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.

• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the shift gear in P (Park) to keep
the vehicle from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating, or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an
abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator pedal.
WARNING To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a collision, an unbelted occupant is
significantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
• Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning.
• Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
• The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at
highway speeds.
• Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver over steers to reenter the
roadway.
• In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,
slow down before pulling back into the
travel lanes.
• HYUNDAI Vehicle recommends you to follow all posted speed limits.
Regenerative Braking
System (Paddle Shifter)
Regenerative braking system operates
the paddle shifter to control the
regenerative braking intensity of the
vehicle. It improves the fuel efficiency of
the vehicle and helps the driver to have a
better driving experience.
Information The regenerative braking system uses the
electric motor to engage the brake. The
electric motor converts the kinetic energy
generated from decelerating the vehicle to
electricity and charges the high voltage
battery.
Using Regenerative Braking
System
Operating paddle shifter
Operate the paddle shifter as shown
below to use the regenerative braking
system.
B6001901
• Pull the left paddle shifter ( ) once to raise the regenerative braking intensity
level by 1. It will increase decelerating
intensity.
• Pull the right paddle shifter ( ) once to lower the regenerative braking

(Drive) while the function is on. i-PEDAL
is disabled and regenerative braking
level is set to 3.
CAUTION • Depending on the vehicle and road condition, the vehicle may not come to
a stop although the i-PEDAL function is
active. Check surroundings and
depress the brake pedal to control the
vehicle speed.
• Do not use i-PEDAL on slippery roads.
i-PEDAL limitations
In the following conditions, the vehicle
may not come to a stop although the
i-PEDAL is properly activated. Depress
the brake to stop the vehicle when:
• Driving on a slope, or when the vehicle is repeatedly driven and stopped.
• The vehicle is driving through the end of the slope.
• Driving on a slippery surface such as an icy, rainy, or muddy road.
• The wheels are not properly aligned.
• A wheel slip or wheel spin occurs.
• The weight on board is heavy.
• The vehicle is tilted to the side.
• The tire is worn out.
Smart Regeneration
System
The smart regeneration system
recognizes vehicle-to-vehicle distance,
road gradient, and speed cameras and
controls the regenerative braking level
while coasting. It reduces unnecessary
depressing of pedals to improve fuel
efficiency and driver convenience.
Information • Coasting is the process of driving a vehicle without the brake pedal and the accelerator
depressed. Coasting uses the inertia of
driving energy instead of the vehicle power.
• The regenerative braking system uses the electric motor to engage the brake. The
electric motor converts the kinetic energy
generated from decelerating the vehicle to
electricity and charges the high voltage
battery.
Smart Regeneration System
On/Off
Operate the paddle shifter as shown
below to use the smart regeneration
system.
• Turning on the smart regeneration system: While the indicator is on,
shift the gear to D (Drive), and pull and
hold the right paddle shifter ( ) for
over a second.

Vehicle Load Limit
Two labels on your driver’s door sill
show how much weight your vehicle
was designed to carry: the Tire and
Loading Information Label and the
Certification Label.
Before loading your vehicle,
familiarize yourself with the following
terms for determining your vehicle’s
weight ratings, from the vehicle’s
specifications and the Certification
Label:
Base Curb Weight
This is the weight of the vehicle
including a full tank of fuel and all
standard equipment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or
optional equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle
when you picked it up from your
dealer plus any aftermarket
equipment.
Cargo Weight
This figure includes all weight added
to the Base Curb Weight, including
cargo and optional equipment.
GAW (Gross Axle Weight)
This is the total weight placed on
each axle (front and rear) - including
vehicle curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight that can be carried by a single
axle (front or rear). These numbers
are shown on the Certification Label.
The total load on each axle must
never exceed its GAWR.GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus
actual Cargo Weight plus passengers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle
(including all options, equipment,
passengers and cargo). The GVWR is
shown on the Certification Label
located on the driver’s door sill.

Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on
the driver's door sill at the center
pillar and shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle,
including all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on your front and
rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be
sure to spread out your load equally
on both sides of the centerline.
WARNING Overloading
• Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle
capacity weight. Exceeding these ratings can affect your vehicle's
handling and braking ability, and
cause an accident.
• Do not overload your vehicle. Overloading your vehicle can cause
heat buildup in your vehicle's tires and
possible tire failure, increased stopping
distances and poor vehicle handling-all
of which may result in a collision.

WARNING If you carry items inside your vehicle
(for example, suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else), they are
moving as fast as the vehicle. If you
have to stop or turn quickly, or if there
is a crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they strike
the driver or a passenger.
• Put items in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
• Do not stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of
the seats.
• Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle.
• When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it.
Trailer Towing
We do not recommend using this vehicle
for trailer towing.

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System
WARNING Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator
is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
about one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Tire Care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum electric energy economy,
you must always maintain
recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
OJK010021
All specifications (sizes and
pressures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver’s side center
pillar.
Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tires are
cold. “Cold tires” means the vehicle
has not been driven for at least three
hours or driven less than one mile (1.6
km).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures by
4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure or the tires will be
under-inflated. For recommended
inflation pressure, refer to the “Tires
and Wheels” section in chapter 2.
WARNING • Recommended pressures must be maintained for the best ride,
vehicle handling, and minimum tire
wear.
• Over-inflation or under-inflation can reduce tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to
sudden tire failure that may result
in loss of vehicle control resulting in
a collision.
• Severe under-inflation may lead to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation, and
other tire failures that result in loss
of vehicle control resulting in a
collision. This risk is much higher on
hot days and when driving for a
long time at high speeds.
• Under-inflation may cause excessive wear, poor handling, and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation is also possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Over-inflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of
the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.

Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by
law.
WARNING The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under-inflation,
over-inflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combination,
can cause heat build-up and possible
sudden tire failure. This may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
