HEV (HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE) SYSTEM
The HYUNDAI Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the gasoline engine and the
electric motor for power. The electric motor is run by a high-voltage HEV battery.
Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between
the engine and the electric motor or even both at the same time.
Fuel efficiency increases when the engine is at idle, or when the vehicle is driven by the
electric motor with the HEV battery.
The HEV battery charge must be maintained, so at times the engine will come on even
at idle to act as a generator. Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative
braking.

INSTRUMENT PANEL OVERVIEW (I)

Main components of the Occupant
Classification System
• A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
• Electronic system to determine
whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.
• An indicator light located on the
instrument panel which illuminates
the words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.
• The instrument panel air bag indicator
light is interconnected with the OCS.
The OCS is designed to help detect
the presence of a properly-seated
front passenger and determine if the
passenger’s front air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk
of injury or death from an inflating air
bag to certain front passenger seat
occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF.
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the air bag to
turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For smaller adults it may turn
OFF, however, if the occupant does not
sit in the seat properly (for example, by
not sitting upright, by sitting on the edge
of the seat, or by otherwise being out of
position), this could cause the sensor to
turn the air bag OFF. You will find the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” indicator on the overhead console
panel. This system detects the conditions
1-4 in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger air bag
based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the seat belt.
The OCS may not function properly if the
passenger takes actions which can affect
the classification system. These include:
•
Failing to sit in an upright position.
• Leaning against the door or center
console.
• Sitting towards the sides of the front
of the seat.
• Putting their legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
• Wearing the seat belt improperly.
• Reclining the seatback.
• Wearing thick clothes like ski wear or
hip protection wear.
• Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.
• Putting electrical devices (e.g.
notebook, satellite radio) on the seat
with inverter charging.

Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB) warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
-The EPB warning light illuminates
for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
the EPB.
If the EPB warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
warning light may illuminate when
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
indicator light comes on to indicate that
the ESC is not working properly (This
does not indicate malfunction of the EPB).
AUTO HOLD indicator light
This indicator light illuminates:
• [White] When you activate the auto
hold system by pressing the AUTO
HOLD switch.
• [Green] When you stop the vehicle
completely by depressing the brake
pedal with the Auto Hold system
activated.
• [Yellow] Whenever there is a
malfunction with the Auto Hold
system.
If the AUTO HOLD indicator light
remains YELLOW while driving, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
For more details, refer to “Auto Hold”
section in chapter 6.
Charging system warning
light
This warning light illuminates:
When the battery is not being charged
while the engine is running. Immediately
turn OFF all electrical accessories. Try
not to use electrically operated controls,
such as the power windows. Keep the
engine running.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
If the oil pressure lowers due to
insufficient engine oil, etc., the engine oil
pressure warning light turns on and an
enhanced engine protection system that
limits the engine’s power is activated.
If this warning light turns on while
driving, drive carefully to the side of the
road and stop the vehicle, check the
engine oil level, and add if insufficient.
If the engine oil isn’t insufficient, or if
the warning light does not turn off even
after adding, we recommend to visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Driving with the warning light on may
cause engine failure.
à When oil pressure is restored to an
optimal level, the oil pressure warning
light and the protection system that
limits engine power will turn off. Even
if the oil pressure returns to normal,
check the engine once again in a safe
place.
