If you have a flat tire while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv- ing:
1. Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. 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 medi-
an area between the two traffic
lanes.
2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and shift
gear to the P(Park) position.
3. 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.
If the vehicle stalls while driv- ing
1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the vehicle again. If your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Be sure the shift lever is in P
(Park). The vehicle starts only
when the shift lever is in P (Park).
This vehicle does not have a regu- lar 12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion poly-
mer type integrated into the 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 press-
ing the 12V Battery Reset switch.
After starting vehicle, 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.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
If the vehicle still does not start, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.

Before Jump Starting
This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the high voltage
battery. The vehicle has a 12V bat-
tery protection system that cuts 12V
battery from vehicle draw to prevent
full discharge.
Using the 12V Battery ResetSwitch
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset switch to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 sec- onds of pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch.
3. After starting vehicle ( indica- tor on), move the vehicle outside
and keep the vehicle ready ( )
mode more than 30 minutes safe-
ly to charge the 12V battery. 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
vehicle ON cycle (30 Min+) may
cause over discharge of the 12V bat-
tery, 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.

off, start the vehicle as explained.
(refer to "Using the 12V Battery
Switch")Jump Starting
In the event vehicle still does not
have a functional 12V battery (check
if interior lights will not turn on) then
you can try a jump start using a 12V
booster pack or jumper cables from
another vehicle's 12V battery
according to the following instruc-
tions.1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles totouch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the fuel cell power module com-
partment 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 set the parking brake. Turn
both vehicles OFF.
NOTICE
Jump starting can be danger-
ous if done incorrectly. Follow
the jump starting procedure in
this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehi-
cle. If in doubt about how to

(+) jumper terminal of your vehicle(1). Information
The voltage range of the charger
should be 13.3~14V and its current
range should be less than 60A. (13.8V
is recommended). Information
An inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulations.
To prevent damage to your vehi-
cle:
• Only use a 12-volt power supply (battery or jumper system) to
jump start your vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start your vehicle by push-starting.
NOTICE
ii
The use of an improper charg-
er with a voltage and current
range higher than specified
may cause overheating and
damage to the 12V battery.
The use of an incorrect charg-
er will lead to a power shut-off
to save the 12V battery. Stop
using the incorrect charger
once the power of the vehicle
is shut off.

What to do in an emergency
1. Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2. Shift to P (Park) and set the park- ing brake. If the air conditioning is
on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the hood, stop the vehicle.Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there
is no visible loss of coolant and no
steam, leave the vehicle running
and check to be sure the vehicle
cooling fan is operating. If the fan
is not running, turn the vehicle off. 4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5. If coolant is leaking out, stop the vehicle immediately and call the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.

While the vehicle is
running, keep hands,
clothing and tools
away from the mov-
ing parts such as the
cooling fan to prevent
serious injury.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with a pres-
surized coolant
reserve tank. NEVER
remove the coolant
reserve tank cap or the radiatordrain plug while the radiator is
HOT. Hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.
Turn the vehicle off and wait
until the vehicle cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the coolant reserve tank
cap. Wrap a towel or thick rag
around it, and turn it counter-
clockwise slowly to release
some of the pressure from the
system. Step back while thepressure is released.
When you are sure all the pres-
sure has been released, contin-ue turning the cap counter-
clockwise to remove it.
WARNING

6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the radiator
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has beenlost, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway
mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er for assistance.
What to do in an emergency
Serious loss of coolant indi- cates a leak in the cooling sys-
tem and should be checked as
soon as possible by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
