6. 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.
When the charging connector is not
connected properly, reconnect the
charging cable to charge it again.
During cold weather, DC charging
may not be available to prevent high
voltage battery degradation.
Information
To control the temperature of the high voltage battery while charging, the
air conditioner is used to cool down the battery which may generate noise
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan.
Also, the air conditioner’s performance
may be degraded during summer due to
operation of the cooling system for the
high voltage battery.
Information
Even though charging is possible with
the Start/Stop button in the ON/START

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.
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.
• In rare cases, you might hear high
frequency noise (very little beep sound)
outside the car when charging with
400V fast charger that is deteriorated
or has long communication delay.
The high frequency noise can be
generated only when the car tries to
reduce its own electromagnetic waves to keep fast charging as possible.
So there is no need to worry about this little noise, because it is the intentional
operation of the car that does not
affect any charging performance or the vehicle itself at all.
