Information Be aware of the followings when using battery conditioning mode.
• The driving distance may be reduced as energy is required to increase the battery temperature.
• If the battery temperature is low during driving or when the scheduled air conditioner/heater is activated, the battery conditioning mode is operated to improve driving performance. To ensure
driving distance the battery conditioning mode will not be operated when the battery level is too
low.
• If you set the DC charging station as your destination while using the battery conditioning mode, the battery temperature is optimized for charging and you can shorten the charging time after
you arrive and start charging.
• Battery conditioning mode is available for vehicles equipped with the battery heater.

Setting Utility Mode
Utility mode allows the high voltage battery to be used instead of the 12 V auxiliary
battery for purposes other than driving. You can use the audio and lights of the vehicle
without discharging the 12 V auxiliary battery and even use the indoor V2L feature.
Information • You cannot drive the vehicle while the utility mode is activated, and the gear can only be shifted to P (Park).
• You can use every electric device in the vehicle while the utility mode is activated.
• When the utility mode is activated, the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is applied automatically.

Follow the instructions below to set the utility mode.
1. Check the operation conditions of the utility mode. • The (ready indicator) is displayed on the instrument cluster.
• The gear is shifted to P (Park).
2. On the infotainment system, swipe the Home screen to the left to display the All menus screen.
3. On the All menus screen, select EV > (EV Settings) > Utility mode and select Activate

Using V2L Function
Using the Vehicle to Load (V2L) feature, you can turn on electronic devices by connecting
them to the high voltage battery.
Safety Precautions When Using the V2L Function
Before using the V2L function, read and comply with all the safety information below.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire and result in serious injury, death, vehicle
malfunction, or property damage.
Precautions when using the V2L function
WARNING • Do not use the V2L function if the V2L connector, charging inlet, power plug, or cable is damaged, corroded, or rusted.
• Do not touch the V2L connector, charging inlet, or power plug with wet hands.
• Do not use the V2L function if the connection part of the V2L connector and the charging inlet is loose.
• Check if there is no water, dust, or other contaminants before connecting the connector and the power plug. They may cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not put metal objects or touch the V2L connector or charging inlet with bare hands.
• For electric devices used outdoors in a vehicle, use a product that is waterproof or use it in a waterproof environment. If rain or humidity intrude into electric devices,
multi-outlets, extension cords, etc., it may cause electric shock or damage the vehicle
or devices.
• If there is a risk of lightning, do not use the V2L function outside the vehicle.
• Do not use electric heating appliances such as an electric kettle, toaster, or iron in the vehicle. Doing so may result in a fire and injury.

Precautions when the cooling fan operates
WARNING
WL_MotorRoomHotCaution
When using the V2L, the cooling fan in the vehicle motor compartment can operate
automatically even if the vehicle is turned off. Do not put your hand near the cooling fan
when the V2L is operating.

Information • When the V2L connector is connected to the charging inlet of the vehicle, all doors and connectors will be automatically locked to prevent theft and separation. To disconnect the V2L
connector, unlock the door and pull the connector with the open switch pressed.
• Before using the V2L function, deactivate the scheduled climate setting referring to the “Setting Scheduled Charging and Climate”. The V2L function may be cut off depending on the
scheduled climate setting.
• To check and change the V2L setting, refer to the “Setting a Battery Discharging Limit When Using Vehicle to Load (V2L)”.
• If an electric device that exceeds the maximum power capacity is connected, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster and the power supply shuts off immediately.

Using Electricity Inside the Vehicle
You can connect home appliances or electric devices to the power outlet inside the
vehicle.
WARNING Do not use an electric heating appliances like electric kettle, toaster, or iron in the vehicle.
It may cause a fire or injury.

1. Press the Start/Stop button to the ON position or activate the utility mode. • For more information about the utility mode, refer to the “Setting Utility Mode” section in this chapter.

• V2L discharging mode shuts off if the vehicle turns off while using indoor V2L when the vehicle is ON.
• Opening the charging door or connecting the V2L connector to the charging inlet, the V2L discharging mode shuts off.
• If you want to use the indoor and outdoor V2L simultaneously, first connect the V2L connector to the charging inlet and then use the indoor V2L.
• When the high voltage battery charge level reaches the set discharging limit (%), the operation stops, and a warning message appears on the instrument cluster. If you want V2L operation, set
the discharging limit (%) lower than the current battery charge.

Aux. Battery Saver+
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that monitors the charging status of the 12 V battery.
If the 12 V battery level is low, the main high voltage battery charges the 12 V battery.
Information • The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates maximum of 20 minutes. If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function activates more than 10 times consecutively, in the Automatic Mode the function will stop
activating, judging that there is a problem with the auxiliary battery.
In this case, drive the vehicle for some period of time. The function will start activating if the
auxiliary battery returns to normal.
• The Aux. Battery Saver+ function cannot prevent battery discharge if the auxiliary battery is damaged, worn out, used as a power supply or unauthorized electronic devices are used.
• If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was activated the high voltage battery level may have decreased.

WARNING
B5019903_1
When the function is activating the indicator light illuminates and high voltage electricity
flows into the vehicle. Do not touch the high voltage electric wire (orange), connector,
and all electric components and devices. This may cause electric shock and lead to
injuries. Also, do not modify your vehicle in any way. This may affect your vehicle
performance and lead to an accident.
