Emergency Situations8-2
ONX4080001
The hazard warning flasher serves as
a warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the
vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
To turn the hazard warning flasher on
or off, press the hazard warning flasher
button with the ignition switch in any
position. The button is located in the
center fascia panel. All turn signal lights
will flash simultaneously.

[ The hazard warning flasher operates
regardless of whether your vehicle is
in the READY state or not.

[ The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
HAZARD WARNING FLASHER

08
8-3
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.
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
button to the N (Neutral) position 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 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 button into P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and place Engine start/
stop button in 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 you have a flat tire, follow the
Tire Mobility Kit instructions provided
later in this chapter.
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING

Emergency Situations8-4
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

[ Be sure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the gear is in N (Neutral) or 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 the vehicle still does not start, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
NOTICE
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.

Emergency Situations8-6
NOTICE
External power source using 12V battery
The use of external power accessories
may reduce performance and function
of the vehicle. Especially, the use of
dash cameras may shut off the power of
the vehicle prior to the dash camera’s
automatic shut-down.
If the power of the vehicle is shut off,
start the vehicle as explained. (refer to
“Using the 12V Battery Reset 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 to the engine compartment
jumper terminals using a 12V booster
pack or jumper cables from another
vehicle’s 12V battery according to the
following instructions.
CAUTION
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, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service do
it for you.
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
Avoid fans or any moving parts in the
engine compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
2. 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.
CAUTION
Before jump starting, make sure to
correctly identify the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals to avoid reverse
polarity connections.
ONX4080003
3. 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).
4. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle (2).
5. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/jumper
terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
6. 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 negative (-) jumper terminal of the
discharged battery. A spark could cause
the battery to explode and lead to a
personal injury or vehicle damage.

7. Press the 12V Battery Reset switch.
8. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run for a few
minutes.
9. Start your vehicle as soon as possible. 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.
If your vehicle will not start after a few
attempts, it probably requires service.
In this event please seek qualified
assistance. If the cause of your battery
discharging is not apparent, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connected them:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from the black, negative (-) chassis ground of
your vehicle (4).
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, negative
(-) battery/chassis ground of the
assisting vehicle (3).
3. Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle (2).
4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the red,
charging terminal inside the engine
compartment fuse panel (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).
CAUTION

[The use of an improper charger with a
voltage and current range higher than
specified may cause overheating and
damage to the 12V battery.

[ The use of an incorrect charger 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.
Information
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s) or
regulations.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle:

[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.
CAUTION
Do not jump start another vehicle with
your hybrid vehicle. Jump starting
another vehicle will damage the
hybrid vehicle’s 12 volt battery (lithium
polymer type).
WARNING
While jump starting your vehicle, avoid
the positive (+) and negative (-) cables
to come in contact. A spark could cause
personal injury.
