1-11
When the hybrid system is turned ON,
the gasoline engine may run or may not.
In this situation, you may feel a vibration.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
When the “
” indicator illuminates, the
hybrid system is ready to begin driving.
Even if the engine is off, you can operate
the vehicle as long as the “
” indicator
is illuminated.
NOTICE
The hybrid system contains many
electronic components. High voltage
components, such as cables and other
parts, may emit electromagnetic waves.
Even when the electromagnetic cover
blocks electromagnetic emissions,
electromagnetic waves may have an
effect on electronic devices. When your
vehicle is not used for a long period of
time, the hybrid system will discharge.
You need to drive the vehicle several
times a month. We recommend driving
at least for 1 hour or 10 miles. When the
hybrid battery is discharged, or when it
is impossible to jump start the vehicle,
we recommend that you contact your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING

[ When you start the hybrid system
with the shift lever in P (Parking),
the “
” indicator illuminates on
the instrument cluster. The driver
can drive the vehicle, even when the
gasoline engine is off.

[ When you leave the vehicle, you
should turn OFF the hybrid system
or locate the shift lever in P (Park).
When you depress the accelerator
pedal by mistake, or when the shift
lever is not in P (Park), the vehicle
will abruptly move, possibly resulting
in serious injury or death.
Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestrians
to hear vehicle sound because there is
limited sound while motor power is used.

[If the gear shifts from P (Parking) after
start-up, the VESS sound is output.

[ When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses an electric motor when
decelerating and when braking. It
transforms kinetic energy to electrical
energy in order to charge the high
voltage battery.
Battery

[The vehicle is composed of a high
voltage battery that drives the motor
and air conditioner, and an integrated
12V lithium ion polymer battery with
the HEV battery that drives the lamps,
wipers, and audio system.

[ The integrated 12V battery is
automatically charged when the
vehicle is in the ready (
) mode.

Seats & Safety System3-28
Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:

[ Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS 213).

[ Select a child restraint based on
your child’s height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.

[ Select a child restraint that fits the
vehicle seating position where it will
be used.

[ Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and
use provided with the child restraint
system.
Child restraint system types
There are three main types of child
restraint systems: rear-facing seats,
forward-facing seats, and booster seats.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
Rear-facing child seats
WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant restraint
in the front passenger’s seat.
Placing a rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat can result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH if the child restraint is
struck by an inflating air bag.
OCN7030029
A rear-facing child seat provides restraint
with the seating surface against the back
of the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in the
seat and reduce the stress to the neck
and spinal cord.
All children under age one must always
ride in a rear-facing infant child restraint.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats
typically have higher height and weight
limits for the rear-facing position,
allowing you to keep your child rear-
facing for a longer period of time.
Continue to use a rear-facing child seat
for as long as your child will fit within the
height and weight limits allowed by the
child seat manufacturer. It’s the best way
to keep them safe. Once your child has
outgrown the rear-facing child restraint,
your child is ready for a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness.
