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 20~40
km (12.4~24.8 miles) (depending on
the driving speed, heater/air condition-
er, 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.
