The hybrid system gauge indicates
whether the current driving condition is
fuel efficient or not.
• CHARGE: Shows that the energy made by the
vehicle is being converted to electrical
energy. (Regenerated energy)
• ECO: Shows that the vehicle is being driven
in an Eco-friendly manner.
• POWER:
Shows that the vehicle is exceeding
the Eco-friendly range.
According to the hybrid system gauge
area, the “EV” indicator comes on or off. - “EV” indicator ON : Vehicle is driven using the electric motor or the
gasoline engine is stopped.
- “EV” indicator OFF : Vehicle is driven using the gasoline engine.

near the “L (Low)” level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery.
However, if the Service Indicator (

NOTICE
• When the vehicle is paint baked, do
not bake over 30 minutes in 158°F
(70°C) or 20 minutes in 176°F (80°C)
degree.
• Do not wash the engine
compartment, using water. Water
may cause an electric shock and
damage the electronic components.
WARNING
This hybrid vehicle uses the hybrid
battery system inverter and converter
to generate high voltage. High voltage
in the hybrid battery system is very
dangerous and may cause severe burns
and electric shock. This may result in
serious injury or death.
• For your safety, never touch,
replace, disassemble or remove the
hybrid battery system including
components, cables and connectors.
Severe burns or electric shock may
result in serious injury or death when
you fail to follow this warning.
• When the hybrid battery system
operates, the hybrid battery system
can be hot. Always be careful
because burns or electric shock may
be caused by high voltage.
• Do not spill liquid on the HPCU, HSG,
motor and fuses. If the hybrid system
components come in contact with
liquid, it may result in electric shock.
Service Interlock Connector
ONX4HQ010013ONX4HQ010013
In case of emergency, cut the service
interlock connector cable to isolate the
high voltage of the battery.
WARNING
Never disconnect the service interlock
connector or cut the wire except in an
emergency situation.
Serious problems may occur, such as
the vehicle will not start.
Hybrid Battery Cooling Duct
ONX4HQ010014ONX4HQ010014
The hybrid battery cooling duct is
located of the Passenger’s seat. The
cooling duct cools down the hybrid
battery. When the hybrid battery cooling
duct is blocked, the hybrid battery may
be overheated.
Clean the cooling duct for the hybrid
battery with a dry cloth on a regular
basis.

Foreword/Starting your Hybrid/Plug-in hybrid vehicle1-72
WARNING
• Never clean the cooling duct of the
hybrid battery with a wet cloth. If
any water enters the cooling duct
of the hybrid battery, the hybrid
battery may cause an electric shock,
resulting in a serious damage, an
injury or a death.
• The hybrid battery is composed of
lithium-ion polymer. If the hybrid
battery is improperly handled, it is
dangerous to the environment. Also
it may cause electrical shock and
severe burns, resulting in a serious
injury or a death.
• Do not spill liquid over the cooling
duct of the hybrid battery. Doing
so is very dangerous. It may cause
electric shock or serious injury.
• Do not cover the cooling duct with
objects.
• Do not put any objects into the
cooling duct of the hybrid battery.
Doing so may cause loss of cooling
duct volume to the hybrid battery.
When the cooling duct is blocked
with any objects, immediately
contact your HYUNDAI dealer.
• Never place a container of liquid on
or near the cooling duct. If the liquid
spills, the hybrid battery located in
the under floor may be damaged.
• Do not obstruct the cooling duct
with any other objects.
If an accident occurs
WARNING
• For your safety, do not touch the
high voltage cables, connectors
and package modules. High voltage
components are orange in color.
• Exposed cables or wires may be
visible inside or outside of the
vehicle. Never touch the wires or
cables, because an electrical shock,
an injury, or a death may occur.
• Any gas or electrolyte leakage from
your vehicle is not only poisonous
but also flammable. Upon witnessing
one of those, open the windows,
and remain a safe distance from the
vehicle out of the road.
Immediately call an emergency
services or contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and advise them
that a hybrid vehicle is involved.
