Maintenance
Bright-metal maintenance
To remove road tar and insects,use a tar remover, not a scraper or
other sharp object.
To protect the surfaces of bright- metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preser-
vative and rub to a high luster.
During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, acceler-
ated rusting can occur on underbody
parts such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even
though they have been treated with
rust protection. Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after off-road driving and at the end
of each winter. Pay special attention
to these areas because it is difficult
to see all the mud and dirt. It will do
more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be
allowed to clog with dirt; trapped
water in these areas can cause rust-
ing.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum
wheels.
Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly
with water. Also, clean the
wheels after driving on salted
roads.
Do not wash the wheels with high-speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any cleaners con- taining acid or alkaline deter-
gents.
NOTICE
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forward
speed.

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

H12
CO2 reduction
The CO2 reduction display allows
you to monitor the benefits of
reduced greenhouse gas emissions
of your EV relative to a conventional
gasoline vehicle. While driving your
vehicle, the display estimates the
amount of reduced CO2 that would
have been emitted from tailpipe
emissions of a conventional vehicle.
Driving history
The driving history displays informa-
tion from the last several driving
cycles including date, distance trav-
eled and energy efficiency rate. A
star icon indicates the driving cycle
with the most efficient energy con-
sumption rate.
EV Settings
Select ‘EV →ECO Settings’ on the
screen. You can set the Winter mode,
Warning and EV route functions.
Winter mode for the EV Battery
In cold climates and during winter
months, electric vehicle range may
reduce and charging times may
increase.

This is primarily due to reduced per-
formance of the EV battery when
exposed to cold temperatures.
Some vehicles may come equipped
with Winter mode selectable option.
The Winter mode feature can be
selected in the EV Settings menu.
When selected, Winter mode
enables the use of the EV battery
coolant heater. This mode is recom-
mended to improve EV battery per-
formance in cold climate conditions.
Note that EV range may reduce
when Winter mode is enabled, as
electrical energy is used to maintain
the EV battery temperature.
Winter mode enables operation of
the EV battery coolant heater. While
driving your vehicle, if the battery
temperature is low or the A/C and/or
heater is turned ON, the EV battery
coolant heater will be used.
Note that the EV battery coolant
heater will not be used when the EV
battery SOC is low.
❈This mode is available for the vehi-
cles equipped with the battery
heater.Warning
You can select or deselect the Range
Warning.
- Range Warning : If the destination
set in the navigation cannot be
reached with the remaining EV bat-
tery charge level, a warning mes-
sage is displayed.
EV route
If EV route is selected, EV related
information will show on the route. You
can check the distance the vehicle
can be driven with the current EV bat-
tery charge level % along the route.
An icon is also indicated so the driver
is able to search for nearby charging
stations.

H20
Charging Precautions
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.
Electromagnetic waves that
are generated from the charg-
er can seriously impact med-
ical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pace-
maker.
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure
to ask the medical team and
manufacturer whether charg-
ing your electric vehicle will
impact the operation of the
medical electric devices such
as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker.
Inspect the charging cable
connector for any signs of
water or excess dust or dirt.
Connecting the cable when
there is water or dirt on the
connector may initiate a short
circuit and cause a fire or
electric shock.
WARNING
Use caution not to touch the
charging connector or the
charging port when connect-
ing the cable from the charger
to the charging port on the
vehicle.
Comply with the following in
order to prevent electrical
shock when charging:
- Use caution when connect-
ing the charger to the charg-
ing port when it is raining or
snowing.
- Use caution when there are adverse weather conditions
such as lightning.
- Use caution when the charg- ing connector or the charg-
ing plug is wet.
