VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/ fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(for example, name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Understanding Your Electric Vehicle
Electric vehicles are driven using a battery and an electric motor. Understand the
characteristics of your electric vehicle and check the features that you must know before
driving it.
Characteristics of Your Electric Vehicle
The characteristics that differentiate electric vehicles from gasoline vehicles are as
follows:
• Electric vehicles are eco-friendly because they do not use fossil fuels for driving. Additionally, unlike gasoline vehicles, noise and vibration are minimal, and the
vehicle’s lifespan is relatively long.
• When slowing down or driving downhill, regenerative braking is used. Regenerative braking charges the high voltage battery and minimizes energy loss.
• If the high voltage battery is running low, you can charge the vehicle using the AC charger, DC charger, or portable charging cables. For more information, refer to the
"Charging Your Electric Vehicle" section in this chapter.
Information Regenerative braking uses an electric motor when decelerating and braking, and it transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in order to charge the high voltage battery.
Battery information
The batteries used in the electric vehicle are as follows:
•High voltage battery (high capacity) : Drives the motor and operates the air
conditioner and heater. It can be charged via an AC charger, DC charger, or portable
charger.
• 12 V battery : Operates all lights, wipers, and audio system. The 12 V battery charge can
also be maintained by the high voltage battery at parked condition at certain
conditions.
Main components of your electric vehicle
The main components of your electric vehicle and their functions are as follows:
• On-Board Charger (OBC) : Charges the high voltage battery by converting the power
grid’s AC power to DC power.
• Inverter : Converts power from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) and
supplies power to the motor, and converts power from AC to DC to charge the high
voltage battery during deceleration and braking.
• Low Voltage DC-DC Converter (LDC) : Converts the high voltage battery’s power
source to a low voltage (12 V) power source for supply of power to the electrical devices
on the vehicle.

•Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) : Controls the various controllers and sensors on the
vehicle.
• Motor : Uses electricity accumulated on the high voltage battery to drive the vehicle
(same role as an engine in gasoline vehicles).
• Gear: Delivers the 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. (The separately installed 12 V battery provides power to
the vehicle when the vehicle is in ACC or OFF.)
WARNING • Do not remove or disassemble any high voltage battery’s connectors and wires. Doing so may lead to accidents, such as electric shock, and result in serious injury and
significantly degrade the vehicle’s performance and durability.
• When the high voltage battery or its related components require inspection and maintenance, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Precautions When Using the High Voltage Battery
Precautions for high voltage battery when driving and storing the vehicle are as follows:
CAUTION • Keep the gauge of the high voltage battery from going below 10 %. Storing the vehicle while the battery level is too low for a long time may damage the battery or reduce the
battery’s capacity.
• If a collision occurs and the vehicle is impacted, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and check the battery connection status.
• Using the V2L function may reduce the driving distance due to the use of high voltage battery energy, and repeated use of the V2L function may impact battery life.
• Frequent use of DC charging may impact battery life.
• The high voltage battery level may reduce naturally even if the vehicle is not driven.
• Storing the vehicle in temperatures that are too hot or cold may degrade the battery performance.
• The distance to empty or power output may vary depending on the driving conditions, such as the outside temperature. Driving on highway at high speeds or uphill will
increase battery consumption, resulting in a shorter distance to empty.
• If you use the air conditioner or heater, which is powered by the high voltage battery, the distance to empty will be reduced. Maintain reasonable temperature when using
the air conditioner or heater to maximize distance to empty.
• Depending on the vehicle’s period of use, natural degradation of the battery may occur that reduces distance to empty over long period of vehicle life. When the charge

capacity and distance to empty keep failing, have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If you do not use the vehicle for a long time, charge the vehicle at least once every three months to prevent both the high voltage and the 12 V battery from fully discharging.
When the battery level has low level, immediately charge the vehicle.
• Using AC charging as much as possible can help keep the battery in optimal condition. Fully charging the battery when it is 20 % or lower helps to keep the battery in optimal
condition. (Charging once a month or more is recommended.)
• The charging level value displayed on the instrument cluster may decrease according to the charging conditions (charger status, outside temperature, battery temperature,
etc.). For longer battery life and safety, after a certain charging level is reached, the
charging current is gradually lowered to fully charge the battery.
Other Precautions for Electric Vehicle Management
CAUTION • When heat treatment after repairs or painting is applied to the vehicle due to an accident, the high voltage battery’s performance may be degraded. If heat treatment
is required, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• When cleaning the motor compartment, do not use a high pressure washer. Doing so may result in electric shock, due to a discharge in high voltage electricity, or damage
the vehicle’s electric system.
• Do not install third-party parts or modified parts on the vehicle. Doing so may damage the electric power system. Only use or install genuine parts.

Charging Your Electric Vehicle
Check the detailed information about charging an electric vehicle and charge your
vehicle.
Electric vehicles can be charged via an AC charger or DC charger installed at public
charging stations. If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station in the event
of an emergency, you can charge the vehicle via the In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) with a
power source (AC 120 V).
To find a nearby public charging station, refer to the “Searching for nearby charging
stations” in this chapter.
Safety Precautions for Charging Your Electric Vehicle
Before charging your electric vehicle, read and comply with all the safety information
below. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire and result in a serious injury,
death, vehicle malfunction, or property damage.
Precautions for electric medical devices
WARNING Electromagnetic waves that are generated from the charger can seriously impact electric
medical devices, such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker. When using such devices,
make sure to consult with your doctor and the manufacturer to find out whether charging
your electric vehicle will impact the operation of your device.
Basic safety precautions for charging
WARNING • Before charging, apply the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with the brake pedal pressed, shift to P (Park) and turn off the vehicle. Movement of the vehicle while
charging may result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
• Use specified electric vehicle charger only. Failure to do so may damage the charger, charging cable, or vehicle. Also, it may lead to safety hazards, such as fire, explosion,
etc.
• To avoid death, serious injury, or property damage electric shock and fire, follow the instructions below:
- Do not touch the interior of the charging connector, charging plug, or the vehicle charging inlet when connecting the cable to the charger and the charging inlet on
the vehicle.
- Do not touch the charging connector and charging plug with wet hands, or when standing in water or snow while connecting the charging cable.
- When connecting or removing the charging cable, you must hold the charging connector handle and charging plug.

- Use a waterproof charger. Do not charge the vehicle in a place where rainwater may come in contact with the joints of the charging cable connector and the charging
plug.
- Ensure there is no water, dust, or other contaminants on the charging cable connector and the charging plug.
- Immediately stop charging if you feel abnormal conditions, such as odor or smoke.
- Do not charge the vehicle if there is a risk of lightning.
Information • While charging, the gear cannot be shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.
• Ensure the vehicle door is unlocked before disconnecting the charging connector. The release button on the charging connector does not work when the vehicle door is locked.
• To control the temperature of the high voltage battery while charging or when the battery temperature is high, the air conditioning is used to cool down the battery. It may generate noise
or vibration from operation of the air conditioning compressor and cooling fan, but this is a
normal condition when charging the high voltage battery.
• The cooling system may be operated when using the air conditioner during charging. This may degrade the air conditioner’s performance temporarily.
• 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 (a small beeping sound) outside the vehicle when charging with a 400 V DC charger that has deteriorated or has long communication delay.
The high-frequency noise can be generated only when the vehicle tries to reduce its own
electromagnetic waves to keep DC charging as stable as possible. This beep sound does not
affect the charging performance or the vehicle itself.
Precautions for operating the cooling fan
WARNING
