Charge immediately.Power limited
When the high voltage battery level
reaches below 6%, this warning
message is displayed.
The warning light on the instrument
cluster ( ) and the power down
warning light ( ) will turn on simul-
taneously.
The vehicle’s power will be reduced
to minimize the energy consumption
of the high voltage battery. Charge
the battery immediately.
Low outside temperature maylimit power output. Charge EV
battery/Low EV battery tempera- ture. Power limited
[A] : Displays when turning off vehicle.
[B] : Displays when turning on vehicle.
Both warning messages are dis-
played to protect electric vehicle sys-tem when the outside ambient tem-
perature is low. If the high voltage
battery charging level is low and
parked outside in low temperature for
a long time, vehicle power could belimited.
Charging the battery before driving
helps increase power. If this warning message is still dis-
played even after the ambient tem-
perature has increased, have the
vehicle inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Battery Overheated! Stop safety
This warning message is displayed
to protect battery and electric vehicle
system when the high voltage bat-
tery temperature is too high.
Turn off the POWER button and stop
the vehicle so that the battery tem-
perature decreases.
Power limited
In the following cases, this warning
message is displayed when the vehi-
cle's power is limited for safety.
When the high voltage battery is below a certain level, or voltage is decreasing.
When the temperature of the motor or high voltage battery is too high
or too low.
When there is a problem with the cooling system or a failure that
may interrupt normal driving. When this warning message is
displayed, do not accelerate or
start the vehicle suddenly.
When the high voltage battery level is low, the power downwarning illuminates and the
power output from the vehicle is
limited. Charge the battery
immediately since your vehicle
may not drive uphill or skid on aslope with the warning light ON.

Energy Flow
The electric vehicle system informs
the drivers its energy flow in various
operating modes. While driving, the
current energy flow is specified in 3
modes.
Vehicle Stop
The vehicle is stopped.
(No energy flow)
EV Propulsion
Only the motor power is used to drive
the vehicle.
(Battery ➞Wheel)
Regeneration
The high-voltage battery is charged
up by the regenerative brake system. (Wheel ➞Battery)

Aux. Battery Saver+
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that monitors the charging status of
the 12 V auxiliary battery.
If the auxiliary battery level is low, the
main high voltage battery charges
the auxiliary battery.Information
The Aux. Battery Saver+ function will
be ON when the vehicle is delivered. If
the function is not needed, you may
turn it off in the Users Settings mode
on the cluster. For more information,
refer to the following page.
Mode
Cycle Mode :
When the POWER button is in the
OFF or ACC position with all doors,
hood and tailgate closed, the Aux.
Battery Saver+ activates according
to the auxiliary battery status.
Automatic Mode :
When the POWER button is in the OFF position with the charging con-nector plugged in, the function acti-
vates according to the auxiliary bat-
tery status to prevent overdischarge
of the auxiliary battery. Information
 The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates maximum of 60 minutes. If the Aux.
Battery Saver+ function activates
more than 10 times consecutively
when in the automatic mode, the
function will stop activating, judg-
ing that there is a problem with the
auxiliary battery. In this case, drive
the vehicle for some period of time
or if the auxiliary battery returns to
normal, the function will start acti-
vating.
 The Aux. Battery Saver+ function cannot prevent battery discharge if
the auxiliary battery is damaged,
worn out, used as a power supply or
unauthorized electronic devises are
used.
 If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was activated, the high voltage bat-
tery level may have decreased. i

System Setting
The driver can activate the Aux.
Battery Saver+ function by placing
the POWER button to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting: 'User Settings Other Aux.
Battery Saver+'
The Aux. Battery Saver+ function
deactivates, when the driver cancelsthe system setting.
Utility Mode
The high voltage battery is used
instead of the 12V auxiliary battery
for operating the convenient features
of the vehicle. When driving is not
necessary such as while camping or
when stopping the vehicle for a long
time, it is possible to use the electri-
cal devices (audio, lights, etc.) for
long hours.
System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the Utility
Mode function when the followingconditions are satisfied.
The vehicle is in the ready ( ) mode and the gear is shifted to P
(Park).
The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) is applied.
'User Settings Convenience
Utility Mode' is selected in the clus-
ter.When the function is activating
the third Charging Indicator
Lamp will blink and high voltage
electricity will be flowing in the
vehicle. Do not touch the high
voltage electric wire (orange),
connector, and all electric com-
ponents and devices. This may
cause electric shock and lead to
injuries. Also, do not modify
your vehicle in any way. This
may affect your vehicle per-
formance and lead to an acci-dent.
WARNING

H62
System Activation
When the system is activated:
The indicator will turn off andthe indicator will illuminate on
the cluster.
All electric devices are usable but the vehicle cannot be driven.
The EPB can be cancelled by pressing the EBP switch.
Note that the vehicle cannot be shifted out of P (Park). If a shift
attempt is made, a message"Shifting conditions not met" will be
displayed on the cluster.
System Deactivation
The Utility Mode can be deactivated
by pressing the POWER button to
the OFF position. The function can-
not be deactivated from the User
Settings mode.
If an Accident Occurs
When a vehicle accident
occurs, move the vehicle to a
safe place, turn OFF the vehi-
cle and remove the auxiliary
battery (12 V) terminal to pre-
vent high voltage electricity
from flowing.
If electric wires are exposed
from inside or outside the
vehicle, do not touch thewires.
Also, do not touch the high
voltage electric wire (orange),
connector, and all electric
components and devices. This
may cause electric shock andlead to injuries.
WARNING When a vehicle accident
occurs and the high voltage
battery is damaged, harmful
gas and electrolytes may leak.
Be careful not to touch theleaked liquid.
When you suspect leakage of
inflammable gas and other
harmful gases, open the win-
dows and evacuate to a safe
place. If any leaked fluid
comes in contact with your
eyes or skin, immediately
clean the affected area thor-
oughly with tap water or
saline solution and have doc-
tors inspect it as soon as pos-
sible.

H63
If you cannot put out the fire
immediately, the high voltage
battery may explode. Evacuate
to a safe place and do not let
other people approach the site.
Contact the fire department and notify them of an electric vehi-
cle fire.
If the vehicle is flooded with
water, immediately turn OFF
the vehicle and evacuate to a
safe place. Contact fire
department or an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If towing is required, lift all
four wheels off the ground
and tow the vehicle. If you
must tow the vehicle using
only two wheels, lift the front
wheels off the ground and tow
the vehicle.(Continued)

If a small scale fire occurs,
use a fire extinguisher (ABC,
BC) that is meant for electrical
fires. If it is impossible to
extinguish the fire in the early
stage, remain a safe distance
from the vehicle and immedi-
ately contact fire department.
Also, advise them that an
electric vehicle is involved. If the fire spreads to the high
voltage battery, large amountof water is needed to put out
the fire. Using small amount
of water or fire extinguishers
not meant for electrical fires
could cause serious injury or
death from electrical shocks.
