Checking Basic Information on Charging Your Electric Vehicle
Before charging your vehicle, check and understand the information such as the
expected charging time according to the charge type, checking the State of Charge
(SOC), and setting the charger lock mode.
Checking charging type and charging time
The charge types for electric vehicle are as follows:
• AC charge : The electric vehicle is charged via a Level 2 AC public charger or
professionally installed home charger.
• DC charge : You can charge at high speeds at public charging stations. Refer to the
respective company’s charger app or online information that is provided for each DC
charger type.
• Portable charge : If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station due to a
lack of battery power, the vehicle can be charged with household electricity, using the
120 V ICCB portable charger included with the vehicle.

7. Close the charging inlet cover.
8. Press the charging door to completely close it.
Using a Portable Charger (ICCB)
If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station, you can charge the vehicle
using a separately purchased In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) in places where general power
(AC 120 V) is supplied.
WARNING Before charging the vehicle, carefully read and follow the instructions in “Setting
charging connector locking mode” to prevent property damage or injury due to electric
shock, fire, explosion, etc.

CAUTION To prevent property damage or injury due to fire or explosion, follow the instructions
below.
• Only use a genuine HYUNDAI portable charger (if equipped).
• Do not let children operate or touch the portable charger. Doing so may lead to unexpected accidents.
• Try to avoid using an extension cord, but if you must use to reach a 120 V outlet, ensure it is a medium to heavy duty grounded extension cord rated at 15 A minimum.
• The charger power you are using must comply with regulations and safely accommodate the Voltage, Current (Amps), and Power (Watts) ratings. If not, the
vehicle may not be charged or safety hazards, such as fire, may occur.

Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe and comfortable position plays
an important role for the safety of the
driver and passengers as much as seat
belts and airbags when in an accident.
WARNING Do not use a cushion that reduces friction
between the seat and the passenger. The
passenger’s hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt during an accident
or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could
result because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.

Airbags
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating airbag.
Sitting too close to an airbag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event the
airbag inflates. Move your seat as far back
as possible from front airbags while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
• Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the rear as possible while maintaining the ability
to control the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger seat as far to the rear as possible.
• Hold the steering wheel by the rim with your hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimize the risk of
injuries to your hands and arms.
• NEVER place anything or anyone between you and the airbag.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place feet or legs on the dashboard to
minimize the risk of leg injuries.

Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly
restrained. Infants and small children
must be restrained in appropriate Child
Restraint Systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults must
be restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:
• NEVER use one seat belt for more than one occupant.
• Always position the seatback upright with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
• NEVER allow children or small infants, or pets to ride on a passenger’s lap.
• Do not route the seat belt across your neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.
• Do not allow the seat belt to become caught or jammed.

Front Seats
WARNING Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:
• NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the operation
of the foot pedals, causing an accident.

• Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position and proper locking
of the seatback.
• Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you operate the
seat, gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
• Use extreme caution when picking up small objects trapped under the seats
or between the seat and the center
console. Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
• If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while adjusting the front seat
position.
• Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the
seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.

CAUTION To prevent injury:
• Do not adjust your seat while wearing your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion
forward may cause strong pressure on
your abdomen.
• Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.

WARNING NEVER allow children in the vehicle
unattended. The power seats are
operable when the vehicle is turned off.

Press the release button (1) in the locking
buckle.
The belt should automatically draw back
into the retractor. If this does not happen,
check the belt is not twisted, then try
again.
Rear Seat Belts – 3-point system
with convertible locking retractor
This type of seat belt combines both an
emergency locking retractor and an
automatic locking retractor. Convertible
retractor type seat belts are installed in
the rear seat positions to help
accommodate the installation of child
restraint systems.
A convertible retractor is also installed in
the front passenger seat position,
children should always be seated in the
rear and never place any infant/child
restraint system in the front seat.
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the metal tab into the buckle. An
audible “click” sounds when the tab locks
into the buckle. Pull the shoulder portion
of the belt to snug the belt across your
hips and remove slack. Make sure the seat
belt is not twisted. When not securing a
child restraint, the seat belt automatically
adjusts to the proper length only after the
lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly across your
hips.When the seat belt has been fully
extended from the retractor to allow for
the installation of a child restraint system,
the seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend
(Automatic Locking Retractor Type). For
more information, refer to the “Child
Restraint System (CRS)” section in this
chapter.
To release your seat belt:
B3001507_1
Press the release button (1) in the locking
buckle.
The belt should automatically draw back
into the retractor. If this does not happen,

