State of Charge (SOC) Gauge for High Voltage Battery
"L (Low)" position on the indicator indicates that there is not enough energy in the high voltage battery.
"H (High)" position indicates that the driving battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motorways, make sure to check in advance if the driving battery is charged enough.
-
When there are 2 gauge bars (near the "L (Low)" area) on the SOC gauge, the warning lamp turns ON to alert you of the battery level.
-
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.
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.
