■Near by stations
Stations around the current location
is searched. Depending on the sym-
bol color of the station, it is catego-
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.

9. Check if the charge indicator lampof the high voltage battery in the
instrument cluster is turned ON.
Charging is not done when the
charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector is
not connected properly, reconnect
the charging cable to charge. You can start charging when the
Power button is in the OFF posi-
tion and the shift lever is in P
(Park). After charging has started,
you can use electrical compo-
nents such as the radio by press-
ing the Power button to the ACC or
ON position.
If you move the shift lever from P (Park) to R (Rear), N (Neutral), D
(Drive), charging stops immedi-
ately. If you want to start charging
again, place the shift lever to P
(Park) and press the Power button
to the OFF position. Unplug and
reconnect the charging cable to
start charging again. 10.After charging has started, the
estimated charging time is dis-
played on the instrument cluster
for about 1 minute.
If you open the driver seat door
while charging, the estimated
charging time is also displayed on
the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
When reserved charging is set,
the estimated charging time is
displayed as “--" .

12.Check if the charge indicatorlamp of the high voltage battery in
the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when
the charging indicator lamp is
OFF.
When the charging connector is
not connected properly, recon-
nect the charging cable to charge
it again. You can start charging when the
Power button is in the OFF posi-
tion and the shift lever is in P
(Park).
After charging has started, you
can use electrical components
such as the radio by pressing the
Power button to ACC or ON posi-
tion.
If you move the shift lever from P (Park) to R (Reverse), N (Neutral),
D (Drive), charging stops immedi-
ately. If you want to start charging
again, place the shift lever to P
(Park) and press the Power button
to the OFF position. Unplug and
reconnect the charging cable to
start charging again. 13.After charging has started, the
estimated charging time is dis-
played on the instrument cluster
for about 1 minute.
If you open the driver seat door
while charging, the estimated
charging time is also displayed on
the instrument cluster for about 1

On average, a vehicle can drive
about 111miles (179km) when the
high voltage battery is 100%
charged.
Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON, the
distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance range
from 75~162mi. (120~260km). When
using the heater during cold weather
or driving at high speed, the high
voltage battery consumes a lot more
electricity. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty significantly.After “---” has been displayed, the vehi-
cle can drive an additional 2.5~6.0 mi.
(4~9 km) (depending on driving speed,
heater/air conditioner, weather, driving
style, and other factors).
Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after com-
pleting a recharge may vary signifi-
cantly depending on previous operat-
ing patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, resulting
in the driving battery using more
electricity than usual, the estimated
distance to empty is reduced. When
the high voltage battery uses a little
electricity in ECO mode, the estimat-
ed distance to empty increases.
Distance to empty may depend on
many factors such as the charge
amount of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, durability of
the battery, geographical features,
and driving style.
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.

■Low Battery
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 20%, this warning
message illuminates.
In this case, the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster ( ) turns ON
simultaneously.
Charge the high voltage battery
immediately.
■ ■Low Battery. Charge imme-
diately
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 10%, this warning
message illuminates .
In this case, the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster ( ) turns ON
simultaneously and the distance to
empty gauge will be displayed as “---”.
Charge the high voltage battery
immediately.
■ ■Charge immediately. Power
limited
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 7%, this warning
message illuminates.
In this case, the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster ( ) and the
power down warning lamp ( )turn
ON simultaneously and the distance
to empty gauge will be displayed as
“---”.
The vehicle’s power will be reduced
to minimize the energy consumption
of the high voltage battery. Charge
the battery immediately.
