Foreword / Starting your Electric vehicle
Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. While
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as fuel,
electric vehicles use electrical energy
that is charged inside the high voltage
battery. As a result, electric vehicles are
eco-friendly in that they do not require
fuel and do not emit exhaust gases.
Characteristics of Electric
Vehicles
1. It is driven using the electrical energy
that is charged inside the high voltage
battery. This method prevents air
pollution since fuel, like gasoline, is
not required, negating the emission of
exhaust gases.
2. A high performance motor is used
in the vehicle as well. Compared to
standard, internal combustion engine
vehicles, engine noise and vibrations
are much more minimal when driving.
3. When decelerating or driving
downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimizes energy loss
and increases the distance to empty.
4. When the battery charge is not
sufficient, AC charge, DC charge and
trickle charge are available. (Refer to
“Charge Types for Electric Vehicle” for
details.)
Information
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses an electric motor when decelerating
and braking and transforms kinetic
energy to electrical energy in order to
charge the high voltage battery. (Torque
is applied in the opposite direction when
decelerating to generate braking force and
electric energy.)
Battery Information

[The vehicle is composed of a high
voltage battery that drives the motor
and air-conditioner, and an auxiliary
battery (12 V) that powers all the
vehicle controllers, lamps, wipers, and
audio system.

[The auxiliary battery is automatically
charged when the vehicle is in the
ready (
) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.
The 12V battery is also occasionally
charged by battery saver function
from the high voltage battery under
certain conditions at vehicle off
condition.

Charging current
OJWEVQ011100L

[You can adjust the charging
current for an AC charger. Select an
appropriate charging current.

[If the charging process does not
start or abruptly stops in the middle,
reselect another proper current and
re-try charging the vehicle.

[Charging time varies depending on
which charging current is selected.
Battery conditioning mode
OJWEVQ011101L
You can select or deselect the Battery
conditioning mode.
The Battery conditioning mode is
efficient during the winter time when the
high voltage battery temperature is low.
This mode is recommended to improve
driving and DC charging performances
during winter by raising the battery
temperature to an adequate level.
However, the driving distance may be
reduced as the energy is required to
increase battery temperature.
Also, if the battery temperature is low
during driving or when scheduled air
conditioner/heater is activated, this
mode is operated to improve driving
performance and charging performance.
However, the mode is not operated to
ensure driving distance when the battery
level is low.
Information
This mode is available for the vehicles
equipped with the battery heater.

Foreword / Starting your Electric vehicle

[Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after
completing a recharge may vary
significantly depending on previous
operating patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, resulting
in the high voltage battery using more
electricity than usual, the estimated
distance to empty is reduced. When
the high voltage battery uses little
electricity in ECO mode, the estimated
distance to empty increases.

[ Distance to empty may depend on
many factors such as the charge
amount of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, durability of
the battery, geographical features,
and driving style.

[Natural degradation may occur with
the high voltage battery depending
on the number of years the vehicle is
used. This may reduce the distance to
empty.
When destination is set
When the destination is set, the distance
to empty may change. The distance
to empty is recalculated using the
information of the destination. However,
the distance to empty may vary
significantly based on traffic conditions,
driving habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
Tips for Improving Distance to
Empty

[If you operate the air conditioner /
heater too much, the driving battery
uses too much electricity. This
may reduce the distance to empty.
Therefore, it is recommended that
you set the cabin temperature to 72°F
(22°C) AUTO. This setting that has
been certified by various assessment
tests to maintain optimal energy
consumption rates while keeping the
temperature fresh.
Turn OFF the heater and air
conditioner if you do not need them.

[When the heater or air conditioning
system is on the energy consumption
is reduced if recirculation mode is
selected instead of selecting the fresh
mode. The fresh mode requires large
amount of energy consumption as
the outside air has to be re-heated or
cooled.

[When using the heater or air
conditioning system use the DRIVER
ONLY or scheduled air conditioner/
heater function.

[Depress and hold the accelerator
pedal to maintain speed and drive
economically.

[Gradually depress and release the
accelerator pedal when accelerating
or decelerating.

[Always maintain specified tire
pressures.

