• When you operate the steeringwheel in low temperature, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If tempera-
ture rises, the noise will likely dis-
appear. This is a normal condition.
• When the charging system warn- ing light comes on due to the low
voltage (When the alternator or
battery) does not operate normal-
ly or it malfunctions), the steering
wheel may require increased
steering effort.Tilt and telescopic steering
Tilt and telescopic steering allows
you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can also raise it
to give your legs more room when
you exit and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges. To change the steering wheel angle,
pull down the lock-release lever (1),
adjust the steering wheel to the
desired angle (2) and height (3, if
equipped) then pull up the lock-
release lever to lock (4) the steering
wheel in place. Be sure to adjust the

Gauges
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the
speed of the vehicle and is calibrated
in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers
per hour (km/h).
Motor operation gauge
It shows the energy consumption rate
of the vehicle and the charge/dis-
charge status of the regenerative
brakes.
: It shows the energy con-
sumption rate of the
vehicle when driving
uphill or accelerating.
The more electric energy
is used, the higher the
gauge level.
: It shows the energy
consumption rate
during normal driv-
ing condition.
: It shows the charging
status of the battery
when it is being charged
by the regenerative
brakes (decelerating or
driving on a downhill
road). The more electric
energy is charged, the
lower the gauge level.OPSE044101N

State of charge (SOC) gauge forhigh voltage battery
It shows the charging status of the
high voltage battery.
"MIN" position on the indicator indi-
cates that there is not enough ener-
gy in the high voltage battery. "MAX"
position indicates that the driving
battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motor-
ways, make sure to check in advance if
the driving battery is charged enough. When there are 4 gauge bars (near
the "MIN" area) on the high voltage
charge indicator, the warning lamp
turns ON to alert you of the battery
level.
When the warning lamp turns ON, the
vehicle can drive an additional
12.4~24.8 miles (20~40 km) (depend-
ing on the driving speed, heater/air
conditioner, weather, driving style, and
other factors). Charging is required.When there are 1-2 gauge bars left
for the high voltage battery, the vehi-
cle speed is limited and then eventu-
ally the vehicle will be turned OFF.
Charge the vehicle immediately.
