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 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.

Information

[ Even though charging is possible with
the ignition switch in the ON/START
position, for your safety, start charging when the ignition switch is in the
LOCK/OFF position and the vehicle
shifted to P (Park). After charging has started, you can use electrical components such as the radio by
placing the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON position.

[ During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.

[ Moving the shift lever from P (Park) to R (Reverse)/N(Neutral)/D (Drive) stops
the charging process.
To restart the charging process, move
the shift lever to P (Park), place the
ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position, and disconnect the charging
cable. Then, connect the charging cable.

8. After charging has started, the estimated charging time is displayed
on the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
If you open the driver seat door while
charging, the estimated charging time
is also displayed on the instrument
cluster for about 1 minute.
When scheduled charging is set, the
estimated charging time is displayed
as “--" .
Information
Depending on the condition and durability
of the high voltage battery, charger
specifications, and ambient temperature,
the time required for charging the battery
may vary.
Checking Charging Status
OTMPHQ010003L
When charging the high voltage battery,
the charge level can be checked from
outside the vehicle.

Charging connector AUTO/LOCK mode
The charging connector is locked in the
inlet at a different period according to which mode is selected.
[ LOCK mode : The connector locks
when the charging connector is plugged into the charging inlet.

[ AUTO mode : The connector locks when charging starts.
For more details, refer to “Charging
Connector AUTO/ LOCK Mode” in this
chapter.

9. Check if the charging indicator light of the high voltage battery
on the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when the
charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector is not
connected properly, reconnect the
charging cable to charge it again.

Starting the Vehicle
Vehicles with smart key system
1. Carry the smart key or leave it inside the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.
3. Make sure the shift button is in P (Park). With the shift button in N
(Neutral), you cannot start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop button. If the hybrid system starts, the “
”
indicator will come on.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing
the accelerator.
After following the start procedures, “
” indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn on. For more details,
please check chapter 6.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERATION of
Hybrid system
[ Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate and maintain a steady
cruising speed. Do not make “jack-
rabbit” starts. Do not race between
stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear out.

[ The regenerative brake generates
energy when the vehicle decelerates.

[ When the hybrid battery power is
low, the hybrid system automatically
recharges the hybrid battery.

[ When the engine is running with the
shift button in N (Neutral), the hybrid
system cannot generate electricity.
The hybrid battery cannot recharge
with the shift button in N (Neutral).
Information
In the hybrid system, the engine
automatically runs and stops. When the hybrid system operates, the “
”
indicator is illuminated. In the following situation, the engine may
operate automatically.
- When the engine is ready to run
- When the hybrid battery is being charged
- Depending on the temperature condition of the hybrid battery
Special Features
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may
hear a sound from the hybrid battery
system under the floor. If you apply
the accelerator pedal rapidly, you may
hear an unconventional sound. When
you apply the brake pedal, you may
hear a sound from the regenerative
brake system. When the hybrid system
is turned off or on, you may hear a
sound in the engine compartment. If
you depress the brake pedal repeatedly
when the hybrid system is turned on,
you may hear a sound in the engine
compartment. None of these sounds
indicate a problem. These are normal
characteristics of hybrid vehicles.
If any of following occur, it’s a normal
condition if you hear a motor sound in
the engine compartment:
- After turning off the hybrid system, the brake pedal is released.
- When the hybrid system is turned off, the brake pedal is applied.
- When the driver door is opened.
DRIVING THE HYBRID VEHICLE

Information

[ The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates
maximum of 20 minutes. If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function activates
more than 10 times consecutively, in
the Automatic Mode the function will
stop activating, judging that there is
a problem with the auxiliary battery.
In this case, drive the vehicle for some
period of time. The function will start activating if the auxiliary battery
returns to normal.

[ The Aux. Battery Saver+ function
cannot prevent battery discharge if the auxiliary battery is damaged, worn out,
used as a power supply or unauthorized
electronic devices are used.

[ If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was activated, the high voltage battery level
may have decreased.
System Setting
OAEPHQ049855L
The driver can activate the Aux. Battery
Saver+ function by placing the ignition
switch to the ON position and by selecting:

Saver+'
The Aux. Battery Saver+ function
deactivates, when the driver cancels the
system setting.
WARNING
OTMPHQ010017L
When the function is activating the
charging indicator lamp will quickly
blink and high voltage electricity will
be flowing in the vehicle. Do not touch
the high voltage electric wire (orange),
connector, and all electric components
and devices. This may cause electric
shock and lead to injuries. Also, do not
modify your vehicle in any way. This
may affect your vehicle performance
and lead to an accident.

hardware.
When the warning light illuminates
while driving, or does not go OFF after
starting the vehicle, you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Regenerative brake warning
light
(yellow)
This warning light illuminates:
When the regenerative brake does not
operate and the brake does not perform
well. This causes the Brake Warning

simultaneously.
If this occurs, drive safely and have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. The operation of the
brake pedal may be more difficult than
normal and the braking distance may
increase.
