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.

This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is
near the “L (Low)” level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery.
However, if the Service Indicator (
)
and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
(
) turn on when the SOC gauge is
near the “L (Low)” level, have the vehicle
be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Warning and Indicator Lights
Ready indicator
This indicator illuminates:
When the vehicle is ready to be driven. -
ON : Normal driving is possible.
- OFF : Normal driving is not possible, or a problem has occurred.
When the ready indicator goes OFF,
there is a problem with the system. If this
occurs, have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
EV mode indicator
This indicator illuminates:
When the vehicle is driven by the electric
mo
tor.
Charging Cable Connection
Indicator (Plug-in hybrid
vehicle)
This indicator illuminates in red when the
charging cable is connected.
Service warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or the E
ngine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.

- The service warning light illuminates
for approximately 3 seconds and
then turns off when all checks have
been performed.
• When there is a problem with the hybrid vehicle control system or
hardware.
When the warning light illuminates while
driving, or does not go OFF after starting
the vehicle, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Regenerative brake warning
light
(yellow)
This warning light illuminates:
When the regenerative brake does not
oper
ate and the brake does not perform
well. This causes the Brake Warning
light (red) and Regenerative Brake
Warning Light (yellow) to illuminate
simultaneously.
If this occurs, drive safely and have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. The operation of the
brake pedal may be more difficult than
normal and the braking distance may
increase.

This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is
near the “L (Low)” level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery.
However, if the Service Indicator (
)
and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
(
) turn on when the SOC gauge is near
the “L (Low)” level, we recommend the
vehicle be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
Never try to start the vehicle if the fuel
tank is empty. In this condition, the
engine cannot charge the high voltage
battery of the hybrid system. If you
try to start the vehicle when the fuel
is empty, the high voltage battery will
become discharged and be damaged.

[ CS (Charge Sustaining, Hybrid) mode :
The high-voltage (hybrid) battery and
gasoline engine is used to drive the
vehicle.
Information
Even when the battery charging rate
is high and driving in electric mode is
possible, engine may turn on in some areas
to protect the system.

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.
