State of charge (SOC) gauge
for high voltage battery
It shows the charging status of thehigh voltage battery.
[MIN] position on the indicator
indicates that there is not enough
energy in the high voltage battery.
[MAX] position indicates that the
driving battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motorways, 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.
