State of Charge (SOC) Gauge for High Voltage Battery

  • The SOC gauge shows the charging status of the high voltage battery. “0 or L (Low)” position on the indicator indicates that there is not enough energy in the high voltage battery. “1 or H (High)” position indicates that the driving battery is fully charged.

  1. When there are 2 gauge bars (near the “0 or L (Low)” area) on the SOC gauge, the warning lamp turns ON to alert you of the battery level.

  2. When the warning lamp turns ON, the vehicle can drive an additional 20-30 km (12-18 miles) depending on the driving speed, heater/air conditioner, weather, driving style, and other factors. Charging is required.

    CAUTION

    When there are 1-2 gauge bars left for the high voltage battery, the vehicle speed is limited and then eventually the vehicle will turn OFF. Charge the vehicle immediately.
