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 degraded 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 you 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 START or ON position.
During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.

10. After charging has started, the estimated charging time is displayed
on the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
If you open the driver seat door while
charging, the estimated charging time
is also displayed on the instrument
cluster for about 1 minute.
When scheduled charging is set, the
estimated charging time is displayed
as “--” .
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.
