the required battery amount, it can ensure the optimal battery performance for a long
time, compared to full battery charging.
Charging Current
You can set the charging current depending on the installed charger type.

A
The charging time may vary depending on charging conditions.

A
If a problem occurs during charging, lower the charging current and try again. If you
lower the charging current, it may take longer to charge the battery.
Winter Mode (if equipped)
Can increase the battery temperature in advance to enhance the charging and driving
performance when scheduling charge or climate controls in winter. This decreases the
drivable distance because it causes to drain the battery faster.
Utility Mode
Turns on utility mode. When this function is on, electric systems on the vehicle are operated
using the driving (high-voltage) battery.

A
To turn off utility mode, press the Start button.
