The charge amount of the high volt-age battery may gradually decrease
when the vehicle is not driving.
The battery capacity of the high voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures.
Distance to empty may vary depending on the driving conditions,
even if the charge amount is the
same. The high voltage battery may
expend more energy when driving at
quick speed or uphill. These actions
may reduce the distance to empty. The high voltage battery is used
when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty. Make sure to set
moderate temperatures when
using the air-conditioner/heater.
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 the charge capacity and distance to empty keep falling, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer for inspec-
tion and maintenance.
If the vehicle will not be in use for an extended period of time,
charge the high voltage battery
once every three months to pre-
vent it from discharging. Also, if
the charge amount is not enough
to store the vehicle for an extend-
ed period of time, immediately
charge to enough state of charge
and store the vehicle.
High Voltage Battery (lithium-ion polymer)

WARNING- Repair of
high voltage components
The high voltage battery in your
system in very dangerous and
can cause severe burns and
electric shock. Never inspect,
remove or disassemble any of
the high voltage components in
your vehicle. Kia recommends
that all inspections and repairs
be performed by an authorized
and trained Kia dealer.

Normal charge is recommendedto keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery per-
formance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage bat-
tery to 100%. (Once a month or
more is recommended.)
If the vehicle is in a collision, we recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer to inspect
whether the high voltage battery
is still connected. The high voltage battery warmer
system prevents reduction of battery
output when battery temperature is
low. If the charging connector is con-
nected, the warmer system automat-
ically operate according to the bat-
tery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare
to vehicles without the high voltage
battery warmer system. But, electric-
ity charge may increase because of
high voltage battery warmer system
operation.
The high voltage battery warmer sys-
tem operates when the charging con-
nector is connected to the vehicle.
However, the high voltage warmer
system may not operate when bat-
tery temperature drops below -35°C
(-31°F)

CAUTION- Damaging
high voltage battery
• Make sure to use a designated charger when charging thehigh voltage battery. Using dif-ferent types of chargers mayhave a serious impact on vehi-cle durability.
Make sure that the high volt- age battery charger gaugedoes not reach SOC 0% oncluster gauge. If the vehicle iskept at SOC 0% for a long peri-od, it may damage the highvoltage battery and the highvoltage battery may have to bereplaced depending on thelevel of degradation.

If you select the "EV" menu at the
AVN home screen or press the "EV"
button on the left side of the air-con-
ditioning button panel, you can enter
EV mode.
❈Refer to the AVN manual for details. The EV mode has a total of 6 menus
including Available Range, Near by
stations, Energy information, ECO
driving, Set timings for Charging
/Climate and EV settings.

■ ■Near by stations
Stations around the current location
is searched. Depending on the sym-

rized as Reachable area, Risky area
and Unreachable area.
■ ■Energy Information
You can check battery information
and power consumption.
Battery Information
You can check the available range,
battery charge amount that can be
used, and approximate expected
charging time for each charge type.
More accurate time will be
appeared while charging.
Power Consumption
Power that is consumed by the
drive system, climate and electri-
cal components are displayed
respectively.
You can check how far the vehicle
can drive currently, and how much
more the vehicle can drive if the
climate is turned OFF.

■ ■ECO Driving
You can check ECO level information
and ECO driving history.
ECO Level
A total of 8 ECO levels and the
average energy consumption are
displayed depending on vehicle
driving style.
Driving History
You can check the driving date ,
driving distance , and the aver-
age energy consumption rating
for previous 30 driving trips. The
date with the highest ECO level is
marked with a star shaped icon.
■ ■Set Charging Times
This is a feature that starts charging
the battery on the date and time that
is designated by the user. One reser-
vation can be set between 2 options.

Normal Charge :We recommend using normal
charging for usual charging of the
vehicle.
(Refer to “Normal Charge.“ in this
chapter)
Quick Charge (if equipped) : You can charge at high speeds at
public charging stations. Refer to
the respective company's manual
that is provided for each quick
charger type.
Battery performance and durability
can deteriorate if the quick charger
is used constantly.
Use of quick charge should be
minimized in order to help prolong
high voltage battery life.
Trickle Charge : Trickle Charge can be used when
Normal Charge or Quick Charge
is not available by using house-
hold electricity. Normal Charge :
Takes about 4-5 hours at room tem-
perature (depending on charger ) for
a full charge (208V - 5.5kW: 5h
10min, 240V - 6.3kW: 4h 30min.)
(Can be charged to 100%.)
Quick Charge (if equipped) : Takes about 30 minutes at room
temperature to 80% of SOC.
(50kw charger) (Can be charged
directly to 94%)
DC cable shorter than 10m.
Trickle Charge : Takes up to 24 hours at room tem-
perature. (120V-12A : 24hours)
(Can be charged to 100%.) Depending on the condition and dura-
bility of the high voltage battery, charg-
er specifications, and ambient temper-
ature, the time required for charging
the high voltage battery may vary.