Information • The emergency locking mode allows seated
passengers to move freely in their seats
while keeping some tension on the belt.
During a collision or sudden stop, the
retractor automatically locks the belt to help
restrain the passengers.
• To deactivate the automatic locking mode, unbuckle the seat belt and allow the belt to
fully retract.

WARNING ALWAYS place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
Placing a rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat can result in serious injury
or death if the Child Restraint System is
struck by an inflating airbag.

Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move freely
under normal conditions and only lock
under extreme or emergency conditions
(emergency locking mode), you must
manually pull the seat belt all the way out
to shift the retractor to the "Automatic
Locking" mode to secure a Child Restraint
System.
The "Automatic Locking" mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and compromise the Child
Restraint System. To secure a Child
Restraint System, use the following
procedure.
To install a Child Restraint System on the
rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the Child Restraint System on a rear seat and route the lap/shoulder
belt around or through the Child
Restraint System, following the Child
Restraint System manufacturer’s
instructions. Make sure the seat belt
webbing is not twisted.
Information When using the rear center seat belt, you
should also refer to the "Rear Seat Belts –
3-point system with convertible locking
retractor" section in this chapter.

2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle. Listen for the distinct “click”
sound.
Information Position the release button so that it is easy
to access in case of an emergency.

B3002207
3. Pull the shoulder portion of the seat belt all the way out. When the shoulder
portion of the seat belt is fully
extended, it will shift the retractor to
the "Automatic Locking" (child
restraint) mode.
4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of the seat belt to retract and listen for an
audible "clicking" or "ratcheting"
sound. This indicates that the retractor
is in the "Automatic Locking" mode. If
no distinct sound is heard, repeat steps
3 and 4.
5. Remove as much slack from the belt as possible by pushing down on the Child

Restraint System while feeding the
shoulder belt back into the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the Child Restraint System to confirm that the seat belt is
holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps 2
through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the "Automatic Locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat belt
out of the retractor. If you cannot, the
retractor is in the "Automatic Locking"
mode.
If your Child Restraint System
manufacturer instructs or recommends
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/
shoulder belt, refer to the "Installing a
Child Restraint System (CRS)" section in
this chapter.

Information When the seat belt is allowed to retract to its
fully stowed position, the retractor will
automatically switch from the “Automatic
Locking” mode to the emergency lock mode
for normal adult usage.

WARNING If the retractor is not in the “Automatic
Locking” mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously injured
or killed if the child restraint is not
properly anchored in the car, including
manually pulling the seat belt all the way
out to shift the retractor to the
“Automatic Locking” mode.

To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the Child Restraint System and allow the
seat belt to retract fully.

• To help provide protection, the airbags must inflate rapidly. The speed of
airbag inflation is a consequence of
extremely short time in which to inflate
the airbag between the occupant and
the vehicle structures before the
occupant impacts those structures.
This speed of inflation reduces the risk
of serious or life-threatening injuries
and is thus a necessary part of airbag
design.
However, the rapid airbag inflation can
also cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and broken
bones because the inflation speed also
causes the airbags to expand with a
great deal of force.
• There are even circumstances under which contact with the airbag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the airbag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating airbag. The
greatest risk is sitting too close to the
airbag. An airbag needs about 10 in. (25
cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA
recommends that drivers allow at least 10
in. (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
• NEVER place a child restraint in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain children under
age 13 in the rear seats of the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger’s and driver's seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
• Hold the steering wheel with hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. • Never place anything or anyone
between the airbag and the seat
occupant.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.

Driver’s front airbag (1)
OLMB033054
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front
airbags.
Driver’s front airbag (2)
OLMB033055
Upon deployment, tear seam molded
directly into the pad cover will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
allows full inflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver’s or the front passenger’s forward
