Battery conditioning mode (if equipped)

A: EV Settings

  1. Battery conditioning mode

  2. Battery conditioning mode

  • The Battery conditioning mode is efficient during the winter when the high voltage battery temperature is low. This mode is recommended to improve driving and DC charging performances during winter. However, the driving distance may be reduced as the energy is required to increase the battery temperature.

  • If the battery temperature is low during driving, Battery conditioning mode raises the battery temperature to an adequate level. Also, if the battery temperature is low when the scheduled air conditioner/heater is activated, this mode is operated to improve driving and charging performance. However, the mode is not operated to ensure driving distance when the battery level is low.

  • If you set the DC charging station as a destination in battery conditioning mode, you can reduce the charging time by raising the battery temperature to an adequate level when you arrive.

  • Battery conditioning mode indicator light illuminates whilst battery conditioning mode is operating.

NOTICE

This mode is available for vehicles equipped with a battery heater.

NOTICE

The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.

Utility mode

The high voltage battery is used instead of the 12V auxiliary battery for operating the convenient features of the vehicle. When driving is not necessary such as whilst camping or when stopping the vehicle for a long time, it is possible to use the electrical devices (audio, lights, air conditioner, heater, etc.) for long hours.
