Understanding Your Electric Vehicle
Electric vehicles are driven using a battery and an electric motor. Understand the
characteristics of your electric vehicle and check the features that you must know before
driving it.
Characteristics of Your Electric Vehicle
The characteristics that differentiate electric vehicles from gasoline vehicles are as
follows:
• Electric vehicles are eco-friendly because they do not use fossil fuels for driving. Additionally, unlike gasoline vehicles, noise and vibration are minimal, and the
vehicle’s lifespan is relatively long.
• When slowing down or driving downhill, regenerative braking is used. Regenerative braking charges the high voltage battery and minimizes energy loss.
• If the high voltage battery is running low, you can charge the vehicle using the AC charger, DC charger, or portable charging cables. For more information, refer to the
"Charging Your Electric Vehicle" section in this chapter.
Information Regenerative braking uses an electric motor when decelerating and braking, and it transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in order to charge the high voltage battery.
Battery information
The batteries used in the electric vehicle are as follows:
•High voltage battery (high capacity) : Drives the motor and operates the air
conditioner and heater. It can be charged via an AC charger, DC charger, or portable
charger.
• 12 V battery : Operates all lights, wipers, and audio system. The 12 V battery charge can
also be maintained by the high voltage battery at parked condition at certain
conditions.
Main components of your electric vehicle
The main components of your electric vehicle and their functions are as follows:
• On-Board Charger (OBC) : Charges the high voltage battery by converting the power
grid’s AC power to DC power.
• Inverter : Converts power from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) and
supplies power to the motor, and converts power from AC to DC to charge the high
voltage battery during deceleration and braking.
• Low Voltage DC-DC Converter (LDC) : Converts the high voltage battery’s power
source to a low voltage (12 V) power source for supply of power to the electrical devices
on the vehicle.

Front Windshield Wipers
Operates as follows when the Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
MIST:
For a single wiping cycle, push the lever
upward (or downward) and release. The
wipers will operate continuously if the
lever is held in this position.
OFF:
Wiper is not in operation.
INT:
Wiper operates intermittently at the same
wiping intervals. To vary the speed
setting, turn the speed control knob (B).
AUTO:
The rain sensor located on the upper end
of the windshield glass senses the amount of rainfall and controls the wiping
cycle for the proper interval. The more it
rains, the faster the wiper operates. When
the rain stops, the wiper stops. To vary the
speed setting, turn the speed control
knob.
LO:
The wiper runs at a lower speed.
HI:
The wiper runs at a higher speed.
Information If there is heavy accumulation of snow or ice
on the windshield, defrost the windshield for
about 10 minutes, or until the snow and/or ice
is removed before using the windshield wipers
to ensure proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or ice
before using the wiper and washer, it may
damage the wiper and washer system.
AUTO (Automatic) control

If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode
when the Start/Stop button is in the ON
position, the wiper will operate once to
perform a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to the OFF position when the
wiper is not in use.
WARNING To avoid personal injury from the
windshield wipers, when the vehicle is
running and the windshield wiper switch
is placed in the AUTO mode:
• Do not touch the upper end of the windshield glass facing the rain sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a damp or wet
cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the windshield glass.

Front Windshield Washers
B5019701
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles. The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever. If the
washer does not work, you may need to
add washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.
Recirculating air when washer fluid
is used
When washer fluid is used, in order to
reduce any objectionable scent of the
washer fluid from entering the cabin,
recirculation mode and air conditioning
are automatically activated depending on
the outside temperature. If you select
fresh mode while the function is
operating, the function will resume after a
certain amount of time. It may not work in
some conditions such as cold weather or
vehicle off.
For more information, refer to the
“Climate Control Additional Features”
section in this chapter.
WARNING When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to help prevent the
washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.

“Tire Replacement” section in Chapter
9.
• Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. Using your
headlights when using your windshield
wipers is required in some jurisdictions.
• Driving too fast through large puddles may affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes are wet, apply them several times while the
vehicle is moving slowly.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may have
little or no contact with the road surface
and actually ride on the water. The best
advice is SLOW DOWN when the road is
wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases, For more
information, refer to the “Tire
Replacement” section in chapter 9.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is not
deeper than the bottom of the wheel hub.
If you are not sure, turn around and find a
different route. Drive through any water
slowly. Allow adequate stopping distance
because the brake performance can be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressure, as
specified. Under-inflation may overheat
or damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or fail.
Information Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified on
your tires.
Coolant and high voltage battery
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more electric energy and is
less efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
electric energy when driving on the
highway.
Be sure to check both the coolant level
and the electric energy level before
driving.

• Install a new cabin air filter with the arrow symbol (↓) facing down to
improve effectiveness.
• Always be sure that the front trunk cover is firmly closed after replacing
the cabin air filter.
Otherwise is may cause interior
damage in the motor compartment,
noise trouble, or entrance of foreign
substances.
Wiper Blades
Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wipers.
Common sources of contamination are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes. If
the blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the window and the blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Replace
blades as needed.

WARNING To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to
you or bystanders, always follow these
precautions when working near or
handling the battery:
Always read and follow instructions
carefully when handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed to protect
the eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery.
Hydrogen gas is always present in battery
cells. It is highly combustible, and may
explode if ignited.