[Do not use unnecessary electrical
components while driving.

[Do not load unnecessary items in the
vehicle.

[Do not mount parts that may increase
air resistance.

wheels off the ground.
WARNING
OJWEVQ011031

[If you tow the vehicle while the 2WD:
rear, AWD: front/rear wheels are
touching the ground, the vehicle
motor may generate electricity
and the motor components may be
damaged or a fire may occur.

[When a vehicle fire occurs due to the
battery, there is a risk of a second
fire. Contact the fire department
when towing the vehicle.
Other Precautions for Electric
Vehicle

[When you paint or apply heat
treatment to the vehicle as a result of
an accident, the performance of the
high voltage battery can be reduced.

[If heat treatment is required, contact
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.

[When you clean the motor
compartment, do not use high
pressure water to wash. This may
cause an electric shock due to a
discharge in high voltage electricity,
or damage the vehicle’s electric
system.

[Use, remodel, or install genuine
Genesis part or the equivalent (of
the genuine part) specified for your
vehicle.

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of
the seat belt to retract and listen for
an audible "clicking" or "ratcheting"
sound. This indicates that the retractor
is in the "Automatic Locking" mode.
If no distinct sound is heard, repeat
steps 3 and 4.
5. Remove as much slack from the belt
as possible by pushing down on the
Child Restraint System while feeding
the shoulder belt back into the
retractor.
6. Push and pull on the Child Restraint
System to confirm that the seat belt
is holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps
2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in
the "Automatic Locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot,
the retractor is in the "Automatic
Locking" mode.
If your Child Restraint System
manufacturer instructs or recommends
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/
shoulder belt, refer to the previous pages
for more information.
Information
When the seat belt is allowed to retract to
its fully stowed position, the retractor will
automatically switch from the “Automatic
Locking” mode to the emergency lock
mode for normal adult usage.
WARNING
If the retractor is not in the “Automatic
Locking” mode, the child restraint
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops suddenly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child restraint
is not properly anchored in the car,
including manually pulling the seat belt
all the way out to shift the retractor to
the “Automatic Locking” mode.
To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the Child Restraint System and allow the
seat belt to retract fully.
WARNING
If a child restraint is installed in the
second row center seat, move the
second row seat far back as possible, to
minimize contact with the front center
air bag.

Where are the Air Bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bags
„Driver’s front air bag
OJWEV031026
„Driver’s knee air bag
OJWEV031027
„Passenger’s front air bag
OJWEV031028
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions.The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel, in the driver’s side lower crash
pad below the steering wheel, and the
passenger’s side front panel pad above
the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt system alone in case of a
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine
if the driver and front passenger's
seat belts are fastened. These sensors
provide the ability to control the SRS
deployment based on whether or not the
seat belts are fastened, and how severe
the impact is.The advanced SRS offers
the ability to control the air bag inflation
within two levels. A first stage level is
provided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.According to the
impact severity, and seat belt usage, the
SRS Control Module(SRSCM) controls
the air bag inflation. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.

3-54
Safety System
During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the
vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the control
unit will inflate the front air bags, at the
time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact
or rollover by supporting the side upper
body area.

[Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the Start/Stop
button is in the ON or START position
and it can be activated within about 3
minutes after the vehicle is turned off.

[Air bags inflate in the event of certain
frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.

[There is no single speed at which the
air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags
are designed to inflate based upon the
severity of a collision and its direction.
These two factors determine whether
the sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.

[The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see the
air bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after
the collision.
[In addition to inflating in serious side
collisions, vehicles equipped with a
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain
air bags and front center air bag will
inflate if the sensing system detects a
rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain
air bags will remain inflated longer to
help provide protection from ejection,
especially when used in conjunction
with the seat belts. (if equipped with a
rollover sensor)

[To help provide protection, the air
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed
of air bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which
to inflate the air bag between the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a
necessary part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation
can also cause injuries which can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.

[There are even circumstances under
which contact with the air bag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air bag.
The greatest risk is sitting too close to
the air bag. An air bag needs about 10
in. (25 cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA
recommends that drivers allow at least
10 in. (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
