7. Check if the charging indicator light
() of the high voltage battery in
the instrument cluster is turned ON.
Charging is not active when the
charging indicator light (
) is OFF.
If the charging cable is not connected
to the vehicle side inlet properly,
charging may not start. In this case,
try reconnecting charging cable to
vehicle inlet again.
Information
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging or when
the battery temperature is high, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery. It may generate noise or vibration
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a
normal condition when charging the high
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s
performance may be reduced due to
operation of the cooling system to charge
the high voltage battery. This is a normal
condition.
Information

[Even though charging is possible with
the Start/Stop button in the ON/START
position, for your safety, start charging
when the Start/Stop button is in the
OFF position and the vehicle shifted to
P (Park). After charging has started,
you can use electrical components such
as the radio by pressing the Start/Stop
button to the ACC or ON position.

[During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.

[During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.

If you open the driver seat door while
charging, the estimated charging time
is also displayed on the instrument
cluster for about 1 minute.
Information

[Depending on the condition and
durability of the high voltage battery,
charger specifications, and ambient
temperature, the time required for
charging the battery may vary.

[In rare cases, you might hear high
frequency noise (very little beep sound)
outside the car when charging with
400V DC charger that is deteriorated
or has long communication delay. The
high frequency noise can be generated
only when the car tries to reduce its
own electromagnetic waves to keep DC
charging as possible.
So, there is no need to worry about this
little noise, because it is the intentional
operation of the car that does not
affect any charging performance or the
vehicle itself at all.

Air conditioning system operation tips

[If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.

[After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from
recirculation mode to fresh mode.

[To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.

[Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system
performance.

[If you operate air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause
the outer surface of the windshield to
fog up, causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection to the

position and fan speed control to the
lowest speed.
