7. Check if the charging indicator light of the high voltage battery
on the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when the
charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector and
charging plug are not connected
properly, reconnect the charging
cable to charge.
Information
• Even though charging is possible with
the ignition switch in the ON/START
position, for your safety, start charging
when the ignition switch is in the
LOCK/OFF position and the vehicle
shifted to P (Park). After charging
has started, you can use electrical
components such as the radio by
placing the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON position.
• During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.
• Moving the shift button from P (Park)
to R (Reverse)/N(Neutral)/D (Drive)
stops the charging process.
To restart the charging process, move
the shift button to P (Park), place the
ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF
position, and disconnect the charging
cable. Then, connect the charging cable.

8. After charging has started, the estimated charging time is displayed
on the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
If you open the driver seat door while
charging, the estimated charging time
is also displayed on the instrument
cluster for about 1 minute.
When scheduled charging is set, the
estimated charging time is displayed
as “--” .
Information
Depending on the condition and durability
of the high voltage battery, charger
specifications, and ambient temperature,
the time required for charging the battery
may vary.
Information
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging or when
the battery temperature is high, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery. It may generate noise or vibration
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a
normal condition when charging the high
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s
performance may be degraded due to
operation of the cooling system to charge
the high voltage battery. This is a normal
condition.
Checking Charging Status

When charging the high voltage battery,
the charge level can be checked from
outside the vehicle.

Starting the Vehicle
Vehicles with smart key system
1. Carry the smart key or leave it inside the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.
3. Make sure the shift button is in P (Park). With the shift button in N
(Neutral), you cannot start the vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop button. If the hybrid system starts, the “
”
indicator will come on.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing
the accelerator.
After following the start procedures,
“
” indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn on. For more details,
please check chapter 6.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERATION of
Hybrid system
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate and maintain a steady
cruising speed. Do not make “jack-
rabbit” starts. Do not race between
stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear out.
• The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle decelerates.
• When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatically
recharges the hybrid battery.
• When the engine is running with the shift button in N (Neutral), the hybrid
system cannot generate electricity.
The hybrid battery cannot recharge
with the shift button in N (Neutral).
Information
In the hybrid system, the engine
automatically runs and stops. When
the hybrid system operates, the “
”
indicator is illuminated.
In the following situation, the engine may
operate automatically.
- When the engine is ready to run
- When the hybrid battery is being
charged
- Depending on the temperature
condition of the hybrid battery
Special Features
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may
hear a sound from the hybrid battery
system under the floor. If you apply
the accelerator pedal rapidly, you may
hear an unconventional sound. When
you apply the brake pedal, you may
hear a sound from the regenerative
brake system. When the hybrid system
is turned off or on, you may hear a
sound in the engine compartment. If
you depress the brake pedal repeatedly
when the hybrid system is turned on,
you may hear a sound in the engine
compartment. None of these sounds
indicate a problem. These are normal
characteristics of hybrid vehicles.
If any of following occur, it’s a normal
condition if you hear a motor sound in
the engine compartment:
- After turning off the hybrid system, the brake pedal is released.
- When the hybrid system is turned off, the brake pedal is applied.
- When the driver door is opened.
