active when the charging connector
indicator light (
) is OFF.
When the charging connector is not
connected properly, reconnect the
charging cable to charge it again.
During cold weather, DC charging
may not be available to prevent high
voltage battery degradation.
Information
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging, the
air conditioner is used to cool down
the battery which may generate noise
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan.
Also, the air conditioner’s performance
may be degraded during due to operation
of the cooling system for the high voltage
battery.

Foreword / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
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 charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.
ORG3EVQ011055L
8. 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.
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.
Checking Charging Status
When charging the high voltage battery,
the charge level can be checked from
outside the vehicle.
For more details, refer to ‘Charge
Indicator Lamp for Electric Vehicle’ in
this chapter.
How to Disconnect DC Charger
1. Remove the charging connector
when DC charging is completed, or
after you stop charging using the DC
charger. Refer to each respective DC
charger manual for details about how
to disconnect the charging connector.
2. Make sure to completely close the
charging door.

Distance to Empty
ORG3EVQ011043E
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 6.
When destination is not set

[On average, a vehicle can drive about
282 miles (454 km).

[Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON,
the distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance range
from 161 miles (300 km). When using
the heater during cold weather
or driving at high speed, the high
voltage battery consumes a lot more
electricity. This may reduce the
distance to empty significantly.

[After ‘0 km’ has been displayed,
the vehicle can drive an additional
2~5 miles (3~8 km) depending on
driving speed, 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 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. When the ambient
temperature is low such as in winter,
the actual driving distance may
reduce due to degradation of the
battery.

[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.

1-53
01
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 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.
