Hybrid system quick reference
H2
Hyundai Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
uses a gasoline engine and an electric
motor for power. The electric motor is
run from a 280V high voltage HEV battery.
HEV computer decides according to
drive condition when to use engine
from when to use the electric motor or
even both at times.
Fuel is saved when the engine is not
running at idle at times or the vehicle
is driven by the electric motor from
the HEV battery.
The charge of the HEV battery has to
be maintained so at times the engine
becomes a generator which includes
when stopped at idle. Charging also
occurs when decelerating or by
regenerative braking.
Display of Hybrid system
Many displays provide information about
the hybrid system, such as, ECO level
and ECO score.
Through the ECO LEVEL, the driver understands the situation of economical driving.
If the driver drives the vehicle with economical driving, the ECO LEVEL rises.
And it means the CO2 emission reduction.
In TOTAL ECO SCORE, when you get the
maximum step of ECO LEVEL, ECO system adds the score and saves the score.
Eco level display flower mode.1
When the hybrid vehicle is started, the
ECO level step 4 is displayed. If you drive
economically, ECO level will be upgraded.
- However, if you do not drive economically, the ECO level will be down-graded.

This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data
as:
* How various systems in your vehicle
were operating:
* Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
* How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
* How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances
in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed.
In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
