How To Start A Hyundai Hybrid Car

If you're a Hyundai fan and interested in transitioning into driving hybrid vehicles instead of gas or diesel, you'll be happy to know that you're spoiled for choice. The Hyundai brand offers a variety of hybrid models, from the Tucson SUV line to the sport KONA line. Regardless of which model you choose, you'll be guaranteed a pleasant driving experience, without all of the noise and vibrations that go into driving a conventional vehicle. In this article, we give you a step-by-step guide on how to start your Hyundai hybrid vehicle.

Is It Time to Switch to a Hyundai Hybrid Car?

Hybrid cars are all the rage as of late, and for good reason. They're an especially popular option among modern drivers, performing competitively in sales. Hybrid cars use a regular combustion engine while receiving varying levels of assistance from an electric motor depending on the specific model. Standard hybrid models have motors in which their batteries are charged by the engine, as well as regenerative braking. Hybrid models of the plug-in variety, on the other hand, have larger batteries that can be charged from the mains to achieve greater range.

The most highlighted benefit of owning a hybrid vehicle is their energy efficiency, which is achieved by taking advantage of both conventional combustion engines and electric-drive technologies, maximizing fuel economy. Hyundai hybrid cars can run on solely electric power, allowing drivers to experience driving with zero emissions, which is a gigantic plus for environmentally-conscious drivers.

Starting a Hyundai Hybrid Car

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to start your Hyundai hybrid car:

  • Place your foot on the foot brake.
  • Press the "Power" button located near your steering wheel, which will prompt your Hyundai hybrid car to start, the dashboard lighting up and playing an audio prompt.
  • For certain models, you'll need to press the "Power" button with your key fob.
  • If the green ready indicator light is illuminated, it means that you can start driving with no issues.
  • If the green ready indicator is off, a problem may have occurred with the system.
  • If the green ready indicator is blinking, there may be an electrical glitch or error.
  • You're ready to hit the road!

Hyundai Hybrid Car Maintenance Tips

Owning a hybrid car is an important investment that you'll want to make the most out of. Hence, it's crucial that you keep your Hyundai hybrid model in shape by following these maintenance tips:

  • Hybrid cars still require regular oil changes, tire alignment, and belt replacements as regularly as conventional vehicles do, making the transition smooth in terms of servicing frequency.
  • Remember to have your battery filter serviced regularly to ensure the functionality of your vehicle's battery pack.
