Foreword / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
MAIN COMPONENTS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Main Components of Electric
Vehicle

[On-Board Charger (OBC) : A device
that charges the high voltage battery
by converting AC power of the power
grid to DC power.

[Inverter : Transforms direct current
into alternate current to supply power
to the motor, and transforms alternate
current into direct current to charge
the high voltage battery.

[LDC : Transforms power from the high
voltage battery to low voltage (12 V) to
supply power to the vehicle (DC-DC).

[VCU : Control the various controls on
the vehicle.

[Motor : Uses electrical energy stored
inside the high voltage battery to drive
the vehicle (functions like an engine in
a standard vehicle).

[Reduction gear : Delivers rotational
force of the motor to the tires at
appropriate speeds and torque.

[High voltage battery (lithium-ion
battery) : Stores and supplies power
necessary for the electric vehicle
to operate (12 V auxiliary battery
provides power to the vehicle features
such as lights and wipers).
ÃOBC : On-Board Charger
ÃLDC : Low Voltage DC-DC Converter
ÃVCU : Vehicle Control Unit
WARNING

[Do not intentionally remove
or disassemble high voltage
components and high voltage
battery connectors and wires. Also,
be careful not to damage high
voltage components and the high
voltage battery. It may cause serious
injury and significantly impact the
performance and durability of the
vehicle.

[When inspection and maintenance
is required for high voltage
components and the high voltage
battery, contact an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
High Voltage Battery
(lithium-ion battery)

[The charge amount of the high
voltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
being driven.

[The battery capacity of the high
voltage battery may decrease when
the vehicle is stored in high/low
temperatures.

[Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving conditions
(such as outside temperature), even
if the charge amount is the same.
The high voltage battery may expend
more energy when driving at high-
speed or uphill. These actions may
reduce the distance to empty.

[The high voltage battery is used when
using the air-conditioner / heater.
This may reduce the distance to
empty. Make sure to set moderate
temperatures when using the air-
conditioner/heater.

NOTICE

[Ambient temperature affects the tire pressure (about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every
12°F (7°C) change). If colder temperatures are anticipated, it is permissible to
increase cold tire inflation pressure by up to 3 psi (20 kPa) over the specification.
If extreme temperature changes are expected, be sure to check and adjust tire
pressure accordingly.

[Tire inflation pressure decreases with higher elevation, and increases with lower
elevation (about 2.4 psi (10 kPa) for every mile (or kilometer) elevation change).
Be sure to check and adjust tire pressure accordingly when driving through
changing elevations.

[Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure, as found on the sidewall of the
tire(s).
CAUTION
When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, brand, construction and
tread pattern supplied with the vehicle. If not, it can damage the related parts or
make it work irregularly.

securely.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:

[ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving.
For more information, refer to “Seat
Belts” section in chapter 3.

[Always drive defensively. Assume
other drivers or pedestrians may be
careless and make mistakes.

[Stay focused on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause
accidents.

[Leave plenty of space between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving
is dangerous and may result in an
accident and SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions and
emergencies and your reaction time
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous as or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drinking
or taking drugs. Choose a designated
driver or call a taxi.

Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
Vehicle Stability Management is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps the vehicle
stay stable when accelerating or braking
suddenly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four tires
can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Vehicle Stability Management:

[ALWAYS check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead. VSM
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices.

[Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. VSM will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, on slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe accidents.
