authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If you do not use the vehicle for a long time, charge the vehicle at least once every three months to prevent both the high voltage and the 12 V battery from fully discharging.
When the battery level has low level, immediately charge the vehicle.
• Using AC charging as much as possible can help keep the battery in optimal condition. Fully charging the battery when it is 20 % or lower helps to keep the battery in optimal
condition. (Charging once a month or more is recommended.)
• The charging level value displayed on the instrument cluster may decrease according to the charging conditions (charger status, outside temperature, battery temperature,
etc.). For longer battery life and safety, after a certain charging level is reached, the
charging current is gradually lowered to fully charge the battery.
Other Precautions for Electric Vehicle Management
CAUTION • When heat treatment after repairs or painting is applied to the vehicle due to an accident, the high voltage battery’s performance may be degraded. If heat treatment
is required, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• When cleaning the motor compartment, do not use a high pressure washer. Doing so may result in electric shock, due to a discharge in high voltage electricity, or damage
the vehicle’s electric system.
• Do not install third-party parts or modified parts on the vehicle. Doing so may damage the electric power system. Only use or install genuine parts.

Charging Your Electric Vehicle
Check the detailed information about charging an electric vehicle and charge your
vehicle.
Electric vehicles can be charged via an AC charger or DC charger installed at public
charging stations. If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station in the event
of an emergency, you can charge the vehicle via the In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) with a
power source (AC 120 V).
To find a nearby public charging station, refer to the “Searching for nearby charging
stations” in this chapter.
Safety Precautions for Charging Your Electric Vehicle
Before charging your electric vehicle, read and comply with all the safety information
below. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire and result in a serious injury,
death, vehicle malfunction, or property damage.
Precautions for electric medical devices
WARNING Electromagnetic waves that are generated from the charger can seriously impact electric
medical devices, such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker. When using such devices,
make sure to consult with your doctor and the manufacturer to find out whether charging
your electric vehicle will impact the operation of your device.

- Do not charge the vehicle if there is a risk of lightning.

Information • While charging, the gear cannot be shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.
• Ensure the vehicle door is unlocked before disconnecting the charging connector. The release button on the charging connector does not work when the vehicle door is locked.
• To control the temperature of the high voltage battery while charging or when the battery temperature is high, the air conditioning is used to cool down the battery. It may generate noise
or vibration from operation of the air conditioning compressor and cooling fan, but this is a
normal condition when charging the high voltage battery.
• The cooling system may be operated when using the air conditioner during charging. This may degrade the air conditioner’s performance temporarily.
• 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 (a small beeping sound) outside the vehicle when charging with a 400 V DC charger that has deteriorated or has long communication delay.
The high-frequency noise can be generated only when the vehicle tries to reduce its own
electromagnetic waves to keep DC charging as stable as possible. This beep sound does not
affect the charging performance or the vehicle itself.

Precautions for operating the cooling fan
