Hazard Warning Flasher
B8000201
The hazard warning flasher warns other
drivers to exercise extreme caution when
approaching, overtaking, or passing your
vehicle. It should be used whenever
making emergency repairs or when
stopped near the edge of a roadway.
To turn on or off the hazard warning
flasher, press the hazard warning flasher
button with the Start/Stop button in any
position. The hazard warning flasher
button is located in the center fascia
panel. All turn signal lights flash
simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates whether your vehicle is running or not.
• The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on.
In Case of an Emergency
While Driving
If the Vehicle Stalls While
Driving
• Reduce the vehicle 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 vehicle again. If your vehicle does not start, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.
If the Vehicle Stalls at A
Crossroad or Crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad or
intersection, if safe to do so, shift the gear
to N (Neutral) and then push the vehicle
to a safe location.
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 because this may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in a
collision. 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 a 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 the
gear to P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and press the Start/Stop button
to the OFF position.

traffic.
• When you have a flat tire, refer to the "If You Have a Flat Tire (with Tire Mobility
Kit)" section in this chapter.If the Vehicle Will Not
Start
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 V battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the
starter, the 12 V battery is drained.

Jump Starting (12 V
battery)
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, have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING 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.Hydrogen gas is always present in battery
cells. It is highly combustible, and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that 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
immediate medical attention. If acid gets
on your skin, thoroughly wash the area. If

the jump cable in the vehicle. The direct
(-) connection to the jump cable may
cause an explosion.

Jump starting procedure
Information When you jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the motor compartment.

1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach. Do not
allow the vehicle body parts to contact.
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 apply the
parking brake. Turn both vehicles OFF.
4. Open the hood.
5. Remove the battery cover located inside of the front trunk.
6. Remove the motor compartment fuse box cover.
CAUTION Before jump starting, make sure to
correctly identify the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals to avoid reverse
polarity connections.

7. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustration. First
connect one jumper cable to the red,
positive (+) jumper terminal of your
vehicle (1).
8. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive (+)
battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
9. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/jumper
terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
10.Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-)
chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
WARNING Do not connect the jumper cable to the

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 under-inflated 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
about 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.
