Introduction
This vehicle is equipped with an 
event data recorder (EDR). Themain purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as: 
vehicle were operating;
 passenger safety belts were 
buckled/ fastened;
 depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
 ing. These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle onlyif a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded bythe EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combinethe EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle is driven using a 
battery and an electric motor. While
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as
fuel, electric vehicles use electricalenergy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. As a result,
electric vehicles are eco-friendly in
that they do not require fuel and do
not emit exhaust gases.
Characteristics of Electric 
Vehicles
1. It is driven using the electricalenergy that is charged inside the 
high voltage battery. This method
prevents air pollution since fuel,
like gasoline, is not required,
negating the emission of exhaust
gases.
2. A high performance motor is used in the vehicle as well. Compared
to standard, internal combustion
engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are much more minimal
when driving.
3. When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimizes energyloss and increases the distance to
empty.
4.When the battery charge is not suf- ficient, AC charge, DC charge and
trickle charge are available. (Refer
to “Charge Types for Electric
Vehicle” for details.) Information 
What does regenerative braking do?  
It uses the electric motor when decel- 
erating or braking which transforms
vehicle motion (kinetic energy) to elec-
trical energy to charge the high volt-
age batteries. (Torque is applied in the
opposite direction when decelerating
to generate braking force and electric
energy.)
Battery Information
 The vehicle is composed of a high voltage battery that drives the 
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-tem.
 The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.

High Voltage  Battery  
(lithium-ion polymer)
 The charge amount of the highvoltage battery may gradually 
decrease when the vehicle is not
driving.
 The battery capacity of the high voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures.
 Distance to empty may vary depending on the driving condi-
tions, even if the charge amount is
the same. The high voltage battery
may expend more energy when
driving at high speed or uphill.
These actions may reduce the dis-
tance to empty.
 The high voltage battery is used when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty. Make sure to set
moderate temperatures when
using the air-conditioner/heater.
 Natural degradation may occur with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty.  When the charge capacity and dis-
tance to empty keep falling, con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er for inspection and maintenance.
 If the vehicle will not be in use for an extended period of time, charge
the high voltage battery once every
three months to prevent it from dis-
charging. Also, if the chargeamount is not enough, immediate-
ly charge to full and store the vehi-
cle.
 AC charge is recommended to keep the high voltage battery inoptimal condition. 
If the high voltage battery charge 
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery per-
formance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage battery
to 100%. (Once a month or more isrecommended.)Make sure to use a designated 
charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using dif-
ferent types of chargers may
have a serious impact on vehi-
cle durability.
Make sure that the high volt- 
age battery charger gauge
does not reach ''L (Low)". If the
vehicle is kept at ''L (Low)" for
a long period, it may damage
the high voltage battery and
the high voltage battery may
have to be replaced depending
on the level of degradation.
If the vehicle is in a collision, 
contact an authorized HYUNDAIdealer to inspect whether the
high voltage battery is still con-nected.
