Driving your vehicle
Shift-lock system 
For your safety, your vehicle has a 
shift-lock system which prevents
shifting the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse) or D
(Drive) unless the brake pedal isdepressed. 
To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral) 
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) : 
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the vehicle or place thePOWER button in the ON position.
3. Press the R (Reverse) or D (Drive) button.
When the battery (12 V) is dis-
charged
You cannot shift the gear when the 
battery is discharged. 
Jump start your vehicle (refer to 
“Jump Starting” in chapter 6) or con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and 
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Shift to the P (Park) position, apply
the electronic parking brake as need-
ed such as on a sloped driveway or
hill and place the POWER button in
the OFF position. Take the Key with
you when exiting the vehicle.
LCD Display Messages
Shifting conditions not met
The message appears on the LCD 
display when driving speed is too
fast to shift the gear. 
Decrease the vehicle speed or slow 
down before shifting the gear.

When you drive on a road having 
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and apply your brakes continu-
ously, the ABS will be active con-
tinuously and the ABS warning
light ( ) may illuminate. Pull
your car over to a safe place and
turn the vehicle off. 
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS 
warning light is off, then your ABSsystem is normal. 
Otherwise, you may have a prob- 
lem with your ABS system.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.Information 
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers. 
ESC checks where you are steering 
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle's brakes
and intervenes in the electric vehicle
control system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
i
NOTICE
If the ABS warning light ( ) is 
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

What to do in an emergency
If you Have a Flat Tire While Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving: 
 Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow down 
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately to
slow down the vehicle, but use the
paddle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking con-
trol. Also, do not or attempt to pull
off the road as this may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. When the vehicle has
slowed to such a speed that it is
safe to do so, brake carefully and
pull off the road. Drive off the road
as far as possible and park on firm,
level ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
 When the vehicle is stopped, press the hazard warning flasher button,
shift to P(Park), apply the parking
brake, and place the POWER but-ton in the OFF position.  Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
 When changing a flat tire, follow the instructions provided later in
this chapter.
Confirm the EV Battery Is Not 
Low on the Charge Gauge
 Be sure the gear is in P (Park). The
vehicle starts only when the gear is 
in P (Park).
 Check the 12-volt battery connec- tions to be sure they are clean andtight.
 Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle. See instructions for
"Jump Starting" provided in this
chapter.

What to do in an emergency
Jump starting can be dangerous if 
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service
do it for you.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling
the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully
when handling a battery.Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes. 
Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials
away from the battery.

WARNING  
(Continued)Hydrogen is alwayspresent in battery cells, 
is highly combustible,
and may explode if ignit-ed.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children. Batteries contain sulfu- 
ric acid which is highly
corrosive. Do not allow
acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately. (Continued)(Continued)
•When lifting a plastic-cased 
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Do not attempt to jump start 
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
NEVER attempt to recharge 
the battery when the vehicle's
battery cables are connected
to the battery.

InformationAn inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to the 
environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulations.
To prevent damage to your vehi-
cle: 
 Only use a 12-volt power supply (battery or jumper system) to 
jump start your vehicle.
 Do not attempt to jump start your vehicle by push-starting.Jump starting procedure 
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles totouch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the motor compartment at all
times, even when the vehicles are
turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brakes. Turn
both vehicles OFF. 4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle(1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive
(+) battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
6. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/
chassis ground of the assisting
vehicle (3).

7. Connect the other end of the sec-ond jumper cable to the black, 
negative (-) chassis ground of
your vehicle (4). 
Do not allow the jumper cables to 
contact anything except the cor-
rect battery or jumper terminals or
the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making
connections.
8. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at approxi-
mately 2,000 rpm for a few min-
utes. Then start your vehicle.
9. After your vehicle starts allow it to operate at least 30 minutes with-
out shutting it down, this will help
charge back the 12V battery.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of
your battery discharging is not
apparent, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connectedthem: 
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from
the black, negative (-) chassis 
ground of your vehicle (4).
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, neg-
ative (-) battery/chassis ground of
the assisting vehicle (3).
3. Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+)
battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the red, positive
(+) jumper terminal of your vehicle(1). .
