if tHe engine will not start
• Be sure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the gear is in N (Neutral) or P
(Park).
• This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the HEV high
voltage battery. The vehicle has a
12V battery protection system that
cuts 12V battery from vehicle draw
to prevent full discharge. If vehicle
will not start, first try pressing the
12V Battery Reset switch (left side of
the steering wheel near the fuel door
open switch) to reconnect the 12V
battery, but you must start vehicle
within 15 seconds of pressing the 12V
Battery Reset switch. After starting
the vehicle (
indicator ON ),
operate the vehicle safely outdoors in
ready mode stopped and/or drive it
for 30 minutes total to charge the 12V
battery fully.
• Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the vehicle still does not start, we
recommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
NOTICE
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.

Before Jump Starting
This vehicle does not have a regular 12V
battery that needs periodic replacement.
It is lithium ion polymer type integrated
into the HEV high voltage battery. The

safely outdoors in ready mode
stopped and/or drive it for 30 minutes
total to charge the 12V battery fully. If you do not start the vehicle
immediately after pressing the 12V

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 engine
ON cycle (30 Min+) may cause over
discharge 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
( indicator on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the engine is running or
not. Although there is no engine sound, it
is unnecessary to depress the accelerator
pedal.
The following items may need to be reset
after the battery has been discharged or
the battery has been disconnected.

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights,
accessories, or controls do not work,
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a
fuse has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the
engine and all switches off, and then
disconnect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem.
Avoid using the system involved. We
recommend that you immediately
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge
type, and multi fuse for higher amperage
ratings.
