Foreword / Starting your Electric vehicle
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 reduced 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 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.
OJWEVQ011118N
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.

Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS)
generates sound for pedestrians to hear
because there is no sound while the
Electric Vehicle (EV) is operating.

[If the vehicle is in the ready (
)
mode and any gear other than P (Park)
is selected, the VESS will be operated.

[When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
CAUTION

[The vehicle is much quieter while
driving than a conventional gasoline-
powered vehicle. Be aware of your
surroundings and always drive safely.

[After you park the vehicle or while
you are waiting at a traffic light,
check whether there are children or
obstacles around the vehicle.

[Check if there is something behind
the vehicle when driving in reverse.
Pedestrians may not hear the sound
of the vehicle.
Distance to Empty
OJWEVQ011036E
The distance to empty range displayed
will vary depending upon which
drive mode is selected in 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
198 miles (320 km).

[Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON,
the distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance
range from 186 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 mile’ 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.

1-54
Foreword / Starting your Electric vehicle

[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.

[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.
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 that 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.

Foreword / Starting your Electric vehicle
Power/Charge Gauge
OJWEVQ011037N
The Power/Charge Gauge shows the
energy consumption and recovery status
of the electric motor.

[POWER:
It shows discharging status of the
electric motor when vehicle is
accelerating or driving on a uphill
road. The more electric energy is
discharged (used), the higher the
gauge level.

[CHARGE:
It shows the charging status of
the electric motor when vehicle
is decelerating or driving on a
downhill road (being charged by
the regenerative brakes). The more
electric energy is charged, the higher
the gauge level.
State Of Charge (SOC) Gauge for
High Voltage Battery
OJWEVQ011019

[The SOC gauge shows the charging
status of the high voltage battery.

[The lower the SOC %, the lower
the energy is stored in high voltage
battery, and the more battery
charging is required to increase
driving range. 100 % 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.

than 10 % on the SOC gauge, the
warning light (
) turns ON to alert
you of the battery level.
2. When the warning light (
)
turns ON, the vehicle can drive an
additional 18~30 miles (30~50 km)
depending on the driving speed,
heater/air conditioner, weather,
driving style, and other factors.
Charging is required.
