Foreword / Electric vehicle system overview

Virtual engine sound system

Distance to empty

The Virtual Engine Sound System

generates engine sound for pedestrians

to hear vehicle sound because there is

no sound whilst the Electric Vehicle (EV)

is operating.

śꢀ If the vehicle is in the ready (

)

mode and the gear is not in P (Park),

the VESS will be operated.

śꢀ When the gear is shifted to R

(Reverse), an additional warning

sound will be heard.

ONE1Q011049

The distance to empty is displayed

differently according to the selected

drive mode in the Drive Mode Integrated

Control System.

For more information, refer to “Drive

Mode Integrated Control System” in

chapter 6.

CAUTION

śꢀ The vehicle is much quieter whilst

driving than a conventional petrol-

powered vehicle. Be aware of your

surroundings and always drive safely.

śꢀ After you park the vehicle or whilst

you are waiting at a traffic light,

check whether there are children or

obstacles around the vehicle.

śꢀ Check if there is something behind

the vehicle when driving in reverse.

Pedestrians may not hear the sound

of the vehicle.

When destination is not set

śꢀ On average, a vehicle can drive about

320 km (Standard type) / 400 km

(Extended type).

śꢀ Under certain circumstances where

the air conditioner/heater is ON,

the distance to empty is impacted,

resulting in a possible distance

range from 170~460 km (Standard

type) / 210~570 km (Extended type).

When using the heater during cold

weather or driving at high speed, the

high voltage battery consumes a lot

more electricity. This may reduce the

distance to empty significantly.

śꢀ After ‘0 km’ has been displayed, the

vehicle can drive an additional 3~8 km

depending on driving speed, heater/

air conditioner, weather, driving style,

and other factors.

1-50

01

śꢀ Distance to empty that is displayed

on the instrument cluster after

completing a recharge may vary

significantly depending on previous

operating patterns.

Tips for improving distance to

empty

śꢀ If you operate the air conditioner /

heater too much, the driving battery

uses too much electricity. This

may reduce the distance to empty.

Therefore, it is recommended that

you set the cabin temperature to

22°C AUTO. This setting that has

been certified by various assessment

tests to maintain optimal energy

consumption rates whilst keeping the

temperature fresh.

When previous driving patterns

include high speed driving, resulting

in the high voltage battery using more

electricity than usual, the estimated

distance to empty is reduced. When

the high voltage battery uses little

electricity in ECO mode, the estimated

distance to empty increases.

śꢀ Distance to empty may depend on

many factors such as the charge

amount of the high voltage battery,

weather, temperature, durability of

the battery, geographical features,

and driving style. When the ambient

temperature is low such as in winter,

the actual driving distance may

reduce due to degradation of the

battery.

śꢀ Natural degradation may occur with

the high voltage battery depending

on the number of years the vehicle is

used. This may reduce the distance to

empty.

Turn OFF the heater and air

conditioner if you do not need them.

śꢀ When the heater or air conditioning

system is on the energy consumption

is reduced if recirculation mode is

selected instead of selecting the fresh

mode. The fresh mode requires large

amount of energy consumption as

the outside air has to be re-heated or

cooled.

śꢀ When using the heater or air

conditioning system use the DRIVER

ONLY or scheduled air conditioner/

heater function.

śꢀ Depress and hold the accelerator

pedal to maintain speed and drive

economically.

śꢀ Gradually depress and release the

accelerator pedal when accelerating

or decelerating.

When destination is set

When the destination is set, the distance

to empty may change. The distance

to empty is recalculated using the

information of the destination. However,

the distance to empty may vary

significantly based on traffic conditions,

driving habits, and condition of the

vehicle.

śꢀ Always maintain specified tyre

pressures.

śꢀ Do not use unnecessary electrical

components whilst driving.

śꢀ Do not load unnecessary items in the

vehicle.

śꢀ Do not mount parts that may increase

air resistance.

electric energy economy with the date

and distance of previous driving. The

icon is displayed on the most efficient

- Operating the winter mode to

increase the battery temperature

during winter to improve the driving

performance.

- Cooling down the battery

temperature during summer to

State of charge (SOC) gauge for

high voltage battery

4. ‘Driving’ shows the total power

and energy consumption of the

driving motor’s driving energy and

regenerative energy.

Power/Charge Gauge

ONE1Q011003

śꢀ The SOC gauge shows the charging

status of the high voltage battery.

śꢀ The low percentage number on the

indicator indicates that there is not

enough energy in the high voltage

battery. 100 % indicates that the

driving battery is fully charged.

śꢀ When driving on highways or

motorways, make sure to check

in advance if the driving battery is

charged enough.

ONE1Q011050

The Power/Charge Gauge shows the

energy consumption rate of the vehicle

and the charge/discharge status of the

regenerative brakes.

śꢀ POWER :

It shows the energy consumption rate

of the vehicle when driving uphill or

accelerating. The more electric energy

is used, the higher the gauge level.

śꢀ CHARGE :

It shows the charging status of the

battery when it is being charged by

the regenerative brakes (decelerating

or driving on a downhill road). The

more electric energy is charged, the

lower the gauge level.

Information

śꢀ 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.

ONE1Q011011

When the remaining battery is lower than

10 % on the SOC gauge, the warning light

śꢀ 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.

(

) turns ON to alert you of the battery

level.

When the warning light ( ) turns ON,

the vehicle can drive an additional 30 ~

40 km depending on the driving speed,

heater/air conditioner, weather, driving

style, and other factors. Charging is

required.

śꢀ If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was

activated the high voltage battery level

may have decreased.

WARNING

NOTICE

When the high voltage battery level is

low, the power down indicator light (

illuminates and the vehicle power is

limited.

)

Charge the battery immediately since

your vehicle may not be driven, or may

roll back on a slope with the indicator

light ON.

Aux. Battery Saver+

The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that

monitors the charging status of the 12 V

auxiliary battery.

If the auxiliary battery level is low, the

main high voltage battery charges the

auxiliary battery.

ONE1Q011038

When the function is activating the

indicator lamp will illuminate and high

voltage electricity will be flowing in 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.
