply air to the fuel cell or it's from Virtual Engine
Sound System (VESS).
6. When turning on and off the vehicle in
cold weather, there's a loud noise. Is this
noise cause for concern?
When you turn on the vehicle or turn off the vehicle in cold weather,
the air compressor removes the generated water inside the fuel cell
system and the noise is generated during this process, which is nor-
mal. In this case, certain amount of water may drain through the
vehicle bottom and exhaust pipe.
7. Why does a noise emanate when the
vehicle moves in reverse?
Normally, the noise is a result of the Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS) working when the FCEV runs at low velocity (1~12 mph
(1~20 km/h)) after shifting to D or N. However, when shifting to R,
the VESS operates immediately, regardless of vehicle speed. In
addition, a separate warning chime will sound to have the pedestri-
an aware of the approaching vehicle.
8. The FCEV is equipped with a reduction
gear but no transmission. What makes it
different from standard vehicles?
The transmission of standard vehicles delivers power as conditions
require via multiple transmission gears. However, the reduction gear
of the FCEV is designed to deliver power by reducing the motor's
RPM as operating conditions dictate, or to move backwards by
reversing the rotational direction of the shaft.

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.

19. What are the do-it-yourself (DIY) main-
tenance items for the FCEV?
DIY Check: Device cooling coolant, Stack cooling coolant, Brake
Fluid, Tire and Wheels
DIY Maintenance: Washer fluid, Air cleaner, Climate control air filter,
Wiper blades, Fuse, Light bulb
20. What should I be aware of when doing
DIY maintenance work?Be careful not to touch the high-voltage cable (orange color),
coolant, and ion filter.
21. Tell me what the potential effects are of
parking long-term in a cold area (-4 °F
(-20 °C)) for the FCEV, and whether or
not the vehicle can startup under such
conditions.In most instances, the vehicle can get startup in cold weather with-
out any problems. However, the vehicle may not start if it is parked
with the power off for over a week in cold temperatures. In this case,
If you will not be turning on the vehicle for more than a week in cold
weather, it is recommended that you park the vehicle inside a build-
ing, if possible.
22. What parts must I not touch with
hands? For example, high-voltage
cable, ion filter, etc.?
High-voltage cable (orange color), ion filter, parts with a high voltage
warning sticker.
Also, never touch the hydrogen storage system under the liftgate,
the hydrogen supply pipe under the vehicle and the hydrogen supply
system components on the right side (based on the driver’s position)
of the hood.
