Emergency Situations8-2
If the Engine Stalls While Driving

[ Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.

[ Turn on your hazard warning flasher.

[ Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.
If the Engine Stalls at a Crossroad
or Crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the shift
lever to the N (Neutral) position and then
push the vehicle to a safe location.
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
WHILE DRIVING
OCN7070001
The hazard warning flasher serves as
a warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,

If you Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

[Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately 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,
move the shift lever into P (Park), and
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/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.
[Be sure to shift the gear to P (Park).
The vehicle starts only when the gear
is in P (Park).

[ This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the HEV high
voltage battery. The vehicle has a
12V battery protection system that
cuts 12V battery from vehicle draw
to prevent full discharge. If vehicle
will not start, first try pressing the
12V Battery Reset switch (left side of
the steering wheel near the fuel door
open switch) to reconnect the 12V
battery, but you must start vehicle
within 15 seconds of pressing the 12V
Battery Reset switch. After starting
the vehicle (
indicator ON ),
operate the vehicle safely outdoors in
ready mode stopped and/or drive it
for 30 minutes total to charge the 12V
battery fully.

[ Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine may be overheating. If this
happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the parking brake
3. Turn off the air conditioner.
4. When the coolant or hot steams gush out of the reservoir, stop the
engine and we recommend that
you call an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance. If the coolant
does not flow out, leave the engine
compartment opened, while running
the engine. Check the coolant
temperature gauge on the instrument
cluster and turn off the engine to
make sure the coolant temperature is
sufficiently cooled down. 5. Cool down the engine sufficiently
and check the coolant level. When it
is insufficient, check its connection
with the radiator, the heater hose,
and the water pump for any leakage.
When there is no leakage, add the
coolant. However, if the problems
persists, such as the coolant leakages,
the cooling-fan malfunction or the
water pump drive belt damages,
immediately stop the engine, and
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[ You should mix antifreeze and water in
a proper ratio to make coolant. If the
antifreeze ratio is too high or low, it
may cause overheating due to the lack
of cooling function.
(Refer to the Mix Ratio in “Checking
the coolant level” in chapter 9.)

[ If overheating happens repeatedly,
we recommend that you have
your vehicle to be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
While the engine is running,
keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving parts
such as the cooling fan and
drive belt to prevent serious
injury.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

Emergency Situations8-8
WARNING
Never remove the engine
coolant cap and/or inverter
coolant cap or the drain plug
while the engine and radiator
are hot.
Hot coolant and steam may blow out
under pressure, causing serious injury.
Turn the hybrid system off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use extreme
care when removing the engine coolant
cap and/or inverter coolant cap. Wrap
a thick towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the first
stop. Step back while the pressure is
released from the cooling system. When
you are sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap, using
a thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
CAUTION

[ Serious loss of coolant indicates a
leak in the cooling system and should
be checked as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[ When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly adding
engine coolant may cause cracks
in the engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly in small
quantities.

Emergency Situations8-10
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on
a significantly underinflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.

8-11
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, have
the system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
1. The Low Tire Pressure Telltale/ TPMS Malfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
position or engine is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale remains illuminated.

Tire Pressure Telltale
OCN7080057L
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are
illuminated and a warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The Low Tire Pressure
Position Telltale will indicate which
tire is significantly underinflated by
illuminating the corresponding position
light.
