 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 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 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 luggage compartment may be 

damaged.

• 

Secure all loads in the luggage 

compartment to prevent them from 

being tossed about before driving. 

When a sharp or heavy load strike 

with a strong impact or pierce the 

interior luggage compartment 

wall, the hybrid battery system 

may be damaged, deteriorating its 

performance.

• 

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 death may occur.

• 

Any gas or electrolyte leakage from 

your vehicle is not only poisonous 

but also flammable. Upon witnessing 

any of these conditions, open the 

windows, and remain a safe distance 

from the vehicle out of the road.
Immediately call emergency services 

or contact an authorized HYUNDAI 

dealer and advise them that a hybrid 

vehicle is involved.

• 

When the vehicle is severely 

damaged, remain a safe distance 

of 15 meter or more between 

your vehicle and other vehicles/

flammables.
