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.

When the " " indicator is ON
and the gear is in a position other
than P (Park), the driver can acci-
dently depress the accelerator
pedal, causing the vehicle to move
unexpectedly.
Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates an audible sound for near-
by pedestrians when the vehicle is in
ready ( ) mode and the vehicle is
in gear ("D" or "R"). The sound
changes if the vehicle is speeding up
or slowing down.
If the vehicle is in the ready ( )mode and the gear is not in P
(Park), the VESS will operate.
When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
Distance to Empty
The location of where the vehicle
range is displayed is different
depending on which drive mode is
active.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode System" in chapter 5.
The vehicle is much quieter
while driving than a conven-
tional gasoline-powered vehi-
cle. Be aware of your sur-
roundings and always drive
safely.
After you park the vehicle or
while you are waiting at a traf-
fic light, check whether there
are children or obstacles
around the vehicle.
Check if there is something
behind the vehicle when driv-
ing in reverse. Pedestrians
may not hear the sound of the
vehicle.

When destination is not set
On average, a vehicle can drive
about 250 miles (400 km). Under
certain circumstances where the
air conditioner/heater is ON, the
range is affected, resulting in a
possible distance range from
210~310 miles (335~500 km).
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 range significantly.
After "---" has been displayed, the vehicle can drive an additional 2~5
miles (3~8 km) depending on driv-
ing speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other
factors.
The range that is displayed on the instrument cluster after completing
a recharge may vary significantly
depending on previous driving pat-
terns.
When the previous driving patterns
include aggressive or high speed
driving (e.g. predominantly high-
way miles, etc.), the estimated
range on the next full charge will be
lower than normal. When the previous driving patterns
are predominantly mild or econom-
ical (e.g. city driving), the estimated
range on the next full charge will be
increased.
Calculated range 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 vehicle range.
Navigation - When a Destinationis Set
When a destination is set using the
vehicle navigation system (if
equipped), the vehicle range may
change. The vehicle range is recalcu-
lated using the destination route infor-
mation. While driving, the range may
vary based on traffic conditions, driv-
ing pattern and vehicle settings, etc.
Tips for Improving Range
When Using the Climate
Control System
Operating the climate control sys-
tem consumes electrical energy
from the EV battery. Continuous use
may reduce the vehicle range.
When using the climate control sys-
tem, it is recommended to set the
control to 72°F (22°C) AUTO. The
climate control system has been
optimized to operate at this setting
for maximum comfort and efficiency.
When possible, use the DRIVER ONLY feature on the climate control
system. This will discontinue airflow
to the passenger side and reduces
climate control power consumption.

H47
Tips for Improving Range
While Driving
Depress and hold the acceleratorpedal to maintain speed and drive
economically.
Gradually depress and release the accelerator pedal when accelerat-
ing or decelerating.
Always maintain specified tire pressures.
Do not use unnecessary electrical components while driving.
Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle.
Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance.
Power/Charge Gauge
The Power/Charge gauge shows the
energy consumption rate of the vehi-
cle and the charge/discharge status
of the regenerative brakes.
POWER :
This portion of the gauge indicates
the amount of electrical power sup-
plied to the EV motor while driving.

This portion of the gauge indicates
the amount of charging to the EV
battery when regenerative braking is
applied.
State of Charge (SOC) Gauge
for High Voltage Battery
The SOC gauge shows the charg-ing status of the high voltage bat-
tery.
"L (Low)" position on the indicator
indicates that there is not enough
energy in the high voltage battery.
"H (High)" position indicates that
the driving battery is fully charged.
When driving your vehicle for long distances on the highway or in rural
areas, make sure to check that the
State of Charge (SOC) is sufficient
to get to your destination and make
sure to map out useable charging
locations along your route.

When there are only 2 bars remain-
ing on the gauge, the SOC level is
low. The warning lamp turns ON to
alert you that the battery must be
charged soon.
When the warning lamp turns ON,
the vehicle can drive an additional
12~18 miles (20~30 km) depending
on the driving speed, heater/air con-
ditioner, weather, driving style, and
other factors. Charging is required.
When there are 1-2 gauge bars left
for the high voltage battery, the
vehicle speed is limited and then
eventually the vehicle will turn OFF.
Charge the vehicle immediately.

H49
Power Down WarningLight
This warning light illuminates :
When the power output from the
vehicle is limited. The vehicle is in
fail-safe mode.
Power from the vehicle is limited due
to one of the following reasons:
- The state of charge (SOC) of the
high voltage battery is very low.
Typically the Power Down Warning
Light will turn ON when the SOC is
below 3%.
- The temperature of the EV drive motor or the high voltage battery is
either too high (overheating) or too
low (freezing)
- There is a problem with either the cooling system or a vehicle system
warning has occurred that may
interrupt normal driving
Do not accelerate or start the vehi-
cle suddenly when the power
down warning light is ON. Charge the battery immediately
when the high voltage battery
level is not enough.
Charging Indicator Light
This warning light illuminates :
When charging the high voltage
battery.
High Voltage BatteryLevel Warning Light
This warning light illuminates :
When the high voltage battery level
is low.
When the warning light turns ON,
charge the battery immediately.
Regenerative BrakeWarning Light
This warning light illuminates :
When the regenerative brake does
not operate and the brake does not
perform well. This causes the Brake
Warning light (red) and Regenerative
Brake Warning Light (yellow) to illu-
minate simultaneously.
In this case, drive safely and have
your vehicle inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
The operation of the brake pedal may
