Battery recharging
By RESET button
To charge the discharged 12V bat-
tery, attempt charging by pressing
12V BATT RESET button. For more
details, refer to “If the 12 volt battery
is discharged” in chapter 6.
By jump starting
After a jump start from a good bat-
tery, drive the vehicle for 20-30 min-
utes before it is shutoff. The vehicle
may not restart if you shut it off
before the battery had a chance to
adequately recharge. See “Jump
Starting” in chapter 6 for more infor-
mation on jump starting procedures.
Reset Features
Some items need to be reset after
the battery has been discharged or
the battery has been disconnected.

The FCEV system contains
many electronic components.
High voltage components like
cables and other parts may emit
electromagnetic waves. Even if
the electromagnetic cover
blocks electromagnetic emis-
sions, electromagnetic waves
may have an effect on electron-
ic appliances. If you park the
vehicle for a long time, the high
voltage battery or 12V battery
will discharge. You need to drive
the vehicle several times per
month. We recommend driving
at least 10 minutes or 2 miles (3
km) when you drive the vehicle.
If the high voltage battery is dis-
charged and if it is impossible
to jump start the vehicle contact
your HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
When you start the FCEV sys-
tem in the "P" or "N" gear
position, the "Ready ( )"
indicator is illuminated in the
cluster. The driver can drive
the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn off the sys-
tem or shift into the "P" posi-
tion. If you depress the accel-
erator pedal by mistake and
the vehicle is not in the "P"
position, the vehicle will move
abruptly. This may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never touch the service plug
under the rear seat.
The service plug is attached to
the high voltage battery system.
Touching the service plug will
result in death or serious injury.
Service personnel should fol-
low procedures in service man-
ual.

If you do not start the vehicle imme-
diately after pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch, the power of 12V bat-
tery is automatically disconnected
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 ON
cycle (30 Min+) may cause over dis-
charge 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 ( indica-
tor on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the accelerator pedal
is depressed or not.
❈ ❈
For more details regarding the
jump start, refer to the 'Jump star-
ing' in Owner's manual Chapter 6.
Emergency while driving
If an accident occurs
1. Stop the vehicle, put the gear into
the P (Park) position, set the park-
ing brake, and turn the vehicle off
to prevent the hydrogen and cur-
rent from leaking.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel
cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the current from being generated.
2. Evacuate to the safety place.
3. Call emergency services for help
and let them know the vehicle is a
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle.

11. Can I wash my FCEV with pressurized
water? What if water flows into the fuel
cell power module compartment?
Every component housed in the fuel cell power module compart-
ment is designed to be waterproof like those found in standard vehi-
cles. Therefore, a short circuit of the FCEV cannot happen while
washing the car. However, your FCEV works by utilizing high-voltage
electric power, so it is recommended that you avoid high-pressure car
washes. If the insulation resistance of the FCEV deteriorates due to
car wash, a High voltage warning light may turn on the cluster.
12. When washing the fuel cell power mod-
ule compartment, is there any potential
risk of electric shock resulting from a
high-voltage short circuit?The FCEV is designed to be a waterproof structure, but please
avoid washing the inside of the compartment if possible. Because
there are many high voltage parts in the power module compart-
ment.
13. Can I wash the bottom of the vehicle? If
yes, what should I be aware of?The FCEV is designed to be a waterproof structure, but please
avoid washing the botttom of the vehicle if possible. Because there
are high voltage cables in the under cover.
14. Can driving with a tire chain affect the
drive motor?Driving with a tire chain causes no direct damage to the drive motor.
15. How should I jump start the vehicle?
Try charging it by pressing the "12V BATT RESET" button first.
Refer to the "If the 12 volt battery is discharged" in this guide book.
It it doesn't work, refer to the "Jump starting" in the Owner's manual
chapter 6.

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.
