•	This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its  
performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and 
emissions regulations. 
In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may  
not be covered under warranty.
•	 If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to operate 
abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire. 
VeHiCle daTa ColleCTion and eVenT daTa reCorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of  
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag 
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a 
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle 
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. 
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: •	How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•	 Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/ fastened;
•	 How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
•	 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which  
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a 
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal 
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) 
are recorded.  However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the 
EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash 
investigation. 
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the  
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, 
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if 
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

System Setting and Activation
System setting 
The driver can activate the Utility mode  
function when the following conditions 
are satisfied. •	The vehicle is in the ready (
) mode 
and the gear is shifted to P (Park).
•	 The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) is  applied.
•	 ‘EV settings 
ÞUtility mode’ is 
selected on the infotainment system 
screen. 
System Activation 
When the system is activated:•	 The (
) indicator will turn off and 
the () 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 EPB switch. 
Gear cannot be shifted out of P (Park).  
If a shift attempt is made, a message 
“Shifting conditions not met” will be 
displayed on the infotainment system 
screen. 
System Deactivation 
The Utility mode can be deactivated by  
pressing the START/STOP button to the 
OFF position. The function cannot be 
deactivated from the EV settings. Winter mode
OOSEV040540L
In cold climates and during winter  
months, electric vehicle range may 
reduce and charging times may increase.  
This is primarily due to reduced  
performance 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 recommended to improve 
EV battery performance 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.
 
à This mode is available for the vehicles 
equipped with the battery heater.

Power/Charge Gauge
OOSEV040474L
The Power/Charge Gauge shows the  
energy consumption rate of the vehicle 
and the charge/discharge status of the 
regenerative brakes. •	 POWER : 
This portion of the gauge indicates the  
amount of electrical power supplied to 
the EV motor while driving. •	 CHARGE :
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
OOSEV040495L
•	 The SOC gauge shows the charging  
status of the high voltage battery.
•	 “L (Low)” position on the indicator 
indicates that there is not enough 
energy in the high voltage battery. 
“(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 2 gauge bars (near the “L 
(Low)” on the SOC gauge, the warning 
light (
) turns ON to alert you of the 
battery level. 
When the warning light (
) turns 
ON, the vehicle can drive an additional  
20~30 km (12~18 miles) depending on 
the driving speed, heater/air conditioner, 
weather, driving style, and other factors. 
Charging is required.
NOTICE
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.
