Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. While
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as
fuel, electric vehicles use electricalenergy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. As a result,
electric vehicles are eco-friendly in
that they do not require fuel and do
not emit exhaust gases.
Characteristics of Electric
Vehicles
1. It is driven using the electricalenergy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. This method
prevents air pollution since fuel,
like gasoline, is not required,
negating the emission of exhaust
gases.
2. A high performance motor is used in the vehicle as well. Compared
to standard, internal combustion
engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are much more minimal
when driving.
3. When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimizes energyloss and increases the distance to
empty.
4.When the battery charge is not suf- ficient, AC charge, DC charge and
trickle charge are available. (Refer
to “Charge Types for Electric
Vehicle” for details.) Information
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses the electric motor when decel-
erating or braking which transforms
vehicle motion (kinetic energy) to elec-
trical energy to charge the high volt-
age batteries. (Torque is applied in the
opposite direction when decelerating
to generate braking force and electric
energy.)
Battery Information
The vehicle is composed of a high voltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.

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.

Convenient features of your vehicle
To prevent damage to the Power Outlets :
Use the power outlet only whenthe vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode and remove the accessory
plug after use. Using the acces-
sory plug for prolonged periods
of time with the vehicle off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric acces- sories which are less than 180 W
(Watts) in electric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference
when plugged into a vehicle’s
power outlet. These devices may
cause excessive audio staticand malfunctions in other elec-
tronic systems or devices used
in your vehicle.
(Continued)(Continued)
Push the plug in as far as it will
go. If good contact is not made,
the plug may overheat and the
fuse may open.
Plug in battery equipped electri- cal/electronic devices with
reverse current protection. The
current from the battery may
flow into the vehicle’s electri-
cal/electronic system and causesystem malfunction.
Wireless Cellular Phone
Charging System (if equipped)
There is a wireless cellular phone
charger inside the front console.
The system is available when all doors are closed, and when the
POWER button is in the
ACC/ON/START position.

The wireless charging processmay temporarily stop, when tem-
perature abnormally increasesinside the wireless cellular
phone charging system. The
wireless charging process
restarts, when temperature falls
to a proper level.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop when
there is any metallic item, such
as a coin, between the wireless
cellular phone charging system
and a cellular phone.
For certain cellular phone with their own protection, the wire-
less charging speed maydecrease and the wireless
charging may stop.
If the cellular phone has a thick cover, the wireless charging may
not be possible.
If the cell phone is not complete- ly contacting the charging pad,
wireless charging may not oper-
ate properly.
(Continued)(Continued)
Some magnetic items like credit
cards, phone cards or rail tickets
may be damaged if left with the
cellular phone during the charg-
ing process.
If the cellular phone without the wireless charging function orthe metallic items are placed on
the charging pad, it may cause
slight noise. This noise does not
affect the cellular phone and the
vehicle, because this noise is anoperating sound during deter-
mining the item on the chargingpad.
If the POWER button is in the OFF position, the charging alsostops.Clock
Vehicles with Audio system
Select the [SETUP]button on the
audio system ➟Select [Date/Time].
Set time: Set the time displayed on the audio screen.
Time format: Choose between 12- hour and 24-hour time formats.
Do not adjust the clock while
driving, you may lose your
steering control and cause an
accident that results in severe
personal injury or death.
