9. Check if the charge indicator lampof the high voltage battery in the
instrument cluster is turned ON.
Charging is not done when the
charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector is
not connected properly, reconnect
the charging cable to charge. You can start charging when the
Power button is in the OFF posi-
tion and the shift lever is in P
(Park). After charging has started,
you can use electrical compo-
nents such as the radio by press-
ing the Power button to the ACC or
ON position.
If you move the shift lever from P (Park) to R (Rear), N (Neutral), D
(Drive), charging stops immedi-
ately. If you want to start charging
again, place the shift lever to P
(Park) and press the Power button
to the OFF position. Unplug and
reconnect the charging cable to
start charging again. 10.After charging has started, the
estimated charging time is dis-
played on the instrument cluster
for about 1 minute.
If you open the driver seat door
while charging, the estimated
charging time is also displayed on
the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
When reserved charging is set,
the estimated charging time is
displayed as “--" .

❈Refer to the manual for each type
of quick charger for how to charge
and remove the charger.
❈ The shape of the charging con-
nector may vary depending on the
manufacturer.
8. Check if the charge indicator lampof the high voltage battery in the
instrument cluster is turned ON.
Charging is not done when the
charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector is
not connected properly, reconnect
the charging cable to charge it
again. ❈
If you use a quick charger when
the vehicle is already fully
charged, some quick chargers will
send out an error message. When
the vehicle is fully charged, do not
charge the vehicle.

11. Charging starts automaticallyand the charging light blinks. 12. Check if the charge indicator
lamp of the high voltage battery
in the instrument cluster is
turned ON. Charging is not done
when the charging indicator lamp
is OFF.
When the charging connector is not connected properly, recon-
nect the charging cable to
charge it again. You can start charging when the
Power button is in the OFF posi-
tion and the shift lever is in P
(Park).
After charging has started, you
can use electrical components
such as the radio by pressing the
Power button to ACC or ON posi-
tion.
If you move the shift lever from P (Park) to R (Reverse), N (Neutral),
D (Drive), charging stops immedi-
ately. If you want to start charging
again, place the shift lever to P
(Park) and press the Power button
to the OFF position. Unplug and
reconnect the charging cable to
start charging again.

13.After charging has started, theestimated charging time is dis-
played on the instrument cluster
for about 1 minute.
If you open the driver seat door
while charging, the estimated
charging time is also displayed on
the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
When reserved charging is set,
the estimated charging time is
displayed as “--" . Depending on the condition and
durability of the high voltage battery,
charger specifications, and ambient
temperature, the time required for
charging the battery may vary.
14.You may prevent possible charg-
ing cable theft by taking the fol-
lowing steps. Lock the door after
the charging cable is connected,
by pressing the lock button on the
smart key or on the central door
lock switch.
When the door is locked, the
charging connector will become
locked and this will prevent possi-
ble theft.
So, after charging is complete,
you must release the door lock in
order to disconnect the charging
connector.

❈For vehicles with Shift Lock, you
have to press the POWER button
to the ON position, press and
hold the brake pedal, then press
the unlock button on the shift
lever while it is placed in P (Park)
in order to move the shift lever to
R (Reverse).
While the charging cable is con- nected, you cannot use the shift
lever for safety reasons.
11.Release the parking brake and slowly release the brake pedal.
Check if the vehicle slowly moves
forward, then press the accelera-
tor pedal. 1. Hold down the brake pedal while
the vehicle is parked.
2. While pressing the brake pedal, place the shift lever in P (Park).
3. While pressing the brake pedal, engage the parking brake.
4. While pressing the brake pedal, press the POWER button and stop
the vehicle. 5. Check if (indicator lamp) is
turned OFF on the instrument
cluster.
When (indicator lamp) is ON
and the shift lever is in a position
other than P (Park), the driver can
accidently press the accelerator
pedal, causing the vehicle to move
unexpectedly.

On average, a vehicle can drive
about 111miles (179km) when the
high voltage battery is 100%
charged.
Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON, the
distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance range
from 75~162mi. (120~260km). 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 dis-
tance to empty significantly.After “---” has been displayed, the vehi-
cle can drive an additional 2.5~6.0 mi.
(4~9 km) (depending on driving speed,
heater/air conditioner, weather, driving
style, and other factors).
Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after com-
pleting a recharge may vary signifi-
cantly depending on previous operat-
ing patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, resulting
in the driving battery using more
electricity than usual, the estimated
distance to empty is reduced. When
the high voltage battery uses a little
electricity in ECO mode, the estimat-
ed distance to empty increases.
Distance to empty 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 distance
to empty.

■ ■Low Battery
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 20%, this warning
message illuminates.
In this case, the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster ( ) turns ON
simultaneously.
Charge the high voltage battery
immediately.
■ ■Low Battery. Charge imme-
diately
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 10%, this warning
message illuminates .
In this case, the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster ( ) turns ON
simultaneously and the distance to
empty gauge will be displayed as “---”.
Charge the high voltage battery
immediately.
■ ■Charge immediately. Power
limited
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 7%, this warning
message illuminates.
In this case, the warning lamp on the
instrument cluster ( ) and the
power down warning lamp ( )turn
ON simultaneously and the distance
to empty gauge will be displayed as
“---”.
The vehicle’s power will be reduced
to minimize the energy consumption
of the high voltage battery. Charge
the battery immediately.
