Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wiper func-
tionality. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and
hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping properly, clean both
the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer
fluid. To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
Attempt to move the wipers manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
In order to prevent damage to the hood and the wiper arms, the
wiper arms should only be lifted
when in the top wiping position.
Always return the wiper arms to the windshield before driving.

Main Components
On-Board Charger (OBC) :
A device that charges the high volt-
age battery by converting AC
power from a charging station to
DC power.
• Inverter : A device that transforms
direct current (DC) from the high
voltage battery into alternating cur-
rent (AC) to supply power to the
electric motor and transforms AC
back into DC when available to
charge the high voltage battery.
LDC : An LDC is a Low Voltage
DC-to-DC converter that trans-
forms power from the high voltage
battery to the low voltage battery
(12V) in order to supply electrical
power to the vehicle to operate the
lights, wipers, multimedia, etc. Electric Motor :
A device that con-
verts electrical energy from the
high voltage battery into mechani-
cal energy which is then trans-
ferred as rotational torque to the
wheels in order to drive the vehicle.
Reduction gear : Delivers rota-
tional force of the motor to the tires
at appropriate speeds and torque.
EV Battery (Lithium-ion) : On
board high voltage storage device
with a capacity up to 64 kWh
❈ OBC : On-Board Charger
❈ LDC : Low V oltage DC-DC Converter

Do not remove or disassem-
ble high voltage components
and high voltage battery con-
nectors and wires. Also, be
careful not to damage high
voltage components and the
high voltage battery. It may
cause serious injury and sig-
nificantly impact the perform-
ance and durability of the
vehicle.
When inspection and mainte-
nance is required for high volt-
age components, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING

H5
High Voltage Battery (lithium-
ion polymer)
The charge amount of the highvoltage 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.
Electric range 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 high speed or uphill. These
actions may reduce the vehicle
electric range. The high voltage battery is used
when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the vehi-
cle range. Make sure to set moder-
ate 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 vehicle range.
If over time the maximum charge capacity and the maximum electric
range begin to degrade, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
inspection and maintenance. If the vehicle will not be used for an
extended amount of time, it is rec-
ommended to fully charge the vehi-
cle to 100% before storing, and
then charge the vehicle periodically
(approximately every 3 months) to
prevent the EV battery from dis-
charging completely.
AC charge is recommended to keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
Avoid storing the vehicle with a low
battery SOC % (e.g. below 20%).
Storing the vehicle with the EV bat-
tery capacity at a low SOC may
damage the battery over time.

EV Charging Troubleshooting - Steps to Consider
If the vehicle fails to charge after being plugged in to a charging station or if plugge\
d in when using the portable charger,
check the following:
1. Verify the charge mode is set to immediate. (i.e. confirm that scheduled charging is turned OFF)
2. Check the operation status of the charging station or the portable charger.
3. Check to see if there are any warning messages in the LCD cluster. Refer to "LCD Display Messages" in this sec- tion.
4. If there is an error message on the charging station display screen, there may be a problem with the charging sta- tion. Try to charge the vehicle with a different charging station.
5. If the vehicle fails to charge with different charging station equipment, there may be a problem with the vehicle. Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for inspection.
