VeHiCle modiFiCaTions
• This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its
performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and
emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may
not be covered under warranty.
• If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to operate
abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire.
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 air bag
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
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., 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.

System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the Utility mode
function when the following conditions
are satisfied. • The vehicle is in the ready (
) mode
and the gear is shifted to P (Park).
• The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) is applied.
• ‘EV settings
ÞUtility mode’ is
selected on the infotainment system
screen.
System Activation
When the system is activated:• The (
) indicator will turn off and
the () indicator will illuminate on
the cluster.
• All electric devices are usable but the
vehicle cannot be driven.
• The EPB can be cancelled by pressing
the EPB switch.
Gear cannot be shifted out of P (Park).
If a shift attempt is made, a message
“Shifting conditions not met” will be
displayed on the infotainment system
screen.
System Deactivation
The Utility mode can be deactivated by
pressing the START/STOP button to the
OFF position. The function cannot be
deactivated from the EV settings. Winter mode
OOSEV040540L
In cold climates and during winter
months, electric vehicle range may
reduce and charging times may increase.
This is primarily due to reduced
performance of the EV battery when
exposed to cold temperatures.
Some vehicles may come equipped with
Winter mode selectable option. The
Winter mode feature can be selected in
the EV Settings menu.
When selected, Winter mode enables
the use of the EV battery coolant heater.
This mode is recommended to improve
EV battery performance in cold climate conditions.
Note that EV range may reduce when
Winter mode is enabled, as electrical
energy is used to maintain the EV battery
temperature.
Winter mode enables operation of the
EV battery coolant heater. While driving
your vehicle, if the battery temperature
is low or the A/C and/or heater is turned
ON, the EV battery coolant heater will be used.
Note that the EV battery coolant heater
will not be used when the EV battery
SOC is low.

à This mode is available for the vehicles
equipped with the battery heater.

Power/Charge Gauge
OOSEV040474L
The Power/Charge Gauge shows the
energy consumption rate of the vehicle
and the charge/discharge status of the
regenerative brakes. • POWER :
This portion of the gauge indicates the
amount of electrical power supplied to
the EV motor while driving. • CHARGE :
This portion of the gauge indicates the
amount of charging to the EV battery
when regenerative braking is applied.
State of charge (SOC) gauge for
high voltage battery
OOSEV040495L
• The SOC gauge shows the charging
status of the high voltage battery.
• “L (Low)” position on the indicator
indicates that there is not enough
energy in the high voltage battery.
“(High)” position indicates that the
driving battery is fully charged.
• When driving your vehicle for long
distances on the highway or in rural
areas, make sure to check that the
State of Charge (SOC) is sufficient to
get to your destination and make sure
to map out useable charging locations
along your route.
When there are 2 gauge bars (near the “L
(Low)” on the SOC gauge, the warning
light (
) turns ON to alert you of the
battery level.
When the warning light (
) turns
ON, the vehicle can drive an additional
20~30 km (12~18 miles) depending on
the driving speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other factors.
Charging is required.
NOTICE
When there are 1-2 gauge bars left for
the high voltage battery, the vehicle
speed is limited and then eventually the
vehicle will turn OFF. Charge the vehicle
immediately.

is low.
• When the warning light turns ON,
charge the battery immediately.
Regenerative Brake Warning
Light
(yellow)
This warning light illuminates :
When the regenerative brake does not
operate and the brake does not perform
well. This causes the Brake Warning
light (red) and Regenerative Brake
