6. When charging is complete, hold the charging connector handle with the unlock button pressed and pull on the charging connector to disconnect it from the charging
inlet.
• Depending on the DC charger types, some DC chargers may not have a charger connector unlock button so it may be necessary to stop at the DC charger control
panel or by charger company's app.
CAUTION Before disconnecting the charging connector, check if there is an unlock button on the
connector handle. If the connector handle is equipped with an unlock button, forcibly
disconnecting the connector without pressing the button may damage the charging
connector or charging inlet on the vehicle.

NOTICE • For more information, refer to the “Setting charging connector locking mode” section in this chapter.

7. Close the charging inlet cover.
8. Press the charging door to completely close it.
Using a Portable Charger (ICCB)
If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station, you can charge the vehicle
using a separately purchased In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) in places where general power
(AC 120 V) is supplied.
WARNING Before charging the vehicle, carefully read and follow the instructions in “Setting
charging connector locking mode” to prevent property damage or injury due to electric
shock, fire, explosion, etc.

CAUTION To prevent property damage or injury due to fire or explosion, follow the instructions
below.
• Only use a genuine HYUNDAI portable charger (if equipped).
• Do not let children operate or touch the portable charger. Doing so may lead to unexpected accidents.
• Try to avoid using an extension cord, but if you must use to reach a 120 V outlet, ensure it is a medium to heavy duty grounded extension cord rated at 15 A minimum.
• The charger power you are using must comply with regulations and safely accommodate the Voltage, Current (Amps), and Power (Watts) ratings. If not, the
vehicle may not be charged or safety hazards, such as fire, may occur.

Using V2L Function
Using the Vehicle to Load (V2L) feature, you can turn on electronic devices by connecting
them to the high voltage battery.
Safety Precautions When Using the V2L Function
Before using the V2L function, read and comply with all the safety information below.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire and result in serious injury, death, vehicle
malfunction, or property damage.
Precautions when using the V2L function
WARNING • Do not use the V2L function if the V2L connector, charging inlet, power plug, or cable is damaged, corroded, or rusted.
• Do not touch the V2L connector, charging inlet, or power plug with wet hands.
• Do not use the V2L function if the connection part of the V2L connector and the charging inlet is loose.
• Check if there is no water, dust, or other contaminants before connecting the connector and the power plug. They may cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not put metal objects or touch the V2L connector or charging inlet with bare hands.
• For electric devices used outdoors in a vehicle, use a product that is waterproof or use it in a waterproof environment. If rain or humidity intrude into electric devices,
multi-outlets, extension cords, etc., it may cause electric shock or damage the vehicle
or devices.
• If there is a risk of lightning, do not use the V2L function outside the vehicle.
• Do not use electric heating appliances such as an electric kettle, toaster, or iron in the vehicle. Doing so may result in a fire and injury.

Precautions when the cooling fan operates
WARNING
WL_MotorRoomHotCaution
When using the V2L, the cooling fan in the vehicle motor compartment can operate
automatically even if the vehicle is turned off. Do not put your hand near the cooling fan
when the V2L is operating.

• The V2L discharging mode is blocked automatically in the event of overheating. When the discharging mode is blocked, check whether the V2L connector or power plug is
contaminated, worn, corroded or broken.
- If the temperature falls to a proper level after it is left unattended, you can use it again.
- If overheating repeats when using a certain electric device, do not use the electric device.
• Do not connect more than two extension cords or multi-outlet. Also, when using the extension cable, ensure that the cable is not twisted. Heat from the overlapped cable
may cause fire.
• Do not hang home appliances on the wire.
• Do not use if the sheath of home appliance cables is damaged or broken.
• Fully insert the power plug when connecting it to the power.
• Only use qualified power plug with ground connection that meets the standard. Do not use worn, corroded, or broken power plug or improper power plug that does not meet
the standard.

Using Electricity Outside the Vehicle
Before using V2L function, carefully read all the safety information and precautions on
the “Safety Precautions When Using the V2L Function” section and follow the
instructions.
Follow the instructions below to connect the V2L connector to the charging inlet on the
vehicle and supply power to an electronic product.
1. Open the cover of the V2L connector.
2. Close the cover after connecting the plug of an electronic product to the power outlet of the connector.
WARNING Some types of plugs may not fit into the outlet cover of the V2L connector, causing
incomplete closing of the cover. Do not use the V2L connector on a rainy or snowy day
if the outlet cover is not completely closed. There is a risk of fire and/or injury.

3. Open the connection terminal protection cap of the connector with the open switch pressed.
4. Open the charging door and connect the V2L connector to the charging inlet on the vehicle.
• Connect the V2L connector to the charging inlet within 60 seconds after opening the charging door.
5. Press the power switch of the V2L connector. • The power is supplied and the indicator on the V2L connector is turned on.

Information • When the V2L connector is connected to the charging inlet of the vehicle, all doors and connectors will be automatically locked to prevent theft and separation. To disconnect the V2L
connector, unlock the door and pull the connector with the open switch pressed.
• Before using the V2L function, deactivate the scheduled climate setting referring to the “Setting Scheduled Charging and Climate”. The V2L function may be cut off depending on the
scheduled climate setting.
• To check and change the V2L setting, refer to the “Setting a Battery Discharging Limit When Using Vehicle to Load (V2L)”.
• If an electric device that exceeds the maximum power capacity is connected, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster and the power supply shuts off immediately.

Using Electricity Inside the Vehicle
You can connect home appliances or electric devices to the power outlet inside the
vehicle.
WARNING Do not use an electric heating appliances like electric kettle, toaster, or iron in the vehicle.
It may cause a fire or injury.

1. Press the Start/Stop button to the ON position or activate the utility mode. • For more information about the utility mode, refer to the “Setting Utility Mode” section in this chapter.

Aux. Battery Saver+
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that monitors the charging status of the 12 V battery.
If the 12 V battery level is low, the main high voltage battery charges the 12 V battery.
Information • The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates maximum of 20 minutes. If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function activates more than 10 times consecutively, in the Automatic Mode the function will stop
activating, judging that there is a problem with the auxiliary battery.
In this case, drive the vehicle for some period of time. The function will start activating if the
auxiliary battery returns to normal.
• 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
B5019903_1
When the function is activating the indicator light illuminates and high voltage electricity
flows into the vehicle. 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. Also, do not modify your vehicle in any way. This may affect your vehicle
performance and lead to an accident.
