7.   Once the vehicle is connected,  
confirm that charging has initiated 
from the EV charging station display 
screen.
8.  Check if the charging indicator light  ( 
 ) of the high voltage battery 
in the instrument cluster is turned  
ON. Charging is not active when the 
charging indicator light ( 
 ) is OFF. 
If the charging indicator light is OFF,  
it may be necessary to disconnect the 
charging connector from the vehicle 
and repeat the connection process. 
Refer to the charging station display 
screen for more information.
 Information
•	 During AC charging, the radio  
reception may be bad. 
•	 During charging, the gear cannot be 
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.

9.  After charging has started, the  
estimated charging time is displayed 
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 
scheduled charging or scheduled 
air conditioner/heater is set, the 
estimated charging time is displayed 
as “--” .
 Information
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.

How to Connect DC Charger 
1.  Depress the brake pedal and apply the 
electronic parking brake.
2.  Shift to P (Park) and turn OFF the  vehicle using the POWER button.
 Information
If charging is initiated without the gear in  
P (Park), charging will start only after the 
gear is automatically shifted to P (Park).

3.  Unlock the vehicle before opening the  charging door. From the outside the  
vehicle, push on the charging door 
in the area indicated by the arrow to 
open the door.
 Information
If you cannot open the charging door due  
to freezing weather, tap lightly or remove 
any ice near the charging door. Do not try 
to forcibly open the charging door.

4.  Remove the charging port dust cover  (1).
5.  Inspect the charging port to make  sure it is free from any dust or debris.
6.  Hold the charging connector handle  firmly and insert the connector into 
the charging port all the way. 
If the connector is not completely  
inserted into the charging port, arcing 
may occur. This may cause a fire.
7.   Check if the charging indicator light (
) of the high voltage battery 
in the instrument cluster is turned  
ON. Charging is not active when the 
charging indicator light (
) is OFF.
If the charging indicator light is OFF,  
it may be necessary to disconnect the 
charging connector from the vehicle 
and repeat the connection process. 
Refer to the charging station display 
screen for more information. 
During cold weather, DC charging  
may not be available to prevent high 
voltage battery degradation.

NOTICE
In high ambient temperature conditions  
like during summer months, the A/C 
system may be operating during 
EV battery charging.  You may hear 
additional noises generated from the 
operation of the A/C compressor and 
cooling fan.  This is a normal condition.
 Information
Note that the vehicle cannot be shifted out  
of P (Park) when the vehicle is charging.OOSEV040489L

 Information
Charging connector AUTO/LOCK mode 
The charging connector is locked in the  
inlet at a different period according to which mode is selected.   •	 LOCK mode : The connector locks  
when the charging connector is plugged into the charging inlet.
•	 AUTO mode : The connector locks when charging starts. 
For more details, refer to “Charging 
Connector AUTO/ LOCK Mode” in this 
chapter.

9.  Charging starts automatically  
(charging lamp blinks).
10. Check if the charging indicator light  (
) of the high voltage battery 
in the instrument cluster is turned  
ON. Charging is not active when the 
charging indicator light ( 
) is OFF.
If the charging indicator light is OFF,  
it may be necessary to disconnect the 
charging connector from the vehicle 
and repeat the connection process.
 Information
Note that the vehicle cannot be shifted out  of Park (P) when the vehicle is charging.

How to Start the Vehicle
1.  Holding the smart key, sit in the driver’s seat. 
2.  Fasten the seat belt before starting  the vehicle. 
3.  Make sure to engage the parking  brake. 
4.  Turn OFF all electrical devices. 
5.  Make sure to depress and hold the  brake pedal. 
6.  While depressing the brake pedal,  shift to P (Park).
7.   Depress and hold the brake pedal  
while pressing the Start/Stop button. 
8.  When the “
” indicator is ON, you 
can drive the vehicle. When the “
” indicator is OFF, you 
cannot drive the vehicle. Start the  
vehicle again. 
9.  Depress and hold the brake pedal and 
shift to the desired position. 
 Information
While the charging cable is connected, the  
gear cannot be shift from P (Park) to any 
other gear for safety reasons. 
10. Release the parking brake and slowly  release the brake pedal. Check if the  
vehicle slowly moves forward, then 
depress the accelerator pedal.  
How to Stop the Vehicle
1.  Hold down the brake pedal while the 
vehicle is parked.
2.  While depressing the brake pedal,  shift to P (Park).
3.  While depressing the brake pedal,  engage the parking brake. 
4.  While depressing the brake pedal,  
press the Start/Stop button and turn 
off the vehicle. 
5.  Check if the “
” indicator is turned 
OFF on the instrument cluster. When the “
” indicator is ON and 
the gear is in a position other than  
P (Park), the driver can accidently 
depress the accelerator pedal, causing 
the vehicle to move unexpectedly.

•	
The range that is displayed on the  
instrument cluster after completing 
a recharge may vary significantly 
depending on previous driving 
patterns.  
When the previous driving patterns  
include aggressive or high speed 
driving (e.g. predominantly highway 
miles, etc.), the estimated range on 
the next full charge will be lower than normal.  
When the previous driving patterns  
are predominantly mild or economical 
(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 Destination is  
Set 
When a destination is set using the  
vehicle navigation system (if equipped), 
the vehicle range may change. The 
vehicle range is recalculated using the 
destination route information. While 
driving, the range may vary based on 
traffic conditions, driving pattern and 
vehicle settings, etc.
Tips for Improving Range When  
Using the Climate Control 
System
•	 Operating the climate control system  
consumes electrical energy from 
the EV battery. Continuous use may 
reduce the vehicle range. 
When using the climate control  
system, it is recommended to set 
the control to 22°C (72°F) 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.
Tips for Improving Range While  Driving
•	Depress and hold the accelerator  
pedal to maintain speed and drive 
economically. 
•	 Gradually depress and release the 
accelerator pedal when accelerating 
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.
