Aux. Battery Saver+
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that
monitors the charging status of the 12 V
auxiliary battery. If the auxiliary battery
level is low, the main high voltage battery
charges the auxiliary battery.
Information

[The Aux. Battery Saver+ function
cannot prevent battery discharge if the
auxiliary battery is damaged, worn out,
used as a power supply or unauthorized
electronic devices are used.

[If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was
activated the high voltage battery level
may have decreased.
WARNING
ORG3EVQ011146
When the function is activating the
indicator lamp will illuminate and high
voltage electricity will be flowing in
the vehicle. Do not touch the high
voltage electric wire, connector, and
all electric components and devices.
This may cause electric shock and lead
to injuries. Also, do not modify your
vehicle in any way. This may affect your
vehicle performance and lead to an
accident.

01
If an Accident Occurs
WARNING

[When a vehicle accident occurs,
move the vehicle to a safe place,
turn OFF the vehicle and disconnect
the high voltage cut-off switch from
the auxiliary battery (12V) to prevent
high voltage electricity from flowing.

[If electric wires are exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle, do not
touch the wires.
Also, do not touch the high voltage
electric wire (orange), connector,
and all electric components and
devices. This may cause electric
shock and lead to injuries.
WARNING

[When a vehicle accident occurs and
the high voltage battery is damaged,
harmful gas and electrolytes may
leak. Be careful not to touch the
leaked liquid.

[When you suspect leakage of
inflammable gas and other harmful
gases, open the windows and
evacuate to a safe place. If any
leaked fluid comes in contact with
your eyes or skin, immediately clean
the affected area thoroughly with
tap water or saline solution and
have doctors inspect it as soon as
possible.
WARNING

[If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible
to extinguish the fire in the early
stage, maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle and immediately call your
local fire emergency responders.
Also, advise them that an electric
vehicle is involved.

[If the fire spreads to the high
voltage battery, large amount of
water is needed to put out the fire.
Using small amount of water or
fire extinguishers not meant for
electrical fires could cause serious
injury or death from electrical
shocks.
WARNING

[If you cannot put out the fire
immediately, the high voltage
battery may explode. Evacuate to
a safe place and do not let other
people approach the site.
Contact the fire department and
notify them of an electric vehicle fire.

[If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn off the vehicle and
evacuate to a safe place. Contact
the fire department or an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
WARNING
ORG3EV081033L
ORG3EV081012

[If towing is required, lift all wheels
to tow. Towing with the wheels on

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.
High Voltage Cut-Off Switch
ORG3EVQ011010

the vehicle will not start.
NOTICE
Putting the excessive force to the
switch lever while shutting down the
high voltage battery may severely
damage the high voltage cut-off switch.
