EV Charging Troubleshooting - Steps to Consider
If the vehicle fails to charge after being plugged in to a charging station or if plugged in when using the portable charger,
check the following:
1. Verify the charge mode is set to immediate. (i.e. confirm that scheduled charging is turned OFF)
2. Check the operation status of the charging station or the portable charger.
3. Check to see if there are any warning messages in the LCD cluster. Refer to "LCD Display Messages" in this sec-
tion.
4. If there is an error message on the charging station display screen, there may be a problem with the charging sta-
tion. Try to charge the vehicle with a different charging station.
5. If the vehicle fails to charge with different charging station equipment, there may be a problem with the vehicle.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for inspection.

5. Check if the " " indicator is
turned OFF on the instrument
cluster.
When the " " indicator is ON
and the gear is in a position other
than P (Park), the driver can acci-
dently depress the accelerator
pedal, causing the vehicle to move
unexpectedly.
Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear vehicle sound because
there is no sound while the Electric
Vehicle (EV) is operating.
If the vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode and the gear is not in
P(Park), the VESS will operate.
When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
Distance to Empty
The distance to empty is displayed
differently according to the selected
drive mode in the Drive Mode
Integrated Control System.
For more information, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System" in
chapter 5.
OAEEQ019055

The vehicle is much quieter
while driving than a conven-
tional gasoline-powered vehi-
cle. Be aware of your surround-
ings and always drive safely.
After you park the vehicle or
while you are waiting at a traf-
fic light, check whether there
are children or obstacles
around the vehicle.
Check if there is something
behind the vehicle when driv-
ing in reverse. Pedestrians

When destination is not set
On average, a vehicle can drive
about 168 miles (271 km). Under
certain circumstances where the
air conditioner/heater is ON, the
distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance
range from 118~217 miles
(190~350 km). When using the
heater during cold weather or driv-
ing at high speed, the high voltage
battery consumes a lot more elec-
tricity. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty significantly.
After "__" has been displayed, the
vehicle may be stopped depending
on heater/air conditioner, weather,
driving style, and other factors. Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after
completing a recharge may vary
significantly depending on previ-
ous operating patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, result-
ing 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 dis-
tance to empty may change. The dis-
tance 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 condi-
tion of the vehicle.

H49
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
73°F (23°C) AUTO. This setting that
has been certified by various
assessment tests to maintain opti-
mal energy consumption rates while
keeping the temperature fresh.
Turn OFF the heater and air condi-
tioner if you do not need them.
Depress and hold the accelerator
pedal to maintain speed and drive
economically.
Gradually depress and release the
accelerator pedal when accelerat-
ing 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.
Power/Charge Gauge
The Power/Charge Gauge shows the
energy consumption rate of the vehi-
cle and the charge/discharge status
of the regenerative brakes.
POWER :
It shows the energy consumption rate
of the vehicle when driving uphill or
accelerating. The more electric ener-
gy is used, the higher the gauge level.
CHARGE :
It shows the charging status of the
battery when it is being charged by
the regenerative brakes (decelerat-
ing or driving on a downhill road).
The more electric energy is charged,
the lower the gauge level.
State of Charge (SOC) Gauge
for High Voltage Battery
The SOC gauge shows the charg-
ing status of the high voltage bat-
tery.
"L (Low)" position on the indicator
indicates that there is not enough
energy in the high voltage battery.
"H (High)" position indicates that
the driving battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or
motorways, make sure to check in
advance if the driving battery is
charged enough.

When there are 4~5 gauge bars
(near the "L (Low)" area) on the SOC
gauge, the warning lamp turns ON to
alert you of the battery level.
When the warning lamp turns ON,
the vehicle can drive an additional
18~25 miles (30~40 km) depending
on the driving speed, heater/air con-
ditioner, weather, driving style, and
other factors. Charging is required.When the high voltage battery
level is low, the power down warn-
ing illuminates and the power out-
put from the vehicle is limited.
Charge the battery immediately
since your vehicle may not drive
uphill or skid on a slope with the
warning light ON.
