Hybrid battery cooling duct
2C_BatteryAirVent
The hybrid battery cooling duct is located below the center of the rear 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.
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, we recommend that you 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.
